How many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

[arihant]

You are right putting sl on long distances is just because we don't want to lose our money and we think that price will hit our tp rather than sl but that is a bad attitude if the trend is reversed don't keep your position open and close it and concentrate on your next trade.

[chirayu]

Its all depend upon market situation and margin you have in your trading account.If you have large margin then if your signals goes wrong then there is time to recover from it.

[jabrik1991]

I myself think it all depends on the pair that we use in trade, for example such as the GBP-USD which has a large daily range. must use at least 35-40 pips for SL

[raja]

I always put on trade with TP and SL, I put the stop loss is not appropriate in support resistance, but I preferred 10 pips, so as not subject SL, then price reverses direction. I am evaluating my trading skills to progress

friend In my view 10pips stop loss is batter if you are scalping trader but if you are other type of trader then 10pips is not good stop loss. you need to modify your stop loss according to your analyses.
In forex we can see movement more then 100pips in a day some time in a hours.
we should set stop loss according to our analyse not on base no of pips.

[cumil]

whats your style? scalping/ intraday?

I think 10 pips is too tight, I'm sure your stop losses will be hit, maybe you can think again if your stop loss could broadening again perhaps 15 or 20, maybe it would be great

[sachin]

my experience is same with u,..every set sl on 10-20 pips price is touch the sl and turned toward,..so now i using sl 30-50 pips more safer than use 10-20 pips

[arihant]

well i guess it depends how much you are willing to loose on each trade and it depnends on the lot size too higher the lot size small the sl smaller the lot size higher the sl so atlast it depnds on you euqity also

means the system that you use to monitor a trade directly, but you have to dare to take risks when there is minus on the account, such as cut loss. most importantly do not be afraid to take big losses when the price moves, and we reverse. . .

[venkiaries61]

Stop loss is very important on your trades, if you are newbies. Most experienced traders hesitate to use Stoploss. They analyze well and place the position, they also wait for a long time to achieve the target. This is suitable for me. let us discuss.

Many newbies ask me how many pips is safe for stop loss? I think its all depend on how much you afford to lose and we have to put stop loss by checking resistance and support levels, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

SL is not important as opening a good trade, the better your trading decision the better is the trade and more are the chances of earning a good profit, personally i never keep a loosing trade too long if the general market trend does not agree with my trade, sometimes keeping an SL closes a good trade too fast

stop loss is very good friends. therefore security for trading account. use buy stop and sell stop is also a good partner for an SL because it makes us not easily touched. determination of SL installation. is the calculation of an indicator fibonanci retreacment.

25 to 30 pips are safe for stop loss if you set it on more value then it give you more loss therefore you must watch the market and then place your order other wise you go in loss

Bollinger Bands: put SL at 10 points above the upper band for short positions and 10 points below the lower band for a long position...

[aryan]

yes agree..
on a account with higehr risk plan we can put lower SL with higher lotsize...
but we will need higher SL point with another plan with lower profile/risk strategy ...

[aryan]

short pips only make it faster for the account to be cut..
it is better to wait until the price will moves down because next order will not always come too smooth...

[dmambi]

Putting tight stop loss will always lead to loss in a volatile market, one should should identify the nearby support and resistance lines and place the stop loss. The number pips of stop loss depends on the size of the account and other factors.

[s19]

Bollinger Bands: put SL at 10 points above the upper band for short positions and 10 points below the lower band for a long position...
friend in my view putting stop loss on base bollinger band is not good idea.
if any one using long time frame like day or weekly than stop loss is more than 600-700 pips. this so high number of pips. in upper or lower we can see many support and resistance we can put stop loss withing this range.

[jabrik1991]

factor because they do not understand the error magnitude of the average daily range on the currency traded. gbp-usd suppose about the minimum for scalping should put the SL between 40-50 points. because it is a pair with big movements. as only the eur-usd

[venkiaries61]

yea i agree with you but i do not know why some traders like the reverse direction like putting 1:2 mean profit 1 and loss 2. we have learnt that we should be careful about the profits from the market and we should get more than loss.

Yes, its very hard to recover, if set 1:2 ratio for take profit and stop loss. Its better to put take profit and wait for the target. Its similar to long term trades.
Try to analyze well for the entry point and exit point.

[kanwaljit]

for an effective stop loss we should first see whether it is a trending market or a very volatile ranging market, because any stop loss is never a good stop loss in a very volatile market, it will always get hit and close the trade unnecessarily

[s19]

Yes, its very hard to recover, if set 1:2 ratio for take profit and stop loss. Its better to put take profit and wait for the target. Its similar to long term trades.

friend i agree with you that its hard to recover if we set 1:2 reward and risk ratio. but if we see many trader use this..its batter than not using stop loss value.
if we have to do good analyses and our entry is also good then we can easily made profit.
i always trade near to support and resistance with my analyses 1:2 profit and risk ratio. its touch stop loss in rear case other wise always hit tp.

[jabrik1991]

I thinks, If you have lost 5% of your actual capital which is deposited in your account then you should understand your luck is not in favor of you so you can close your trades and try next day because this day is not for you.

a risk management so that the defeat should be in the future we do not make mistakes again, capital must be on guard, do not waste capital simply because the rasp and revenge when we suffered defeat in the forex. all will make endless failures

[yogesh]

It depend on trading style and the target you set ... there can not be a specific pips quantity that is safe but you should determine it as per your target .... "higher the target higher should be the stop loss".

[nikhil]

scalping is short term trading..and scalping dont need much analysis so SL is needed to be set,,,and i usually trade scalping style and i set 15-25 pip in every trade....

[Anand]

It is depend on traders,which is the support,which is the resistance and you can take decision for stoploss.According to me there is 50 pips stoploss is good for traders and take profit is depend on your trade.

[dimdim]

there are some scalper who use a script to open a position, so that SL directly specify. weakness scalper is not dare cut loss when experiencing loss. I guess it would spend all the profit that has been gleaned.

If you place 50 pips stop loss then what is your profit target ? Actually different traders have different targets and different trading styles depending on the markets so they set different stop loss levels for their trades.

wait a saturation point is a very safe position, perform open market transactions on the sideway position is going to reduce the occurrence of large losses, we continue to use stop loss. not to forget this. noted that financial appreciate your

[kamla]

The number of pips can't be fixed for any trade. It totally depends on your style of trading and your capital, your limit to handle loss. If you are a scalper with minimum deposit then you must set a tight stop loss and if you are a swing trader with big deposit then you can afford to have a big stop loss. But the question you had asked can't be answered with a fixed number of pips.

[nikhil]

Stoploss should set at that point: if the market hit that point, that means the market conditions have been changed and the market is not our predict, we should exit our position and redo the analysis.

[kamla]

yes i also think so . when we do scalping then everything happen very quick and when all time infront of our pc then its not necessary to use set SL but without scalping its must be set SL and TP because it may secure our account.

[realfun07]

yes i also think so . when we do scalping then everything happen very quick and when all time infront of our pc then its not necessary to use set SL but without scalping its must be set SL and TP because it may secure our account.

Scalping involves short term trades and it involves performing many trades that need to be closed in short time.It is done for profit of 5 - 7 pips so i think even if you trade in 1:1 ration then you should put SL of 5 pips.

[s19]

friend i am not agree with you that we put stop loss in scalping like 5pips for take profit of 5-7pips.
in scalping if we do little bit good analyses then we can easily made 5-7pips profit.
in my view there is no need to set sl of this kind of tp..this type of retracement can possilbe in eatch manrket type.

[nikhil]

I am agree with you because most of the time my terget also 50 pips and about your opinion of SL its really urgent each of our trade i think. because without sl i think we are taking very big risk when there are very much movement of market sometime.

[nikhil]

yes i think you are correct because before i faced such due to net connection . i just see my position and dont put sl that time thinking that i am infront of pc and that time i lost net connection and that was newyork session and due to heavy movement of market i lost good number of pips . so i think its always better to put sl first then observe the open position.

[hiren]

About SL i think its depend on traders account balcne but i also think if there is sufficient balance then its not bad . but for me it may differ for market condition but 50 pips is not bad and most of the time i used it but tp is 30 to 40 pips.

[MTEBESSI]

I can't place a stop loss more than 70 pips so before opening a position it must be a good deal if at least I may risk 70 pips my target profit must be at 14O pips if not I prefer to avoid the deal and wait for an entry near key levels.

[nikhil]

yeah did exactly what you are saying that the placement of stop loss all depends on the traders but to stop loss will good if using a stop loss if the union of the stop loss can be low and vice versa

[nikhil]

the lower the risk of trades that you use I think this will impact both the emotional trade you do even though you will fare a little profit but it is good for your defense in this business

[nikhil]

it would be better to put the SL is higher than TP that we put that name because after the price will be making our first float because of the payment minus a spread, and this requires us to position the SL is greater than our short-TP

[anchitkole]

I think there is no hasitation to place stop loss at the risk level you are intended to take. So why there should be any confusion in this regard. If you are going to take 2% risk place the stop loss at 2% if you want to risk 5% of your capital place SL at 5%.

[anitagala124]

I usually put SL few pips below the support line in case of a long position and few pips above the resistance line in case of a short position so that if the support or resistance is broken in that case my selected SL may keep my account safe.

[shareem]

there are some scalper who use a script to open a position, so that SL directly specify. weakness scalper is not dare cut loss when experiencing loss. I guess it would spend all the profit that has been gleaned.

[dmambi]

- I always use the Stop losse every order with a limit of 120 pips and Take profit of 100 pips.

- Gooooooooood Luck.....
As i know your take profit and stop loss ratio should be 1:2 if you want to be a successful trader and make money, and it seems your stop loss pips are more than your take profit pips.

[wolfkamikaz]

for my opinion the pip for safe SL depent of your money and the averge i can give you exemple if your personal balance is 1000$ and you enter a 10,000$ deal (10:1 leverage), the maximal SL point will be 20 Pips which equal 20$ (2% of 1000$) then play it safe do not risk over 2% of your balance.Of course that's my opinion :)

[anitagala124]

You are very correct, normally, we should place the stoploss at resistance and support levels, then calculate how much pips we will risk, then calculate how much we can trade.

[blues0399]

The use of stop loss is a pleasure to insider forex and I think it depends on the style of your transactions scalpers use stop loss 20-30 and day traders using 50-100 seeds

[forexman]

yeah,i agree with @anytime sir that it depends on you how much amount you can afford to lose you have to put that and it totally depend on trader.

[yogesh]

yeah,i agree with @anytime sir that it depends on you how much amount you can afford to lose you have to put that and it totally depend on trader.

This is true that you should not set stop loss at more than you can afford to lose. But while determining stop loss you should consider few other factors as well, first whether risk reward ratio is good when you set stop loss at this level, and secondly is the stop loss you set is meaningful i.e. just below support level for long positions and just above resistance level for short positions.

[anchitkole]

Yes.SL input depends upon the type of trading too.The ratio i told is for normal swing traders.
But For Scalping i always feel that one should never provide SL since there are lot of chances to get SL triggered since its a very small value.

[anchitkole]

well it depends upon the need.But always its not wise to have like this TP=SL.
For beginners i recommend 2:1 ratio.
if TP is 100pips have SL as 50pips.So that if you lose a trade also,atleast the last trade's half profit will remain.

[anchitkole]

yes we can use support or resistance for stop loss or even SAR also.
mostly i will use pivot lines for determining the Stop loss and Profit levels. they are really useful.

[yogesh]

yes we can use support or resistance for stop loss or even SAR also.
mostly i will use pivot lines for determining the Stop loss and Profit levels. they are really useful.

It is worth to use pivot points to determine your SL and Target along with good entry level. And i noticed there is often some found some support or resistance at these levels but i still like to watch market at my own and mark important resistance and support for my trade.

[rakesh]

yes,you are right.SL should be decided with Support or resistance and they act as good one to determine.Even pivot points are also good in determining.so one can put SL based on this or specified values like ratio of TP :SL as 2:1 like that.It depends on traders need.

[rakesh]

I think it depends on the trader to use good money management, due to the placement of SL should also be calculated with market conditions as well.

[aniket]

I am agree with you because most of the time my terget also 50 pips and about your opinion of SL its really urgent each of our trade i think. because without sl i think we are taking very big risk when there are very much movement of market sometime.

[balakalimuthu]

I do not go for fixed number of pips for my stop-loss and target. I do trade based on pivot point analysis and I prefer to go till the resistance or support level for my target or stop-loss level. When I do scalping I might go fixed number of pips for my stop-loss.

[nikhil_rrane]

It is more important to you that you have to place the stop loss at appropriate level so that you can not get hit the stop loss immediately and you may get profit from that trade. Just go for the charts and get the major support and resistance levels at that place you can place the stop loss.

[hardworks]

how many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

Many newbies ask me how many pips is safe for stop loss? I think its all depend on how much you afford to lose and we have to put stop loss by checking resistance and support levels, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

Share your views...

Yes, i agree with this. The stop loss should be used by newbies. And the place where stop loss is placed is according to your analysis. For example, if you hope the market will move 20pips high. You should enter in correct entry. Then, if you feel the market cross some point and will reach reversal, then place stop loss in that point.

[forexpips]

when we are trading then pips are depend on market movement i think its depend our market judge also when we see market gong up or down then we take that decision how much pips we take in profit and how much in lose .

[hetal]

determine the stop loss is easy ... the hardest thing is to regulate our emotions, in the beginning we set a stop loss of 2% ... but in the middle of our trade to replace it be her 5% ... it is difficult to control ...

[hetal]

for me it was too little, I set a stop loss for as many as 20 pips scalping transactions and target 10 pips ...
because usually if only 10 pips, stop loss is often touched ...
7 pips if the price is just the opposite, with spreads 3 then the stop loss was hit ...

[hetal]

your strategy is right ... you're using the TP ratio is greater than the SL ...
Most traders to use the comparison between the TP and SL, SL is always greater than the TP .

[hetal]

I agree with 30 pips ...
better set a stop loss 30 pips in a support ...
because sometimes broke support at a moment, but then prices rebound again ...

[balakalimuthu]

your strategy is right ... you're using the TP ratio is greater than the SL ...
Most traders to use the comparison between the TP and SL, SL is always greater than the TP .
Yes. You're right. Even in my strategy I do follow 20 pips for target and 50 pips for stop-loss. But the point I want state here, if I wait for 50 pips target and letting stop-loss hit in my trading, most of the time my strategy produces more than 20 pips. So possibilities of hitting target is more compared to stop-loss. So, I still follow my strategy.

[aniket]

i am scalper too , i set my SL just 10 pips and take profit is 5 pips. the comparison is 1 : 2 ( TP : SL)
small range but scalper have many Transactions in one time.

[aniket]

10 pips is a tight and a safe SL because then you get out of a bad trade very quickly, the idea in forex is to enter a trade on a strong trend or not to bother at all and if it hits the SL it was never a good trade. Of 100 trades I take around 9 hit the SL

[vikas]

well i guess it depends how much you are willing to loose on each trade and it depnends on the lot size too higher the lot size small the sl smaller the lot size higher the sl so atlast it depnds on you euqity also

[fxTrader]

in my special opinion 40 pips is good enough for you to protect your self from a big loss , when i determine my stop loss at 40 pips i can leave my computer doing any thing and don't be worry about my traiding .

[strong]

I never put stop loss in terms of pips but I usually put stop loss after observing the support and resistance levels. The forex market is so volatile that a tight stop loss like 10 or 20 pips can harm us instead of giving us any benefit. So always put stop loss after observing the support and resistance levels.

[aniket]

25 to 30 pips are safe for stop loss if you set it on more value then it give you more loss therefore you must watch the market and then place your order other wise you go in loss

[vikas]

[aniket]

In the event of the Hedging we can go for a stop loss = 50 pips since we are not sure which way the market will go and that is the range which actually decides the movements.

[balakalimuthu]

Right strategy at last if you have more profits than losses they you have profits above principal money.Traders should use proper money management with risk reward ratio 1:2.

Setting the stop-loss pips double the target has both advantages and disadvantages: More chances on hitting target than stop-loss at the same time it's based on the strategy followed. The disadvantages is obvious, we need two successful trades to cover one stop-loss hit. So, setting stop-loss need much study and experience, still could not find a perfect one for me....

[vikas]

yeah did exactly what you are saying that the placement of stop loss all depends on the traders but to stop loss will good if using a stop loss if the union of the stop loss can be low and vice versa

[vikas]

the lower the risk of trades that you use I think this will impact both the emotional trade you do even though you will fare a little profit but it is good for your defense in this business

[vikas]

they can be like that and if we also added the ability to analyze the market then it is likely to be further exposed to SL

[nikam]

also good if you do not use stop loss but you emphasize on the use or setting money management and it is better according to my friend too

[nikam]

with TF 15 M I we can take more than 20 pips from the trend is opposite to the direction of the TF at the top and I think it's actually very good

I think there is no hasitation to place stop loss at the risk level you are intended to take. So why there should be any confusion in this regard. If you are going to take 2% risk place the stop loss at 2% if you want to risk 5% of your capital place SL at 5%.

I thought it should be 300 pips for trading daily chart before, now I think the stop loss should be less than 100 pips, and that is enough, so try to find some good ways to trade, and for the same timeframe, the stoploss is much different also for different strategies.

[jadhav]

I don't measure the SL in pips rather I try to put SL on support and resistance basis. For a long positions just below support and for a short position just above resistance level.

[nikam]

I do not agree with you,
I think SL should be set since the beginning of the analysis, since the beginning of open positions.
so we do not need to be confused when the price floting loss.
because if not, cut loss will be strongly influenced by the opinion.

[nikam]

apparently you have not used the script.
because if the server is busy, the script still experiencing requotes.
script only shorten our steps to open or close a position.

[shidadon]

ya market ki situation or trade ki nature per depend karta hai.ap jaisa trade kar open rahay has sl bi usi k hasab sa hona cahiyay.agar ap scalping maens short trade open kar rahay hai.tu sl 2o pips kafi hai.lakin agar ap long trade open kar rahay hai tu 100 pips is best sl.

[furiya]

yup i agree with you,
apparently you are a master trader, because I know who use it the way it usually is an expert.
because in this way, we will know how much risk and how many rewards from a position that we install.

[jadhav]

difficult does not mean itdak can, we just need to learn, practice and get used to using it.
never tired to learn, I 'm sure someday we certainly can.
and in this way, much used by the master trader.

[furiya]

i can't tell you how many pips for it, all depends the condition and if we think that we have to increase, so why not...sometimes i did not use SL too..when i know the chart will move back, but we have to be careful for this conditions
50 pips as SL is standard and i make 2 : 1 with TP

[furiya]

you are right, when we use stop loss at our trading, so we have to know the condition and make analysis for our margin and condition of the trend, if you think that the trend will move back soon so you can take stop loss is not too bigger...
but some people said that SL 100 pips it can be 90 % success, i do not know about it, because i seldom use stop loss
i recommended you to use trailing stop too or lock profit so when you are in positive pips and suddenly the chart move back against your order, so will not loss some pips or you just still get profit for some

[furiya]

agree with you this is one of money management
we should set it as the condition and also is right if SL is touched or we just increase it to give a chances the trend move back again,sometimes, when our SL is touched the trend move back again and this is very bad...so let we see until we can take a decision for SL

[jadhav]

Stop Loss is a very good way of preventing our account getting huge loss during the trade. We all know that forex is very risky. If we don't take necessary measures, we will sure lose all our money.
So setting stop loss just helps us to solve that problem. But to be able to set perfect SL, we need perfect forex education and that depends upon the amount of money that we are going to invest.

[nikam]

from my point of view i think 50 pipes are mainly and acceptable for a SL.
i think SL is a way to minimize u r loss.
market is unmeasurable so SL is the way by which we can minimize our loss and save from high loss.
i think 50 pipes are good.

It is depend on the traders, all depend on how much you afford to lose.I think 25 to 30 pips is good for SL and 30 and above pips profit is good for profit.

[shinde]

i have never set my sl for 100pips yet coz i never have trust the trend, i normally set it at 20 pips but if conditions are looking easy then i might set it too 50 at the maximum but never 100!

[nirale]

i will say 50 pips fpr sl and also 50 pip's for tp also, sl is very important to stop losses when we are profiting, but the pip's may vary according to differnt traders who have a different way to approach it

[barmanitrade]

Many newbies ask me how many pips is safe for stop loss? I think its all depend on how much you afford to lose and we have to put stop loss by checking resistance and support levels, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

wese to main kabhi bhi stop loss ki strategy nahi ki ha kioun k mugh ko pata ha k main abhi forex trading main new houn or market ko sahi taran se watch karna nahi janta houn esi liye main stop loss use nahi karta main open trading karta houn yeni k manual trading

[fxTrader]

in my personal opinion that 40 pips is very enough number of pips for stop loss for avoiding you from getting a big loss and in the same time it may let you free in your traiding and get more profit without any restrictions .

[shinde]

Scalping involves short term trades and it involves performing many trades that need to be closed in short time.It is done for profit of 5 - 7 pips so i think even if you trade in 1:1 ration then you should put SL of 5 pips

[shinde]

I think it depends jgua current market, it also depends on money management such as the risk that you can receive, etc. .. probably around 30-40 pips.

[shinde]

Yeah u r right ..its all depend on situation....but usually i put stop loss on basis of pivot point,....due to accuracy and scientific base i can trust pivot point....

[lax]

scalping is short term trading..and scalping dont need much analysis so SL is needed to be set,,,and i usually trade scalping style and i set 15-25 pip in every trade....

[shinde]

yes,you are right.SL should be decided with Support or resistance and they act as good one to determine.Even pivot points are also good in determining.so one can put SL based on this or specified values like ratio of TP :SL as 2:1 like that.It depends on traders need.

[lax]

yes we can use support or resistance for stop loss or even SAR also.
mostly i will use pivot lines for determining the Stop loss and Profit levels. they are really useful.

[lax]

well it depends upon the need.But always its not wise to have like this TP=SL.
For beginners i recommend 2:1 ratio.
if TP is 100pips have SL as 50pips.So that if you lose a trade also,atleast the last trade's half profit will remain.

[lax]

Yes.SL input depends upon the type of trading too.The ratio i told is for normal swing traders.
But For Scalping i always feel that one should never provide SL since there are lot of chances to get SL triggered since its a very small value.

[shinde]

It is more important to you that you have to place the stop loss at appropriate level so that you can not get hit the stop loss immediately and you may get profit from that trade. Just go for the charts and get the major support and resistance levels at that place you can place the stop loss.

[lax]

Yes it is quite good to make decision to place the stop loss before entering the position so that you will not have to go through any loss from that position. Stop loss must be placed at strong resistance if the position i sell and at support if the position is buy.

[lax]

It is depend of the support and resistance level that where we have to place the stop loss. But my point of view it is always better to analyse the risk reward ration before trade and place the trade according to that.

[lax]

Yes it is. According to the situation, we have to decide whether how much pips we have to place for stop loss. If the market is very volatile then predict the trend and place order with more pips. so that your stop loss will not triggered instantly.

[lax]

Stop loss may be place according to the leverage and volume used by you. as said by friend you have to determine first how much amount you want to keep for risk. Then according to that amount calculate the pip value and place a stop loss.

[muhammadatif]

Stop loss depends on your capital if you have large capital then large stop loss if small capital then small capital. I set my stop loss 2% of my total capital because I don�t want to lose big money from my capital.

[forexprophet]

Stop loss can be varied for different positions you are taking. Before setting your stop loss blindly to some predetermined pips or some % from your capital, check if that area has any resistance or support and there is a possibility of price stalling in that area before continuing its previous trend direction.

[scalp3r]

I usually put SL few pips below the support line in case of a long position and few pips above the resistance line in case of a short position so that if the support or resistance is broken in that case my selected SL may keep my account safe.
You are very correct, normally, we should place the stoploss at resistance and support levels, then calculate how much pips we will risk, then calculate how much we can trade.

[sabbir20]

I think,Yeahare not right what you saying that you shut down the losses depending on mounted for all tradersit loss will better to close if you users stopped loss in the stop the loss if the unions can not the low and a vice versa

[venkiaries61]

1.There is some ratio which you can follow according to your analysis. If you put take profit 20 pips, then set stop loss 20/30 pips. This is not suitable in all market conditions.
2.According to support and resistance. Make some analysis and place stop loss according to sup. and res. This is really good to calculate stop loss.

[forexman]

i think for me 20pips is safe for me but i dont know about others and it totally depend on lotsize trade and how much risk you wanna take in trading but i did not use stoploss much upto now but wanna use it in my future trading

[Ronak]

i think for me 20pips is safe for me but i dont know about others and it totally depend on lotsize trade and how much risk you wanna take in trading but i did not use stoploss much upto now but wanna use it in my future trading

i think its all based on the our strategy...we shud select pips based on our technical analysis and the our take profit position...so its safe to our account balance

[sinjiku]

i think for me 20pips is safe for me but i dont know about others and it totally depend on lotsize trade and how much risk you wanna take in trading but i did not use stoploss much upto now but wanna use it in my future trading

if 20 pips by using the full lot better you should be careful because your margin may not be mampuh hold floating and can be exposed to mc. but I guess if your analysis is true maybe you should not trade too long to pursue profit

[unamed]

I think it's depend on their system that their use.
because some systems require to wear a different SL.

[maliknas]

Stop loss should be based on our strategy and it should be put on the basis of support and resistance of the pair. I think we should put stop loss beyond our support and resistance values so that it could not be hit easily.

[sangam]

yeh bhai aap ney bohot acha tareeka betaya hey, new trader ko is sey support and resistance ki importance peta chelay gi. ek or tareeka yeh bhi hey k chhotay time frame mein jab candle support ya resistance sey neechay ya uper close ho then trade is over.

Any trader who is trading has to know about the support and resistance and then only he would be able to get a true timings in the orders that he makes. This will also give him more room for making the profits as currencies have an automated backlog of orders that are executed at the support and resistance points.

[Warrior]

Jab me scalping karta hu tu mera stop loss 30 pips k as pas hota hai aur I think yeh safe bhi hota hai ap ki trades k lyey aur ap ko bachata hai agar market achanak se jhatka mare. Is k ilawa day trading may 50 pips se 80 pips tak ka stop thek rehta hai jab k swing trades me 100 k karib ya phr us se thora ziada.Currency pairs jinhe ap trade kar rahe ho, yeh un ki volatility par bhi depend karta hai.

scalping walo ke liye stop loss aur take profit set karna bahut hi zaruri hota hai kyunki wo log bahut hi kam pip difference ke liye trade karte hai

how many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

Many newbies ask me how many pips is safe for stop loss? I think its all depend on how much you afford to lose and we have to put stop loss by checking resistance and support levels, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

Share your views...
Yes, i agree with this. The stop loss should be used by newbies. And the place where stop loss is placed is according to your analysis. For example, if you hope the market will move 20pips high. You should enter in correct entry. Then, if you feel the market cross some point and will reach reversal, then place stop loss in that point.

[atif58]

To set stop loss do not put it by numbering and that can can afford or not. It should be placed on that point where you think if market break this point then it will change his trend and will move against you. That is the right place of putting SL. And if it is not affordable then do not trade for this time and wait for appropriate position.

[sinjiku]

I would say from 50 to 100pips,reason being when you lose small amount,you dont get to have a losing mentality. Its not having a great mind. 50pips is not much. It also gives your trading open trades breathing space.

I think with good mm and 50 pips accurate nyang system is in fact not a problem. Should we kerjar 50 pips on one pair alone because if the pair might use a lot of risk is greater, if not supported by a strong margin resilience

[yogesh]

Not appropriate to set the target in pips rather we should let our profit grow until we see a reversal signal and if we notice reversal there is no queston of letting the trade open even if we are not getting the pips we have set the target for.

[anubhavsingh]

stop loses depend on how much you have used to trade the market. Isr easier. When you are trading in forex market you should make a good money management strategy. Its when you are managing your trades well then you have a look on your stop losses. Like if you are using 20percent of your money in your account. Its the way you have used your money that dictates how to place a stop loss. I usually use 70-100 stop loss. It works for me.

isse acha agar aap amrket ka support resistence ke hisab se stop loss laagyenge to apke liye zada faydemand saabit hoga
me to hamesha issi hisab se stop loss lagata hon aur isse muje bahut fayda bhi hota jai..money management kab haut zaruri hissa hota hai stop loss lagana

[adahidayat]

SL depends on your capital and also on that how much positions and also on size of lot ...and also you should think that how much you can afford to loose ...so if you are opening a small lots and not too many positions, then you can afford to apply SL at 50 pips ...but if you are opening a bigger lot, then you need to apply SL at 30 pips , so that you can reduce your losses...so applying SL is very important at proper place....

[Mr. Tukul]

not only determine how many pips the right to determine the stop loss, but more importantly is to place a stop loss at what price ...
if we could put a stop loss at the point of support of course it would be better, because it can minimize our losses ...

[yogesh]

Ye kehna sahi nahi hoga ki fala fala **** stop loss rakhne se safe rahega, yeh situation par nirbhar karta hai
hame chart study kar support or resistance ke anusar trading karni chahiye buy ke case me stop loss support ke thoda neeche rakhna chahiye.

[shinde]

The number of **** can't be fixed for any trade. It totally depends on your style of trading and your capital, your limit to handle loss. If you are a scalper with minimum deposit then you must set a tight stop loss and if you are a swing trader with big deposit then you can afford to have a big stop loss. But the question you had asked can't be answered with a fixed number of ****.

[shinde]

Ideally we have to set the stop loss at 30 **** and anything more than that is not advisable at all. This is because if we are going into a loss of 30 **** then it clearly means that the trade is totally wrong and we need to revise our study and again make the trade with the correct market sentiments

In the event of the Hedging we can go for a stop loss = 50 **** since we are not sure which way the market will go and that is the range which actually decides the movements.

no we cant tell any values for SL unless we know the type of trader.
for a scalper no SL is required as it might get triggered easily than TP.

[seahawks90]

i think it all depends upon the trader and its all depends upon his investment and capability of loosing money because if you have good investment and you are sure that by going this much of down your currency will surely go up then you can take the risk but in case you don't have good investment then there is no need to go for it.

[fxquest]

I dont consider it appropriate to fix that we should have stop loss at that many ****, but we should find out a level which we fill is difficult to hit so that there are lessor chances of our trade running into stop loss and chances to book profit remain more.

[mohit]

i think using stop loss in your trading is the good idea but you have to learn how to set the stop loss , because if you fail to set the proper stop loss then you will no be able to get success in your method you are using for trading the forex

[anubhavsingh]

yes stop loss i depends on some individual way. stop loss is depend on your capital. how you calculate your loss. It is vary good to set your stop loss. It can help you many time to loss big money.

me is bat se agree nahi karta ki stop loss equity pe depend karta hai
mere hisab se stop los market ki condition pe depend karta hai aur us pair ki technical studies pe depend karta hai
agar aapne koi bhi pari buy kiya ho to aapko uska stop loss uske resistance ke hisab se set karna chahaiye .. apne man se ya equity se koi bhi value set kar dene se aapka money management me gadbad ho sakti hai

[dmambi]

Stop loss setting depends on lot of things, and equity available in account and is also one of the factor in that apart from support and resistance points, strategy used and the market conditions.

[bestlooser]

friend in my view putting stop loss on base bollinger band is not good idea.
if any one using long time frame like day or weekly than stop loss is more than 600-700 ****. this so high number of ****. in upper or lower we can see many support and resistance we can put stop loss withing this range.
agar aap 3-4 saal ka dekho to eurusd mein taqreeban 4000 **** tak movement ho hui in this long term and I think for longer term we may easily get good results if we are going for 500 to 1000 **** but nothing is fixed and forex keep on changing and trends keep on changing so you have to adjust yourself in all kinds of situations.

[prem]

stop loss depends on various conditions...it depend on individuals study,his account balance his experience etc...so we can not generalize the exact for setting for stop loss i depends on situation to trade.we use stop loss and take profit for each orders.

[kastur]

ya proper analysis and money management is very essential for setting proper stop loss.Stop loss is very important for long term trading so long term trader should be expert in setting stop loss

[nanda]

ya its depend on the market situation and the type of trader if you are scalper then there is no need of stop loss if you are long term tradee then it is essential to use stop loss

[manoj]

agr aap scalper hain to phir to aap ka stop loss kafi small ho ga, balkay aksar scalpers to stop loss ko use hi nae kertay. phir agr app day trader hain to phir aap nearest support ya resistance level per apna stop loss rakhian. or agar aap swing trader hain to phir start ya end of trend per apna stop loss select karaingay.

[nanda]

yeah did exactly what you are saying that the placement of stop loss all depends on the traders but to stop loss will good if using a stop loss if the union of the stop loss can be low and vice versa

[nanda]

the lower the risk of trades that you use I think this will impact both the emotional trade you do even though you will fare a little profit but it is good for your defense in this business

[kastur]

if you do the placement of the SL 50 **** I think if you are a daily trader then when the price moves above 50 **** then it can be sure you're wrong in doing the analysis

[nanda]

it would be better to put the SL is higher than TP that we put that name because after the price will be making our first float because of the payment minus a spread, and this requires us to position the SL is greater than our short-TP

[sid]

yup i agree with you,
apparently you are a master trader, because I know who use it the way it usually is an expert.
because in this way, we will know how much risk and how many rewards from a position that we install.

[borle]

difficult does not mean itdak can, we just need to learn, practice and get used to using it.
never tired to learn, I 'm sure someday we certainly can.
and in this way, much used by the master trader.

[borle]

i think its all based on the our strategy...we shud select **** based on our technical analysis and the our take profit position...so its safe to our account balance

[borle]

Yeah u r right ..its all depend on situation....but usually i put stop loss on basis of pivot point,....due to accuracy and scientific base i can trust pivot point....

[sid]

scalping is short term trading..and scalping dont need much analysis so SL is needed to be set,,,and i usually trade scalping style and i set 15-25 pip in every trade....

[naik]

In my accounts and trading in general, i will finally like to risk just 50 ****. Then i also try to make high targets like 100 ****. This is a good idea for our trades, it will help us to be confident and also less fear will be in us.

[issamlitim]

stop loss is according to your starategy and also accordin g to your money management and the time frame that you use for me i prefer from 20 pip to 30 pip as a stop loss.

[mohit]

stop loss is according to your starategy and also accordin g to your money management and the time frame that you use for me i prefer from 20 pip to 30 pip as a stop loss.

[anubhavsingh]

I agree with 30 **** ...
better set a stop loss 30 **** in a support ...
because sometimes broke support at a moment, but then prices rebound again ...

mere khaya lse agar aapko stop lsos lagana hai to apko sabse pehle market ke support aur resistance ka pata hona chahaiye
ye values paat hone ke baad aapko kamn se kam 15-20 **** ka margin rakh ke stop loss set karna chahiye..asia karen se apka account me kabhi bhi margin call nahi lagegi aur aapko trading em bhi bahut amza aayega

[sonia]

how many **** will be good for stop loss depends on market condition mainly. if you are volatility condition, stop loss should be 60 **** and if you are in n volatility condition 30 **** is good.happy trading

Many newbies ask me how many **** is safe for stop loss? I think its all depend on how much you afford to lose and we have to put stop loss by checking resistance and support levels, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

it depends to the situation and we can not make it as a permanent choice but there are many way to get the price to put the stop loss with good, we can use the upper or bottom of range/chart or use the price from candlestick:)

[s19]

10 pips is a tight and a safe SL because then you get out of a bad trade very quickly, the idea in forex is to enter a trade on a strong trend or not to bother at all and if it hits the SL it was never a good trade. Of 100 trades I take around 9 hit the SL
i am not agree with you that 10pips is good point of stop loss.
our stop loss is not less than 50pips and its best if we use support and resistance for stop loss.
it is also depend on our trading style. in scalping trading there is no need to set stop loss because we can see 10-15pips movement on both side.

[adil.iub]

i depend on different condition , but i think that i use is 50pip, actually it depend s on volume, ammount of money laverage ect so in diferent time didferent decition shoud take

[zaloo]

in my opinion 40 pips is very suitabe for your stop loss , this amount of pips may avoid you from getting big loss also you it helps you to control your trade and it doesn't prevent you from getting profit .

[alam]

I think it also depends on each trader such as tolerance loss against the management of money, depending on the market at that time, maybe 35 points stop loss would be fitting.
good luck .

[mini]

i think that the safe point for stop loss is the nearest point and this is according to entery point if you wanna make stop loss 50 pip wait for the 30 pip to pass and make it 20pip.

[dmambi]

There is not safe point to set the stop loss, what we should do is stop loss setting should be depending on the risk we are able to take based on the money available in our account and nearest support, resistance points on our charts.

[sohelforex]

For safe trading 50 pips seem to be sound but it depends on your category of business and knowledge. After all, experienced persons win at the end of a race
Good luck.

[ishvara]

yes friend you are absolutely right..
stop loss depends on various conditions...it depend on individual,s study, his account balance, his experience etc..
so we can not generalize the exact pips for setting stop loss..it depends on situation to situation and trader to trader

yes, i agree with you on this. The amount of pips that we should use in our trading has to deal with many factors and also our trading account balance, our knowledge and our risk reward ratio..

[pooja]

I usually put SL few pips below the support line in case of a long position and few pips above the resistance line in case of a short position so that if the support or resistance is broken in that case my selected SL may keep my account safe.

[mhiblaa]

for me i always open my deal with the order of the take profit by 40 points and sotop loss 20 i dont care to what hapen till the effect of some order the take profit or the stop loss well i have choose always the good point of enter i think that it is the half of the success deal

[arihant]

i cannot say thats right or wrong before i knew your TP, so, what is your TP ? i think its good as long as your TP is bigger than the SL, or at least you have the same SL and TP

[arihant]

i that will be very risk brother, what will happened if your internet connection is down ? or your computer suddenly hang ? if i were you just set the SL at the point you cant tolerate any more loses

[arihant]

yes, what i meant above is my SL for daily trading, but for scalping i will certainly put it tighter than that, and i use a minimum of 1:1 risk to reward ratio, i never set lower than that cause it will easily blow your account

[maryosa]

Stop loss is important to use in trade and the setting is depend on trader. Different trader, different setting of stop loss. I set on my trade stop loss of 150 pips because I trade swing trading. I leave trade for a long time so I need plenty of pips for my trade. Sometimes I set stop loss of 200 pips.

[shinde]

main pichle 1 mhine se forex main scalping trading kar raha hu or main kisi bi trading main stop loss ka use ni karta hau.
lekin main trade usi wakt karta hu jab mere pass meri strategy ke hisaab se singnal hota hai.
mera take profit bi 4-5 pips hi hota hai jo easily achive ho jaata hai.

[arihant]

ye baat to sahi hai ki ham stop loss trading karne waale time frame ke hisab se set karna chahiye but ye sahi ni hai ki ham previous candle ke low or high ke hisaab se stop loss lagaye.
hame stop loss support or resistance level k hisaab se set karna chahiye.

[arihant]

stop loss to support or resistance par hona chahiye. likin ye to trader ki trade karne ke traike par bi nirbhar karta hai.
jab main long term trade open karta hu to sl support or resistance par rakhta hu. lekin scalping trading main to main stop loss rakhta hi ni hu.

[nilesh]

25 to 30 pips are safe for stop loss if you set it on more value then it give you more loss therefore you must watch the market and then place your order other wise you go in loss

[alam]

Well, that is a bad experience, and I have had that experience myself too. It is much better to use a SL and TP and then hope that the trade will hit your TP. If your internet connection goes off sometimes, then a trailing stop might not be of much use to you.

[arihant]

every trader set the stop loss according to its own method and strategy and also setting stop loss is alos depend on the amount of capital present in yor account for trading

[pooja]

gree with you this is one of money management
we should set it as the condition and also is right if SL is touched or we just increase it to give a chances the trend move back again,sometimes, when our SL is touched the trend move back again and this is very bad...so let we see until we can take a decision for SL

[nilesh]

To set stop loss do not put it by numbering and that can can afford or not. It should be placed on that point where you think if market break this point then it will change his trend and will move against you. That is the right place of putting SL. And if it is not affordable then do not trade for this time and wait for appropriate position.

I always make a stop loss and take profit by 50 pips due to longterm trading ..
always run a disciplined trading rule would make the trader can be successful in this business

[ashwini]

stop loss kitna main denge yeh to market condition par depend karta hain.. aur mainly hum kiss jagah entry kar rahe hain.. jaise agar app break out main entry kar rahain hain.. to 35 stoploss bhi kafi hain,, lekin galat jagah entry karne se 100pips ka stop loss bhi kam padta hain..

[shinde]

It is depend of the support and resistance level that where we have to place the stop loss. But my point of view it is always better to analyse the risk reward ration before trade and place the trade according to that.

[arihant]

It is more important to you that you have to place the stop loss at appropriate level so that you can not get hit the stop loss immediately and you may get profit from that trade. Just go for the charts and get the major support and resistance levels at that place you can place the stop loss.

[shinde]

Yes it is quite good to make decision to place the stop loss before entering the position so that you will not have to go through any loss from that position. Stop loss must be placed at strong resistance if the position i sell and at support if the position is buy

[kuldeep]

as my opinion 50 pipes is enough for for sl because stop loss depends on various conditions for me soemtime i select 30 pips and sometime also 50 pips and it depend on market conidition if condition not so good then it is better to us to just wait and watch nothin do anything

[nilesh]

Stop loss may depend on the volume you trading. if large volume trade then i use 20 pips stop loss. If the volume is small 0.1 then stop loss moved to 60 pips. stop loss is one of the most important thing which we have to remember while placing a trade.

[ishvara]

There is no exact rule to determine how many pips which is good for all conditions. It will depend on condition and our style of trading (short-term trading, daily trading or long-term trading) because each trader will be different. And about ratio, I prefer to set SL point in higher than TP because SL is limit which describe that we made mistakes in analysis. If our SL is hit several times, it means our analysis is not good enough

There is no such exact rules about forex trading targets. This now means that forex trading must be done by using the traders beliefs and trading ability. Any amount of pips can be set in any trade by the trader involved.

for me i think that the best point for th stop loss is to put it small with 60%-70% of the take profite i mean if we have make 50 point for the take profit so the stop loss will be placed with 30-35 points well i think that when you profit tow times soo you will lost four time to lost all the profit

[forexprophet]

There is no perfect predetermined stop loss as far as forex is concerned. It changes for every position. It is always better to give enough room for the market to move and setting up tight stop loss does not mean that you are following a right money manaegment system. It always better to spot the support and resistance level before setting the stop loss and take profit.

[rajabd]

Stop loss carry on trade time, If I trade 30 minutes I should take stop loss 40 pips and take profit 15-20 pips . One day trade stop loss will 150 pips and take profit 70-80 pips.

[sithara]

well i think it depends on your capital and your trading plan.You can decide it by calculating how much risk you can loose. You can use some technical indicators too.For example You can use Fibonacci retracement levels.

[tomiko]

Many newbies ask me how many pips is safe for stop loss? I think its all depend on how much you afford to lose and we have to put stop loss by checking resistance and support levels, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

Share your views...
IMO, pips for SL depends on what your trading style
scalping: 10-20 pips
daily: 30-50 pips
swing: 100-150 pips

the pip that is safe for stop loss is according to your take profit and according to your money management and strategies i prefer to use the same take profit as stop loss or make take profit more .

[dog]

Yes stop lose and take profit is depend on market condition. But if you have enough balance then you can set your stop lose with big pips. I think you should set stop lose and take profit with support and resistance levels. I also set my stop lose and take profit with support and resistance levels.
yeah i agree with you the position of stop loss depends upon the market condition.position of stop loss is very important than placing it.it also depends upon the volume of your trading

[rajabd]

Forex master says that adjust stop loss and take profit due to if market will go your opposite so you can not recover that. small loss is better than big loss. Also you have some profit but market isgoing opposite to you then quickly you can not close , because server will busy .

[ashwini]

yes that right if u see the market is going to change and its move against ur order than u will be exit from that order.but in my knowledge always use stop loss and take profit ..so if market is favour u that time u can edit the tp..so u gan more profit. or use the trailing stop to more comfortable..but here in india .power problem is very danger so we use fixed tp and sl..for avoid..the tension.

[azharfx]

Mai daily trader ho aur me 30pips ka stop loss lagata ho meray hisab se ye bhot acha he lakin jub me Gold me trade karta ho to stop loss use nahi karta kiyun k Gold bhot up ya bhot down ho jata he 10000pips tak

[xiaotanghao]

When I am new in forex,I do not know how many pips to set in forex,so I just set 30 pips for SL.But after several loss in forex,I came to look for hel from the professional trader.Sometimes I may copy their orders.

[pooja]

yup i agree with you,
apparently you are a master trader, because I know who use it the way it usually is an expert.
because in this way, we will know how much risk and how many rewards from a position that we install.

[ahmedlinkers]

I think That depends on the market situation to have a SL. In some cases it requires 20 and in other cases it can be 50 pips. Just look at the movement and then decide the point.

[kitt]

if you trade as a day trader, 30 pips will enough to be consider as a safe stop loss. but if you are a longterm trader, that kind of amount will surely kill your account soon enough. so the point is, the stop loss must depend on your strategy.
yes my friend this is right i agree what you saying 30 pip is safe for short term deals ,we are using stop loss because we know that there is a prospect of loss or wrong analysis stop loss must be the point that you think the price will go against you.

[wazid201118]

According to my thinking trade should be stopped when i have lost more than 50 pips.If i don't stop it in 50 pips i may see the increasing lose in my trade.So how long i will wait for profit i can keep myself able for the next trade.

[rajabd]

Stop loss is very important for mini investor or big investor. If market is opposite , so any one may loss his /her full invest. So if any one wants to set take profit is 50 pips, so he/she should set stop loss 100 pips.

[arihant]

yes,you are right.SL should be decided with Support or resistance and they act as good one to determine.Even pivot points are also good in determining.so one can put SL based on this or specified values like ratio of TP :SL as 2:1 like that.It depends on traders need.

[anangok]

absolutely right in your opinion, we must adjust our margins available. because installing SL very necessary to anticipate the mistakes that we do, do not get sloppy and careless when it entered the market.

[shinde]

yes, for me many times power went off and i was not able to get connected.And finally when the power came i opened the terminal and i had got MC and my account was destroyed.

[rajabd]

According to my knowledge it should be greater than TP pips, But most of times i don't use Stop loss if we are trading with H1 then its better to have STop loss around 50 pips for H4 we should increase it.

You should not do that. Because H1 trade may up or down 100-150 pips in an hour, so how can set 50 pips in an hour. And you told you do not use stop loss . if market will go opposite you continue, then what will you do ?

[nilesh]

1.There is some ratio which you can follow according to your analysis. If you put take profit 20 pips, then set stop loss 20/30 pips. This is not suitable in all market conditions.
2.According to support and resistance. Make some analysis and place stop loss according to sup. and res. This is really good to calculate stop loss.

[nilesh]

Stop loss is very important on your trades, if you are newbies. Most experienced traders hesitate to use Stoploss. They analyze well and place the position, they also wait for a long time to achieve the target. This is suitable for me. let us discuss.

[nilesh]

Yes, its very hard to recover, if set 1:2 ratio for take profit and stop loss. Its better to put take profit and wait for the target. Its similar to long term trades.
Try to analyze well for the entry point and exit point.

[Gab]

I do not have a exact number of pips to take profit neither stop loss I only have a ratio for this if you take profit by 1 you should put the stop loss is 1 or 1.5 so you will have best chance to get profit! However it is really risk because when you get lose you will lose more than you earn! So try to win more than lose!

[vikas]

i have never set my sl for 100pips yet coz i never have trust the trend, i normally set it at 20 pips but if conditions are looking easy then i might set it too 50 at the maximum but never 100!

[vikas]

i will say 50 pips fpr sl and also 50 pip's for tp also, sl is very important to stop losses when we are profiting, but the pip's may vary according to differnt traders who have a different way to approach it

[vikas]

My dear brother I don�t know about this option because I am new trader and I don�t use stop loss option I prefer short term trading and when my trade gives me some profit I close my trade immediately because some profit is better from loss.

[vikas]

हाँ, यह है. स्थिति के अनुसार, हम चाहे कितना pips हम रोक नुकसान के लिए जगह तय की है. अगर बाजार बहुत अस्थिर है तो और अधिक pips के साथ जगह आदेश की प्रवृत्ति भविष्यवाणी. तुरन्त इतना है कि अपने बंद नुकसान ट्रिगर नहीं करेगा.

[vikas]

रोक नुकसान जगह लाभ उठाने और आपके द्वारा उपयोग की मात्रा के अनुसार किया जा सकता है. मित्र के रूप में द्वारा कहा कि आप पहले निर्धारित कितना राशि है जो आप के लिए जोखिम के लिए रखना चाहते हैं. फिर उस राशि के लिए अनुसार रंज मूल्य की गणना है और एक बंद नुकसान जगह.

[MasterShinbei]

what you say is true but I think 200 pips for stop loss is too much as it would be huge loss if market does not turn on your side. Once I lost upto 200 pips on gbpusd sell and I had to close it at loss. After one week price came down to my sell level. 25 to 50 pips is enough in my opinion.

Yes 200 pips are too difficult to achieve. You achievable target. I agree with prawinkurdeg that 25 pips untul 50 pips is enough to be set as our daily pips target. Set to high target make us frustrated if we can not reach it

[deep thought]

I think 20 pips per day is a reasonable target

[niteshforex]

agr aap scalper hain to phir to aap ka stop loss kafi small ho ga, balkay aksar scalpers to stop loss ko use hi nae kertay. phir agr app day trader hain to phir aap nearest support ya resistance level per apna stop loss rakhian. or agar aap swing trader hain to phir start ya end of trend per apna stop loss select karaingay.

[vikas]

यह समर्थन और प्रतिरोध स्तर है कि हम कहाँ रोक नुकसान जगह है निर्भर है. लेकिन देखने की मेरी बात यह हमेशा बेहतर करने के लिए व्यापार से पहले जोखिम इनाम राशन विश्लेषण और व्यापार के अनुसार जगह.

[vikas]

हाँ, यह काफी अच्छा है करने के स्थिति में प्रवेश से पहले इतना है कि आप उस स्थिति से किसी भी हानि के माध्यम से जाना नहीं होगा रोक नुकसान जगह करने का निर्णय करते हैं. बंद करो हानि की स्थिति मैं बेचने अगर मजबूत प्रतिरोध और समर्थन पर रखा जाना चाहिए अगर स्थिति खरीदने के लिए है.

[niteshforex]

Well, that is a bad experience, and I have had that experience myself too. It is much better to use a SL and TP and then hope that the trade will hit your TP. If your internet connection goes off sometimes, then a trailing stop might not be of much use to you.

[vikas]

फिर अपने सभी व्यापारी पर निर्भर करता है जहां वह रोक नुकसान सेट और लाभ ले करना चाहते हैं. यदि वह उचित बंद नुकसान सेट और लाभ ले करने में सक्षम है तो यह उसके लिए फायदेमंद हो सकता है

[vikas]

फिर बाजार की स्थिति और व्यापारी के प्रकार पर निर्भर करता है अगर आप scalper हैं तो वहाँ रोक नुकसान की कोई जरूरत नहीं है अगर आप लंबे समय tradee हैं तो यह रोक नुकसान का उपयोग करने के लिए आवश्यक है

Share your views...

your stop loss should depend on your risk appetite considering the lot size you are using, if your lot size is higher then your stop loss should be tight, but if the lot size is tiny you can go for a wider stop loss

[niteshforex]

Stop loss may be place according to the leverage and volume used by you. as said by friend you have to determine first how much amount you want to keep for risk. Then according to that amount calculate the pip value and place a stop loss.

[niteshforex]

Yes it is. According to the situation, we have to decide whether how much pips we have to place for stop loss. If the market is very volatile then predict the trend and place order with more pips. so that your stop loss will not triggered instantly.

[raka999]

It is depend of the support and resistance level that where we have to place the stop loss. But my point of view it is always better to analyse the risk reward ration before trade and place the trade according to that.
yes, support and resistance is the perfect place to set the SL. so, to set the SL, not depending on the size of the pips. we should not be too rigid in placing SL. I always set the SL at the nearest of support and resistant.

[Thakur]

Number of pips for stop loss can vary depending on the trader. For a day trader he should use between 50 pips and 70 pips for stop loss. This will just make sure that the tp is always getting hit rather than the sl.

[riskfx2012]

Stop-loss is essential to make use of in trade and also the setting is rely on trader. Different trader, different setting of stop-loss. I set on my small trade stop-loss of 150 pips because I trade swing buying and selling. I leave trade for any very long time and so i need lots of pips for my trade. Sometimes I set stop-loss of 200 pips.

[clickme]

It depends on what market movements you are trading, if you are in flat market you can set stop loss just 20pips, or you are in a breakout position then you stop loss can be seated 50pips , so it differ in different in different trading situation.

[raka999]

I am not agree with your opinion. We should not judge the SL in pips, we must apply our stop loss according to support and resistance levels or according to fib levels. To judge TP and SL in pips is wrong.
every trader must have their own plans. some prefer to use SL fix, but there are some who like based on support and resistant. I prefer to use SL fix, because we can know for sure how the loss / profit today.

[TrojanFX]

If you use stop loss then it is impossible your account could experience Margin Call because the order will hit Stop Loss first so there is no other losses. Stop Loss is used to prevent Margin Call if you don't change it oftenly. Placing Stop Loss will depend on open position too, if me I will set SL in range about 30-40 pips from open position.
