Max Trailing Stops for Short Positions 

stock trading software - tony oz

Ticker: Enter Ticker symbol for the stock you are making this plan for.  This field can stay empty.  However, if you plan on printing this trading plan then typing in the Ticker can be helpful in record keeping.

Low Since Entry: Enter the lowest price the stock traded since you entered the trade.  

Entry Price: Enter the price at which you entered the trade.  

Target Price: Enter the price that you think the stock can go to.  This is where you will close your position with maximum profit.

Position size: Enter the number of shares in your current position.

Initial Stop Price: Enter the price which represents your initial stop loss for the trade.

I want to make sure that you understand that these numbers represent a price level at which a stop loss must be placed, if and only if, a trailing stop below logical support levels represent GREATER loss. If you can find logical support levels that represent lower risk than the Max Trailing Stop according to the calculator, then you must place your trailing stop below those levels (above resistance in short positions). 

Please refer to pages 64-66 in the book How to Take Money from Wall Street for more information about this tab of the calculator.  Please note that I have made adjustments to the percentages stated in the book on page 64 as I broke down the calculation to more than the five tears I used in the book.
