Testing with total reduced equity using guaranteed stops.

[Shane Baker]

Hi David

I was wondering with the advent of margin in the latest beta, whether we could incorporate a method of implementing guaranteed stop positions to calculate overall capital and therefore free capital for investing.

As an example IG markets offer a guaranteed stop that frees up the margin required once the trade moves the stop to breakeven.

It would be useful if we could test systems based upon the total reduced equity eg capital plus profits protected by stops. This I would suspect would have a positive effect upon returns but is difficult to test.

Thanks for all your brilliant work.

Cheers

Shane
