How To Use SmartStops
Equity risk levels are not constant. Improve your returns and reduce your risk by
sidestepping periods of abnormal risk exposure.
If one of your positions falls and triggers its SmartStop, consider selling or hedging
the position to protect your assets. When the price rises and triggers a reentry
alert, an indication that the risk profile has improved and returned to normal,
consider reentering the position or removing your hedge.
