<figure><img src="/files/n34ioHrQGbc0UgmHrYMC" alt=""><figcaption><p>The AlgoBox™ strategies utilize four types of stop losses: Box, Dot, Cross and Triangle.</p></figcaption></figure>

For bullish scenarios, stop losses are ideally placed behind (under) the Box, Dot, Cross or Triangle.

For bearish scenarios, stop losses are ideally placed behind (above) the Box, Dot, Cross or Triangle.<br>

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:yellow;">Deciding on the Box, Dot, Cross, or Triangle depends on which strategy you've chosen to use.</mark>\
\ <mark style="color:yellow;">The Ultimate OBOS Triangle is a powerful tool for larger charts like Tide and Wave. Use it carefully, as setting your stop loss here can increase risk.</mark>
