We are always looking to correctly time our entries, so as to be into the money early in a trade. This saves time, adds up profits, allows us to use more funds for a certain trade (only when some partial positions are already protected) and lowers the overall risk exposure. However, even if our entries are temporarily trading 'out of the money' - as long as the pre-established unit size for the trade is not reached - we may still add up to our positions, waiting for the trade to mature.

Cutting losses may be difficult at times, however we see it as an inevitable means to protect our investment and that of our clients. If and whenever we discover a flaw in our triple buffer perspective, action is take immediately to take profits immediately and/or minimize losses, as the case may be. Also, we may decide to hedge our positions, thus gaining time to re-think our immediate strategy and come up with the right solution.

We use stop loss orders for 2 main purposes: 1) to protect your account from possibly large drawdowns (when trading conditions are extremely volatile) and 2) to make sure that our money management rules regarding maximum position sizes are respected at all times.
