Episode 186 – Pyramiding. Protecting Profits. Pt 3

Hi Traders,

This week’s episode was inspired by one of our clients, Noel, who had some great questions on the previous 2 builds.

He wanted to know how to automatically set the direction to long or short in the model we recently built to take advantage of the way the logic works to lock in profits.

Well, we’ll show you how in this episode – it’s easier than you think.

Also, in this episode, we use an indicator that has been developed by one of our 2021 Algo Conference speakers and was actually used in one of the models presented in 2019. This episode is a must-watch.
