Your stop loss triggers. Then the market comes back and what would have been a winner becomes a realized loss. That is what the data keeps showing for short-term SPX jade lizards. Seven-day jade lizards across multiple spread width combinations and profit target levels. Stop losses lower your average P&L and increase your time in the trade without making the position safer. The expected move placement consistently outperforms tighter placements. And 25% profit targets get you out faster with results close enough to larger targets that the speed is worth it.
