The Difference Between Aggressive and Conservative Risk Alerts

Aggressive SmartStops are designed to provide maximum downside protection and typically lie closer to the current price of the stock or ETF. Conservative SmartStops allow for more price movement resulting in fewer triggers and a lower probability of whipsaw. Both signal families intelligently adjust in an effort to keep you in an uptrend longer while exiting early in a down trend. Investors often favor the Aggressive signals for positions they plan to exit soon or want to more closely protect their profits.

For those willing to let their symbol’s price fluctuation have a greater volatility, the Conservative SmartStop approach will fit well. The Conservative approach will definitely result in fewer triggers (perhaps even none throughout the year) but also allow more profits to be given back in periods of market corrections.
