Trailing Stop Loss After a Breakout

Hi traders,

Welcome to Episode 387 of Trading Talk. In this episode, we extend our recent carry trade series by implementing a trailing stop-loss after breakout logic, designed to protect profits and manage risk on open trades.

You’ll see how we pause the model mid-cycle, manually close selected positions, and let others run with protective stops. This episode is a real-time look at structured model control and decision-making.

We’ll revisit the model next week to evaluate if and how to restart it, showing how to manage models step-by-step in changing market conditions.

And we’re excited to announce Alan Clement as the third speaker for this year’s Algo Trading Conference, joining Daniel Sinnig and Boris Schlossberg. With over 30 years of experience in quantitative trading, Alan’s evidence-based approach is a major addition to this year’s lineup.

Key Points

  • Trailing stop-loss logic added after breakout entry
  • Model paused mid-cycle with selective trade closures
  • Real-time risk-managed strategy control
  • Alan Clement announced as third Algo Conference speaker
