DislikedYen,
What I wonder is how often the reduced SL would have been hit in the last year. 30% of a 150 pip box is small enough but we also get boxes in the 100 pip range. I do think the reduced SL makes sense. I haven't figured out the right % to use or if there are signals that indicate it's better to use the reduced SL for a particular trade (like box size).

Your combination of methods is probably better. At this point, I'm trying to keep it as mechanical as possible so the changes stay somewhat true to the original concept.
