The stop of 30 points is optimized for my time based entry and exit. As the trades are quite
long during the day (normally).
Having the stop more dense it is taken out many times - and the price is again in the intended
direction.
If the stop is set too wide - the negative days weigh to much.

To make it clear: my 30 point stop is optimized with the one trade per day system. It can not been
transferred to another approach.
Just test your own system back and find the optimal stop settings and eventually the take profit points.

GFIs1

Plus: Your system has volatility halts in the sense that trading stops after high vola days.
This is also necessary because 30 tick stops are already relatively close considering
daily ATR14 of >200 at the moment.

otherwise no points will be made.

So here is the abbreviation chart - with some points made:

Today really new ATH possibility. **
Late yesterday pricing was already on new levels.
Start into this Friday brings already a new High.
Looks like QE money is still bringing heavy up
momentum - for a longer time of course.

**needs to be confirmed by End of Day though
