The final study in Aspens Kase package is a rigorous exit system. This stop system finds the optimal statistical balance between letting profits run, while cutting losses. Kase Stop Amount seeks an ideal stop level by accounting for volatility (risk), the variance in volatility (the change in volatility from bar to bar), and volatility skew (the propensity for volatility to occasionally spike incorrectly).
Kase Stop Amounts are set at points at which there is an increasing probability of reversal against the trend being statistically significant based on the log normal shape of the range curve. Setting stops will help you take as much risk as necessary to stay in a good position, but not more.
Interpretation
The stop amount tells the trader how much the actual dollar amount per unit is at risk at the warning line, and the three stop levels.
