Managing Risk with Jarvis

Jarvis has two built-in risk management tools. Learning to use them in week one will save you money.

Last Updated: March 19, 2026

1. Tags — Only Trade When You See One
  • A tag signals that a high-probability setup is forming
  • No tag = no trade. Off-tag trading is an emotional trade and exposes you to greater risk
  • When there's no tag, you don't need to be doing anything — step away and let Jarvis work
  • *We never recommend trading on every tag – see our  Understanding Trading Signals guide
2. The Cloud Algo — Your Stop Loss Indicator
  • The moment a tag forms, the edge of the Jarvis Cloud is your stop loss
  • The cloud width varies by volume and volatility — stop distances typically fall in the 15–25% range
  • Set your stop where the cloud tells you, before you enter the trade
  • Adjust your stop loss to take more profit as the trade moves
Traders using Thinkorswim can set an auto-stop template that triggers when a trade is entered. Here's how:
  1. Open your Order Entry panel
  2. Set Order Type: Stop
  3. Enter your stop price based on the current cloud level on your Jarvis chart
  4. Set to GTC (Good Till Cancelled) to keep it active beyond the session
  5. Submit alongside your entry order
