Hello group I have a question, I have been trying to develop different types of trailing stops for individual tickers.
I have been using the self.SetRiskManagement(MaximumDrawdownPerSecurity(x)) as a trailing stop for the strategy. As far as I can see in the backtests works good. Is there any problem using it as my main trailing stop?
Thanks and regards

Hi Ro
Note that the MaximumDrawdownPercentPerSecurity RM model is not intended for a trailing stop, but only comparing the PnL of a security's average price of opening positions. Instead, use the TrailingStopRiskManagementModel.
