Alpha Stops

Your answer to exiting the trade successfully

I’ve waited 4 years to release Alpha Stops. It’s been a core part of my personal toolkit, and now it’s finally ready for the Alpha community.

This is just phase one - there’s another advanced adaptation of this stop model coming exclusively to Alpha Stops in the months ahead. But first, I want our Vault members to get comfortable with the foundation: precise, adaptive stops designed specifically for our high-momentum Trading Alpha setups.

The mission is simple: set it, forget it, let the trade prove itself.

Alpha Stops force every position to either perform - or get cut. No babysitting. No emotional decisions. We rotate capital into strength and free up capital from setups that lag. In trading, time is opportunity cost - and these stops remind us of just that.

Great traders aren’t defined by just entries… they’re defined also by disciplined risk management . Nothing impacts PnL more than risk management, and stop-loss placement is half the game. Let’s dive in.

Long or Short trade?

You can apply these stop-loss levels to both long and short positions. Inside the Alpha Vault indicator settings, simply select whether you're using a Long Stop-Loss or a Short Stop-Loss.

By default, Alpha stops uses a Long Stop-Loss so if you're trading the short side, make sure to switch it before entering your trade.

Picking your Risk Tolerance

There are two types of Explosive Stop-Loss settings inside Alpha Stops:

✅ Low-Risk Tolerance

Designed for traders who want tighter protection and minimal draw-down. This stop-loss will hug price action more closely, giving less room for pullbacks and cutting the trade faster if momentum stalls.

✅ High-Risk Tolerance

Built for traders who still want a stop loss designed for explosive setups but who prefer to give their trade a little more breathing room to mature. This setting still protects you - but allows deeper pullbacks so that any short term volatility doesn't shake you out too early.

In short:

Setting	Best For	Behavior
Low-Risk	Tight risk, fast exits	Closer stop, smaller drawdowns
High-Risk	Letting trades stretch	Wider stop, more room to run

Long Trade Stop-Loss

Here is an example of a long Stop-Loss that we started from the first green Dot on Bitcoins 2023-current cycle. Notice how the stop-loss required the price action to perform but still giving it enough room for dips and corrections. It has captured all of the stage 2 uprend so far which is the goal in trading.
