# Stopping a strategy after consecutive losers

Trending days or ranging days can make or break a strategy. If you have a system that does extremely well on trending days, you may look for a way to turn that system off during range-bound days. A simple filter you may use could be something like, "If the last three trades were consecutive losers, stop trading for the rest of the session."

## Key concepts in this example

* Obtaining previous trade information to decide whether or not to keep trading for the day
