Swwney offers a methodology for trading futures in both trending and ranging markets. He shows the importance of stop placement and the impact of stops on profitability. Sweeney argues that profitable trades have little drawdown while unprofitable trades have large drawdown. Therefore, the idea of max adverse excursion can be used to differentiate between winning and losing trades and gives the trader an edge in placing stops. Sweeney's later book, "Maximum Adverse Excursion", give the excel code necessary to implement the concepts he describes in "Campaign Trading".
