Wanted to make sure that I understand how to use the MAE plot correctly. Let's say that this is the result of my plot If my understanding is correct, this graph tells me that I could Catch a bunch of negative outliers by placing a stop around 270 pips. Does this make sense? Is my understanding correct? Last edited by Dalla; 03/06/17 07:41.

So a stop loss at 270 pips would reduce those outsized losses without affecting any of your profitable trades in this backtest. www.robotwealth.com
