Breakeven stop

An educational concept. Not a signal, not a strategy, and not a trade Josh has taken.

A flowing ice-blue glass ribbon rising and dipping through empty space, an unlabeled picture of price in motion.
Illustration of the idea, not a market chart and not a result.

Moving the stop to the entry price (plus costs) after price has moved a set distance in favor.

How traders use it: Reduces the planned loss to roughly zero after a defined condition, ideally a new structure point, not a feeling.

Common mistake: Moving to breakeven too early, then getting stopped on a normal retest before the move continues.
