# Stop Defense

Use this skill for post-entry risk control.

## Move stop to entry (breakeven)
```bash
${OPENCLAW_HOME:-$HOME/.openclaw}/tools/alpaca/stop_manager.sh move-stop-entry \
  --symbol <TICKER> --offset-bps 5 --replace
```

## Protect % of profits
```bash
${OPENCLAW_HOME:-$HOME/.openclaw}/tools/alpaca/stop_manager.sh protect-profit \
  --symbol <TICKER> --protect-pct 50 --min-gain-pct 0.30 --replace
```

## Interpretation

- `offset-bps`: tiny cushion beyond entry to avoid noise stopouts.
- `protect-pct`: fraction of unrealized gain to lock with stop.
- `min-gain-pct`: only upgrade to profit-protect after enough gain.

Default operating policy:
- At +0.3% to +0.5% favorable move: move to breakeven.
- At +1R or clear extension: protect 40-60% gain.
- As trend matures: protect 60-75% gain.

Doctrine: see `knowledge/wiki-highlights/STOP_MANAGEMENT.md` for the
full ladder, ATR/volatility-based stop sizing, time stops, and gap-risk
caveats. Never widen a stop to avoid taking a planned loss.


## Stream-trigger use:

- Trade update fill/partial-fill wake => run `move-stop-entry` immediately.
- Price shock wake with open profit => run `protect-profit` using 40-70% ladder.
- Always replace old stop orders (`--replace`).
