The Break And Reverse (BAR) trading models use a simple volatility filter and fixed % risk along with a few other filters to first establish what days to trade and how many contracts to possibly trade that day.

The trading size is based on the fixed % of the account size to try and set a max risk per trade. If the risk per trade is small enough or the account size grows large enough multiple contracts can be used.

The initial trade in the morning is a break out trade based on a fraction of the previous days range. After we establish a position we take a SAR approach always keeping us in the market until 1 hour before market close. during the last hour we use just a trailing stop to continue to reduce risk and hopefully protect more profit as the market moves in our favor.

Starting May 23rd we'll be changing the parameters of the trading model to hopefully do auto compounding and reducing our % risk to 4% per trade. We'll do periodic checks to make sure that the account balance stays similar to the C2 balance.

Risking 4% per trade does sound like a lot although with the way that we trade anytime the market moves in our favor to make new profits our stop will also trail behind lowering our risk. We only carry our full risk on trades that trigger our trailing stop and reverse right away. Which can happen from time to time.

As of now, the BAR trailing model has had great fills in C2 with zero if any slippage. This is a great benefit to us and comes to us due to using stops for entries and reversals and only using market orders for our end of day exits.
