How many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

[sayem]

I think its depend on your balance or capital. also depend on your trading strategy and plan. if you trade long term then 200 pips maybe safe or more. but on short term trade 100 pipes is very big for set stop loss.

[scorpian7]

You cant make a standard TP and SL pips beforehand. Since all depend on two factors : the first one is market situation and the second one is Currency pairs itself .

[kutuk]

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 actually a good idea to use to avoid huge losses but SL also sometimes backfire, we use the SL and when prices are already touching the SL movement back then that makes us regret. I have done so far was when I kept playing and stayed in front of the computer so I do not put SL anmun when I lived for a long time so I put SL

The number of pips depends on the traders trading style that they are applying in their trades. Scalpers set no sl, day traders set about 50 pips sl and the long term traders set hundreds of pips as sl in their trades.

[dlesar]

i think 100 pip or 200 pip is safe for stop loss because the market price move up and move down for all the time and we can make good profit before tha price hit stop loss for the first time.

[optimistdev]

It is depend of the support and resistance level that where we have to place the stop loss. Stop loss may be place according to the leverage and volume used by you. Proper analysis and money management is very essential for setting proper stop loss.

[bhai]

50 pip is too large distance between open trading point and stop loss point and it take a lot of time to make another deal i think that 25 is more than enough for stop loss .

[yaar]

the lower the profit we make the target I have confidence that it will get better in our of commerce so that way we will have the opportunity to make better of commerce and we also do not have the risk of major trade

[yaar]

I think it is fitting for us to put our stop loss in of commerce with stop loss 40 pips if we are on target 20 pips as this will make you not easy to hit your stop loss a pair, but of course you also need an accurate analysis

[Ramnit]

You can set based on the money you're willing to lose, example you are willing to lose $2. So $2 divided by the quantity (example 0.1) = 20. If you have gained some pips, you can set your SL in +pips.

[samir]

me hamehsa scalping hi karta hon..aur scalping ke hisab se me hamehsa apna stop loss 25-30 pips ke aas paas rakhta hon
kayi baar me technicals ko study karke bhi apna sl set karta hon lekin jab mujhe support aur resistance ka thik se andaza nahi lagta tab me 25 pips ka stop loss set kar deta hon
jab mujeh support aur resistance smajh me aate hai tab ussi ke hisab se stop loss lagata hon

[herono1]

its depend on the trader that how many pips they want to be choose for stop loss, but its very important for the for trading to save the capital and stay for long time in trading.

[tiar]

in my experience, at least SL = TP, so the risk and profit is directly proportional. but sometimes I use TP SL = 2, but often the SL touched first. SL should not exceed the TP, because it would be very risky

[insta1988]

kiyny pips ka stop loss hona chahiye main nay kabhi b nahi socha main bas kuch points k baad stop loss laga deta hn waisay stop loss hum par depends karta hai k hum kitna loss bardasht kar sakty hain waisay main ziada tar 20 points ka stop loss lagata hn jo meray hisaab say theek hi rehta hai.

[Ahmed_Gawiesh]

I think better to install the SL between 30-50 pips.

[bjbh427]

I think that 30 pips is fine to set the stop loss.
but it varies from day to day and varies from Pair to pair.
But what i reccomend is on average it is 30 pips for overall trades.

[tiar]

i am a short term trader i usually closes my all positions in a day it means that i am a day trader and i think for a day trader we must set at least 25 pips as a stoploss.

the use of stop loss depending on the strategy that we use and depend on what we are trading session. European and American session requires a stop loss distance greater than the Asian session. because of price movements in the euro session is more wild than the asia session

[squall]

i think some where about 20-30 pips. but of course it shall be decided according to your MM an plans. risking our money for much extend is always some what stupid .we shall make an appropriate place for SL's in our strategy.

[sudsind]

Basically it depends upon your strategy, but for a general idea (the higher the time frame, the higher is your sl and accuracy and the lower the lot size) by lower lot size i mean, play your money management as SL is higher in the higher timeframe. In general for 1min. not use more than 10 pips sl, for 5 to 15 min. it shoud be 10-30, for 30min to 1 hr. it is 30-60 pips for 4hr. it is 50-150 and for day it is 50-250. These are just suggestive stop losses according to the volatility of the time frame, you should use sl according to your strategy or your experience along with these sl in mind.
A easy approach is to place a SL 2-5 pips below the lowest low or the highest high few bars back, or few pips below or above support or resistance or trendline or 144 or 200 ema but not in the case if the distance is a lot as compared to your TP

[kamrul10]

in my opinion, traders should not use it.or can avoid it. if you have good strategy or if you have good money management then no need to use it.sorry to say, stop loss function hunted my money too many times and thats why ignoring.

[sumonmia0526]

normally using 50 pips SL for long term would be better but 120 pips would be standard .otherwise using 1:2 SL:TP like 60 pips SL and 120 pips TP ..i never been follow this rule but heard most of the trader follow a rules for SL and TP

[sayem]

I think 50 pipes are safe for SL but short term trade and for long term trade SL must be rise and not below 100 pipes to safe SL. it depend on traders capital and plan also.

Yes my brother, there is a way to earn a good profit without risking your capital, you need a lot very small as 0.25 usd and a TP of 50 pips and 25 pips SL, so you'll earn a good daily without your profit and risky capital.

[tiar]

other than that we can also calculate the risk that we dare to spend per OP. for example, we just want our risk is only 5% and our capital is only $ 100. means that we risk $ 5 per OP. if we are OP with 0.1 lot then we put up 50 pips SL

[sinaga]

trading plan that I made, always place stop loss 50 pps just to be able to make gains in one day 20 pps. This is part of the management in my trade. and I have the discipline to do it. and this could minimize my losses in a trade without having to lose all the money I had.

[toptrader43]

With respect to my ability it ought to be better as compared to TP pips. However almost all of times i did not use SL if you are really trading with 2h consequently its better to have SL around 60 pips for 4h you must increase it.

[kaji]

usually use a stop loss of about 30 to 50 pips ..... because I think it is safe ..... but I like to preview the price limits are shown in the indicator that I use .... I just use stop losses based on these limits .... and I feel safe and comfortable with a strategy like that ....

if we trade the pair EURO / USD is SL's very close and easily moved by the price. because every day the price movement in this pair reaches 100 pips and even more.......

[Awan]

There is no limit of stop loss it is totally depend your flexibility for that trade also on your balance .But in spite of if you want minimum loss then it should be 50 to 100 pips that is reasonable.

[Ramnit]

as long we can apply,3 reward and 1loss are still good if we are have good timings usually when entering good markets situations
just to controlled greed and still act as realistic analysis and dont only hope we get pips as many we can

[bhai]

yes you are absolutely right.putting stoploos randomly with fix pips has no meaning.it is called gambling.each of our move on forex must have a meaning.when we open a position and when we place a TP and SL we need strong reasons.so the best method is to use support and resistant lines as stoploos.

[sidhu]

Yes indeed traders need to place stop losses based on their risk to reward ratio and based on the profits they want and percentage of capital they want to risk.It has to be decided by trader himself before trading.

[sumonmia0526]

Yes indeed traders need to place stop losses based on their risk to reward ratio and based on the profits they want and percentage of capital they want to risk.It has to be decided by trader himself before trading.

SL should be st buy the maximum percentage of risk ..like if anyone wanted to risk his money 5% maximum then it's better to set SL with that situation like 20-40 pips whatever he wanted to set but most of the expert trader will set low SL .coz when some trade going to trap then there need lots of time to recover ..it's better to close the trade without trapping .

[kaia]

Every trader must have their own thoughts about the safe position to put the SL. I think SL is safe, is 50 points or more. If we use the correct Money Management, then SL would not be touched.

[dineshji]

now days i am doing scalping trading and i feel that in scalping trading stop loss is not more than 20 pips.
i set my stop loss near to three candles low/high.
and i dont find it then i set 20pips.

[moti]

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.

[Tozammel]

Stop loss may vary from trader to trader and trade to trade. Stop loss and take profit may be set seeing the trade and market condition. Generally 30 pips to 50 pips is suggested to set stop loss. Maximum stop loss that you can set is 100 pips.

[ashwini]

yeh to aise bataya kaise jaye .. jab ki apne yeh bhi nahi baya ki app kounsa style se trade karenge . kounsa time frame use karenge.
yeh sab depend karta hain.
mainly agar app stoploss jitna use karte hain take profit kam se kam 50% leni chahiye . jyada se jayaa 200 % leni cahhiye.
isse ek fayda yeh hota hain ki. agar app loss face karta hain to next time easily recover kar sake.

[squall]

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.

[wavestraders]

It depends of the trader itself, its his decision to set it depending on the balance he have in his account and how much money can he afford to lose but setting it below 50 pips is not the right option according to me. but i said it always depends on the trader

[silverfx]

in my opinion, you should not use stop loss strategy if you have not enough confident with it.because this operation will hunt your money if you are going to place wrong.10% or 5% is better of balance to use it.

[Ronak]

I think stop lose depend on traders strategy and traders balance if trader have good balance then they can set big stop lose with there support and resistance level.

yeah u r right....its all depended on the strategy that we use for trading,...in case of stop loss must be use at stage where we can afford to lose it ...

[redlion]

i agree with ur point, one cannot give a clear cut figure as to what the stop loss should be. it all depends on yr capital and the amount of loss u r ready to take. even when u decide on a figure u should be thinking twice because i have experiences when i put a stop loss and the account closed at that point and i took a loss but the market started to move in the other direction after 20pips. had i kept my trade going i could have made a profit instead of an acceptable loss. so think twice before u apply a stop loss.

[sidhu]

The SL shall be decided by the traders according to what fit them best. Personally I use a 30 pip SL . I think that is the best thing working on my strategy . i wont want to get a lot of these pips to see in SL.

[bhai]

i don't know but there are many expert and great traders who don't use stop loss in their strategy . may be it depends upon everyone's plan in Forex. and also on MM .
but i do prefer to use a stop loss in my strategy .as i have encountered many situations where i got into deep trouble without a stop loss.

[bhai]

i think some where about 20-30 pips. but of course it shall be decided according to your MM an plans. risking our money for much extend is always some what stupid .we shall make an appropriate place for SL's in our strategy.

[maurya]

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.

[yaar]

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.

[Morshedul]

Actually it depends on the present and future situation of forex market. Generally, you can set 100 pips for stop loss. But market seems to goes down, then make it 200 pips from 100 pips. And hop that it will be safe for you.

[clickme]

Yes, it depends on the market volatility , some says that 2:1 profit and stop loss ratio is good, but I saw in my personal experience that 1:1 is best , by using i cannot make big loss, it should be also depend on your trading strategy which time frame you are trading.

[taufiqbd]

If you have good knowledge about forex analytical matters as well as risk and money management then I think a trader should be take 2% risk of a particular trade. But if you have good analytical knowledge then you have no need to use stop loss use only take profit. This tips only applicable for expert forex trader not for beginner.

[kamrul10]

i don't know but there are many expert and great traders who don't use stop loss in their strategy . may be it depends upon everyone's plan in Forex. and also on MM .
but i do prefer to use a stop loss in my strategy .as i have encountered many situations where i got into deep trouble without a stop loss.

do you know why maximum experts are not using this ? cause no need to use it if you have good strategy.suppose you place sl and market will touch it.then tell me who will take responsibility ? ofcourse you.but if you trade with patient then you can take profits.

[Ramnit]

placing sl at a distance is just because we don't want to lose our money and we think that the price will hit us tp instead of sl but that is a bad attitude if the trend is reversed not keeping your position open and close it and concentrate on your next trade.

[sinaga]

true. risk used by the traders, all depending on the plan he used in the trade. I myself will make the risk 50 pips, and only took 20 pips profit. This has become a trading plan that I created, and I have to be disciplined with my plan

[plkent]

Pips of stop loss has no limit. It is depend on the resistance and support level. We must should use the stop loss neck of the support and resistance. If you understand that it is the point to brake and move opposite then you will use the stop loss this point+10 to 20 pips. Every move turn back to opposite. so you can use SL 50 t0 100 pips or your think. Don't uses stop loss few pips.

[michael]

The set point loss and take profit points. I buy at the highest point of the level of profit taking set point loss either be equal to either in the case of point of sale to take profit when you lift it 25 points, or points, stop-loss be less guarantee them even more profit and less loss.

[anoha]

Is stop-loss varies from strategy to another, there are strategies you need to a large number of points endowment loss .. and strategies you need are a few points, depending on the goals, also if the goal is large from 100 to 200 points, he commanded the stop loss is like almost the best strategy, which will be where is the stop loss is equal to or less than the target

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.

in fact there is no word forex is safe or not, just how our ability to accept the loss of our capital in trading. I guess that's what we need to bear in mind if we make the SL. because I think how much we are the SL range of OP can still get the name Loss, are we ready to accept it?

[kaji]

Stop loss and take profit is depend on market condition too. But if you have enough balance and you are a swinger, then you can set your stop loss with big pips. It's easier I think if you put your stop loss and take profit in support and resistance levels.

put a stop loss further away from the point of support and resistance is a good idea, because then we put a stop loss will not be easily moved by the price because usually at this point the price will turn arah.namun to put take profit should be closer than at the point support and resistance to be more easily moved by the price .....

[lights]

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.

in addition, SL depends on the strategies we use. when we use short term trading is different from longterm trading. short term requires a smaller SL than the longterm. it is my opinion

[playfx]

it is a common rule that stoploss should at least half of the take profit amount, or in other words, the stop loss and takeprofit comparison should 1:2 in ratio. but this is not a fixed rule. what most important is how can you take it if the worse happened to the stoploss. can you accept it. it's all back to the basic rule in forex trading, only trade the amount that you can afford to loose.

I think 10-15 pips are very risky for stop loss point. Because market usually move under 20 pips on maximum time. So in this time if you use 10-15 pips for stop loss then you can't make profit because market all time touch your stop loss point.

yes my brother I'm agree with you, but when the market is positive and its direction is clear, we must make a small stop loss and Take a large profit, but if the market is a small negative is adjusted and a TP Stop loss big .. so our decision depends on the situation of the forex market.

[netra]

Every trader needs to trade in their risk and reward ratio and I think the stop loss should be placed according to the same. I trade in the ratio of 3:1 which means if I trade for the profits of 60 pips then I place my stop loss at 20 pips .

[netra]

Even with stop loss, account of trader still get margin call if trader use big lot size. What is good is combine of stop loss and money management. If combine the two the margin call far from trader. Trader use 10% of account to open position and set 50 pip stop loss is good. If trade loss, then only 5% of capital is loss. If can trade this way then will not easily get margin call.

[khaled6969]

First, we study market currencies or metals or stocks to determine the stop loss is different stop loss from currency to currency, for example Euro dollars as possible determine the stop loss 50 points, while the Australian dollar 30 points, but metals such as gold determine the stop loss $ 10, silver half dollars by moving currencies and metals

[sayem]

Mere hisabse ye aapki capital ki upar nirvar karta hay. agaar aap long term trade karte hay tab aapki SL apki plan ke anusar set karna parta hay or aagar aap short term karte hay tab SL mere hisabse kam set karna parta hay or ye 50 pipe behtar hoga.

[clickme]

I may also agree with you that, stop loss depneds on what trades or what types of trade you doing , it can be less to more, so it is tough to tell the stop loss at just once, so dear friend it will allow you how the trades is begun

[fxashik]

Stop loss is depend your account balance and how much you effort the loss. But i think stop loss is a unfortunate things because you open a trade by using specific strategy and analysis and you also except profit from this trade. So you give the stop loss because the market will not go this range and you also making stop loss by using pivot points, support and Resistance.

[barkiman]

I think, 50 pips is a fair distance to find out that the predictions that we are doing it wrong. I always use a 1:1 ratio, meaning that 50 pips stop loss, take profit 50 pips. and do not forget, always use a trailing stop.

[netra]

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

[sachin]

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....

[netra]

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....

[wendhrie]

There are no fixed amount that can be said as a good value because by hitting SL you always get losses. But it depends on you that how much loss your account can tolerate and also you have enough free margin to open another position.

[FXSHM]

I usually take 1% risk of my whole capital. then i divide the amount with my volume, this amount i use as stop loss. in this method if i loose in one trade i will loose only 1% of my whole capital. it is very safe method.

[anoha]

Difficult to determine the stop loss order is always, sometimes we are moving and we pursue profit and other times we are moving away from the loss and this also depends on the strategy we follow if the long-term or medium-or scalping Balnsphly work to strip the scalp and have ordered a stop loss 10 points and profit also 10

I put the stop loss depending on the frame, which I trade if it was 15 minutes, 30 minutes off I put a small loss of about 30 points when trading on the resistors and subsidies put the stop loss, only 20 points

[forexgain]

that depends on the trade that where have you opened the trade. normally i open a trade then i make 40 pips take profit and 20 to 30 pips stop loss. that is the best trade i think

[wavestraders]

if indeed you are often touched stop loss you may need to widen the longer distance of your stop loss price running and this may provide opportunities for the hard hit stop loss

[sajid]

Every trader follow different rules.I am new trader and i follow stop loss when market go to my reversal.
I give 75 pips stop loss when i take profit 15 pips is safe because i see that market.

[seahawks90]

i must say that its always depends upon the trader and on the capital of the trader because if you have good capital then you can take that
risk to the higher extent otherwise you must have to put stop loss on the earlier stage may be within 10-15 pips.

[sayem]

I think for short term trade 50 pipe is safe for SL but if you trade long term you can set your SL 100 plus pipe or more. it depend on your capacity and balance also. some long term trader are not used SL. but SL is very essential.

[mastri296]

I load the maximum limit of 100 pips stop loss, and this is the maximum limit for the stop loss to trade long-term and short-term trade.

maybe if you want to play it safe you can just do it with the normal 50 pips ..
so if it is exceeded it will be very difficult to go back to follow your analysis ..

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 because each trader will be different.

maybe if you want to play it safe, adna tiadk can use more than 50 pips is enough ..
because if a graph already passed that the trend will still continue to run against you ..

[Morshedul]

Most of the time i do not prefer to use stop loss. I think it is not a good thing to use for every single trade. If you have strong back up, then you do not need to use this. Actually pips on stop loss depends on then market situation. On an average 100 pips will be good for stop loss.

[bigvic28]

i would prefer using SL in all my trades like 30-75pips and it should be greater than my take profit, remember using the sl helps you minimize your loss not to loss all your money, it safe for me to use stop loss that is greater than my take profit.

[zahidrock]

i think some where about 20-30 pips. but of course it shall be decided according to your MM an plans. risking our money for much extend is always some what stupid .we shall make an appropriate place for SL's in our strategy.

If you set your stop loss on market movement basis then you can easily make good profit. If you set 20-30 pips on high movement time then you will never gain good profit because maximum time market will be touch your point. so try to make high distance point on high movement time.

Long distant on high momentum time is good idea but not as per money management principles. As per fundamental analysis stop loss should be set at the point where the market gets it's reversal. So that we can be in safer zone even market not gets back to our trend direction.

[sayem]

I think this depend on your business strategy and plan. if you plan or trade short term then i think 50 pipes is better and if you trade long term you must increase your SL and should be 100+ pipes for long term only..

[shamim3040]

I think stop loss depends on lots size.And it also depend on capital.
Stop loss is a good strategy in forex.Take profit should be one third of stop loss.

[ishvara]

I think this depend on your business strategy and plan. if you plan or trade short term then i think 50 pipes is better and if you trade long term you must increase your SL and should be 100+ pipes for long term only..

You are right to have mentioned that the stop loss or take profits that we apply in our forex trades is going to be fully dependent on the trading style that we are trading with. Scalpers look for short term opportunities so they need no stop loss or take profits settings.

[pkdoo7]

scalping main stop loss maximum 10 pip rakhna chahiye aur day trade main 30 pip distance per agar swing trade karna hai to 100 pip tak rakh sakte hain , s/l order ki setting time frame ke hisab se karni chahiye kyonki time ke hisab se pip movement badhte ya ghattein hain .

[waleedkhan]

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.

it depends on what timeframe u r trading if u r trading on 5 min then 10-15 pips
on 1H time frame 30-35 pips on 4H 50-60 pips on daily timeframe 80-100 pips of stoploss is enough to see that u have entered wrong so close the trade with minimum loss.

[kapil_chemical_07]

I think five pips easy right to be save for stop loss.But, sometimes I used ten pips for stop loss.I do that, when the probability is is high for earning.Actually most of the time I use five pips stop loss.

[sumonmia0526]

yes obliviously it will depends on someones strategy and risk management system ..but i saw several people who are using SL:TP 1:2 in this way .like 100 pips gain for 50 pips loss ..actually not bad .but SL and TP using by analysis of support and resistance for long time trade

[silverfx]

i think if we trade to take standard profits then 30 pips should e enough but 20 pips is lot of easy to take for me.but if we think as professional then 300 pips is good for long time trading.

[aina]

Any trade which is less than a 100 pips strength and sustainance is of a great risk to the losses. It is also sometimes good to have the trades having take profits at 300 pips and the stop losses at 200 pips.

it all dpends on your strategy, like 10 pips for scalping, 20-30 for day trader and up to 80 for swing trader
i prefer day traidng and my stop loss is alway s maximum 20 pips to avoid big loss

[abokhaledelmasry]

Stop Loss: It is a price determined by trader up to stop the loss and get out of the deal, if open trader a deal and then the price moves against him to reach the specified stop-loss limit then immediately close the deal "even if it were not rolling in front of the computer.
The stop loss can be determined by the number of points such as 40 points, for example, "or by selecting a certain amount is subject to loss as a percentage of capital does not exceed 3%.

I believe in what you are saying here. In order to successfully choose the very best forex safe stop loss for us, i already believe that it depends on the trading style and strategy that we are applying in our trades.

[sudsind]

basically it depends upon your strategy and the time frame you are trading, it mostly depends upon the time frame for shorter time frames it's better to go for 5-20 pips at most and for bigger times frames you can use bigger stop loss like 30-50 pips for 30min to 1 hr chart

[riya]

ending loss may distinguishable by varied trder. few use half of the fuck profit or some use multiple of position profit or whatever use drill. but I use treble of stomach profit. this is secure for me.

[aarti]

If your strategy is good then you can make your stop lose and take profit with good confident. It is very good to use take profit and stop lose. I also use it. If you think your strategy is good and your balance is good then you can make suitable take profit and stop lose.

[Nezamahmedchy]

Actualy its depend on your trade, your account leverage, your equity and news so at first you have to calculate your everythings then you apply stop loss like if your equity 100$ and you apply a ordered 0.01 vol then you can use stop loss 50 pips.

[vanigota]

I think stop lose depend on traders strategy and traders balance if trader have good balance then they can set big stop lose with there support and resistance level.

[aarti]

Yes entry point is very important for forex trader. If your entry point is good then you can set your stop lose very safely. I think support and resistance level is very good to set stop lose. I always add 10 or 15 pips with support and resistance level to set my stop lose.

[vanigota]

2:1 take profit and stop lose ratio is very good for trader. I also use 2:1 take profit and stop lose ratio. Some time I use 1:1 ratio. It depend on market condition and market volatility.

[rahulsagar]

It depends upon market conditions generally we can get good signal of stop loss by using many indicators but most preferred is Fibonacci indicators and its retracement will tell you what to put stop loss.

[rahulsagar]

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.

[hitesh]

Stop loss is major key of success in life of forex traders as we see many traders lose their whole money due to margin call do not put stop loss which they lose all the money.

[rahulsagar]

bhai mein time frame or candle stick k hisaab sey adjust kerta hun, ager chhotta time frame hey to definitely us hisaab sey pips bhi kam hon gey lekin agr bera time frame hey to sl k pips bhi ziaada hon gey

[aarti]

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.

[aarti]

Its depend on your capital and your business strategy. if you trade short term then it become risky and you should set SL as like 50 pips or it also depend on your capital and plan. and for long term trade you SL must be high for short term SL.

[bablu7832]

I absolutely agree with you, stop loss is very important risk management strategy and you should exactly calculate your profit from tp and loss from sl before setting them in any trade.Stop loss value depends upon various market conditions and the balance you have.Use your experience to set stop loss .In currency I give 10-20 pips stop loss.

[sobjanta]

For stoppage loss may disparate by various trder. few use half of the undergo profit or many use multiple of occupy profit or whatever use drill. but I use reliever of cover profit. this is uninjured for me.

[MarginCall]

if u want to safe ur account from closing then i think u must have 500 pips after the trade then ur account safe if less then 200 pips it is not possible that ur account is safe

I still can not determine the fit, how SL is right. But I usually always adjust to market conditions that I'm into. If the trend might be my SL tightened. But if you're flat will probably make me loose.

[nilanchal777]

not how big stop losses so that you feel secure that the stop losses will not be touched, but rather, how you will make a certain price because the price exceeds the reasonable limit on the right

[jab we met]

actually many trader set different pips for save their account but according to if the market move against you entry more then 50 points then you need to close the deal and start again new one after check the market trend

[dmambi]

The stop loss setting should be done based on the percentage of risk we are going to take with the order, and the volatility in the market , whether the trend is side way or not. Setting stop loss also should be based on nearest support and resistance zones.

If you follow constant stop loss pips across all market conditions then you might end up in regret in one day. Yes, fixing constant stop loss will not safe to trade with. Stop loss should be derived from our technical analysis. If you follow scalping then fixed stop loss and fixed target might work fine for you.

[clickme]

I am consent with you, that it clearly express the support or registence level, in small trading you can set stop level at 30pips. but the long trade you cannot consider that so, better you draw the support and registence level setting the stop loss for best practice.

[golpo20]

the reduced the risk involving deals that you simply make use of I think this will result both emotive business you need to do while you will fare just a little income nonetheless it is good for the safeguard with this enterprise.

[rbs]

Placing the stop loss slightly below the price pullback is indeed a very good strategic location. That’s because a price pullback is a turning point for any trend to resume. Even if it is not a strong trend, but at least we know that the price is going to move quite a distance in that direction.

[riddick09]

This will depend on your trading capital, lot size and leverage. Placing stop loss is best applied with the resistance and support levels. I could use a ratio of 1: 1 for your take profit and stop loss ratio.

Yes, it will depend on the different factors which a trader should familiarized already how these lot size and leverage being used and can affect our trades. I guess not all have used Stop loss feature although it is advisable although not good for those who have small trading capital which can only drain their account and probably will not able to have fast recovery.

[mmassi]

Make the take profit and stop lose is a very important control in the management of money so you have few seeds meter below the support for long position, and few pips above the resistance line in case of a short position so that if support or resistance is broken in this case the stop is going to lose business and my account will be safe.

[sanvol]

sir mere khyaal se ye to totally depend karta hai market position par agar market achi chal rahi hai aur apko yaqeen hai ke market zayada neeche nahi jayegi to ap 20 se 30 pips par stop loss laga den.

[999999999]

I just put the stop loss near to strong levels such as support, resistance and trend lines also moving average .. but I don't have a fixed number of pips as the stop loss.

isnt it just to risky if a trader put the stop lost near such a high support or resistance level ? i think it is better for a trader to put the stop loss on the highest or lowest candle stick on the 1h or 4h time frame depending on how strong is the trend

[nilanchal777]

trader ko humesha stop lose lga kar he trade karna chaiye taki usko lose kam se kam ho.jab b trader bina stop lose k trade karta hai to vo kafi lose kar letahai.is liye yaad rakhna ki stop lose lga kar jo b trade karte hai vo kafiprofit kar lete hai,nahi to aapko lose he lose hota jayega.best of luck.

[naijafx]

For me, i think market conditions should determine the stop loss levels a trader should choose. In a ranging market, i will take less pips.

[wolfkamikaz]

Well, it all depends on your equity, and the size of your lot. I stopped for a loss of 10 pips for the use.
This is how much money you are willing to be flexible depending on the money you will distabilize.

[zeshan]

i think the stop loss pips not more then 40 pips because if the market is against ur trades 40 pips it means the market is down or up more so don t wait that the market is move back

[shamtek]

i used only take profit. Stop loss is unnecessary thing for those whose follow money management. If you found reversal movement, wait for the movement to touch the take profit.
You hedging to make profit. I used 4 stop loss in the trade. market does not my take profit, it always touch stop loss only. So only, i decide this method and following this.

[naijafx]

Factors that really determines stop loss in trading is usually the risk that the trader chooses. Some traders choose stop loss based predetermined stop loss levels.

[Fahad]

ist depend s on the trend of the market, if trend of the market is fast then we have to take more pips for stop loss and if the trend is not so much clear and fast then we have to take small amount of pips for stop loss

[yogesh]

mere hisab se hum agar bare lot ka koi trade karte hay toh hummein 20 ya phir 30 pips taq hi sl ko lena chahiye.Lekin agar hum small lot main trade kar rahe hai toh hummeon jarur 50 pips taq ka stop loss use karna hoga.

There is no rule that market will not move 20 or 30 pips against us and will not return back and so what is the benefit of having stop in pips, we should look for a point which is acting as good support and breaking which market direction may change and should set stop below that.

[maken]

There are no anchored bulk that can be said as a acceptable amount because by hitting sl you consistently get losses.But it depends on you that how abundant accident your annual can abide and aswell you accept abundant chargeless allowance to accessible addition position.

[makenamjad]

It depends of the trader itself, its his accommodation to set it depending on the antithesis he accept in his annual and how abundant money can he allow to lose but ambience it beneath 100 pips is not the appropriate advantage according to me. but i said it consistently depends on the trader.

[boniez]

50 pips is the ideal number, which you can adjust based on the percentage of total capital, and I think if you will already be familiar with the entire amount of such risks so you can determine the ideal target profit as well, so it all balanced.

[Nganti]

All depend on your strategy and how muct Tape Profit for use. more better seting stop loss is same with take profit , so rasio win and loss is 1 :1 , but some trader using rasio 1:2 . for me never using stop loss, but i using cut loss in my trading.

[golpo20]

to be a novice i believe we should keep your count number to reduced that individuals can potentially cope with i believe SL should be connected with 50 pips i continues SL having 50 pips in addition to TP on wonderful mileage once we have been in profit you can employ SL regarding stay away from loss.

[greenish]

i will say 100 pips fpr SL and aswell 50 pip's for tp also, sl is actual important to stop losses if we are profiting, but the pip's may alter according to differnt traders who accept a altered way to access it.

[gulab]

There is no such fixed amount which i say is safe for stop loss but i am in the view that the market have the capability to move any pips in any direction and there for i am using the exit strategy.

[Mohona]

How many pips you want it depends on your strategy. as example , when I use the TP is 30 pips then I will put SL a 20 pips because 20 pips is easy for me to make profit. But it all about depend on market situation and your planning.

[tarun2305]

sahi kaha ki tension bhauat badi cheeze hai trader ke liye agar ho jaye toh trader ka dimaag ruk jata hai aur woh sahi tarah soch nahi pata

[tarun2305]

I agree if we depend on the setup. It does not appear immediately when we look at the chart. Maybe we have to wait longer until there is a setup that appears. Sometimes it is faster and sometimes it is slow. so use SL very carefully then only it will be beneficiery

===>>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.

[taqiniazi]

in very hard to fix the SL that these pips are safe because the Forex market is volatile market and there is no idea of moving. i thin if you trade in currencies you can't use more than 40pips SL

[golpo20]

in the event we depend on the particular startup. It does not glimpse immediately whenever we consider the information. Perhaps we will need to wait around for a longer time right up until there exists a startup which seems. Sometimes it is quicker along with sometimes it is sluggish. consequently use SL cautiously then just will probably be assignee.

[rahulsagar]

i usually trade using a scalping and trade with most volatile pair that is eur usd so i think i need to make a stop loss of atleast 20-30 pips for safe trading..their should be a different stop loss.pair wise

Yes you are right. I like to add that stop loss depends on market condition. Such as - I open a trade 1 minute ago. But suddenly one news published which is contradictory of my speculation. I understand that the market will down seriously now. So, now I need close the trade immediately, whatever my loss - 10 pip or 100 pip does not matter, whatever my investment $1 or $1000. Now the situation is considerable not emotion.

mein to apne trading aur avaialble equity ke hisab se mein apna stop loss chhoose karta hoon.basically mein scalper hone ki wajah se mein jaldi hi position close kar deta hoon so mein kabhi kabhar sl bhi nahi rakhta

[solidhdida]

you can fix s/l as your convenience their is not any limit but you should always choose it according to the market conditions and your trading system or strategy requirement ,for example if you are scalping you should set s/l order 10 to 15 points above or below the entry point and if you trying to day trade or swing you cam set stop loss order at more distant points as your plan requirements .

[deep]

yeah u r right....its all depended on the strategy that we use for trading,...in case of stop loss must be use at stage where we can afford to lose it ...

i totally agree with your statement we must set more stop loss pips then the take profit i think double for example if we set 50 pips for take profit then we need to set 100 pips for stop loss

[Ramnit]

yeah u r right....its all depended on the strategy that we use for trading,...in case of stop loss must be use at stage where we can afford to lose it ...

better we are keep using the stop loss on our trading, because the stop loss can make the trader being more safe on their trading, this is the good option for the trader to use to make them being secure and safe

[Fahad]

in my point of view ther is 10 pips are enough to set as stop loss, and 30 pips are enough to set as take profit, its my strategy but i can't say that it is perfect one so you have to think yourself about your trade

I think the forex market is always risk profiles so use stop loss is a smart way to minimize risk I think SL set depending on each transaction and each of the trader I usually put my SL is 30 pips

[ahmad]

Yes I normally do scalping when there's a very essential news to be published or once the price has moved the point of support or resistenci point I think we should be trying to have a consistent pips profit so that we can make better trading.

[Bankmen]

If you trade daily strategy i think that 50 pip is enough for moving in some directio so if you pick up wrong entry point you will be closed on safe 50 pips but if you are in the right moment you will make 50 pips also as take profit target.

[golpo20]

Inside the forex market there isn't any unique amount of pips which can be suited to stoploss because stoploss is determined according to your current investing approach. In case you are a lengthy dealer in that case your sl will be high seeing that of which of any scalper.

[rahulsagar]

[3mala]

I'm not agree with your option because space is very close and more chance of loss, so better to trade with in 20 to 30 pips however if you are scalper then SL 10 to 15 pips and TP same.

[golpo20]

superior we're keep using the stop burning in each of our buying and selling, for the reason that stop burning could make the speculator becoming more safe on their buying and selling, this can be the great choice for that speculator to utilize to produce all of them becoming safe as well as risk-free.

[place]

i am thinking to collect 50 pips or 30 pips daily.but if i miss somehow to get this much of pips then i am sure that i will go at 300 pips minus.market are so volatile and i can not trust market movements.

[najaf12345]

Hi
YOU are right putting stoploss on long distance is just because we do not want to lose our money and we think that price hit our
target point rather than stoploss but that is a bad attitude if the trend is reversed do not keep your position open and close it and
concentrate on your next trade.

[3mala]

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.

[deep]

Pivot points are really good tools to use in setting stop loss and take profit targets but the important thing about setting your stop loss is that you should give the trade enough space to manouvre and this means that your stop loss should be large enough. The second thing is that no matter how large your stop loss is, it should not risk above 10% of your margin.

[aamu]

Yes indeed traders need to place stop losses based on their risk to reward ratio and based on the profits they want and percentage of capital they want to risk.It has to be decided by trader himself before trading.

[kazamonsif]

Every trader has their own goals and targets, and they trade accordingly and their risk and the percentage of the profits. I think it is better to negotiate based on your risk and reward ratio and mine is 3:1 which means that I place orders for profits of 60 pips and stop loss 20 pips.

[eoneadit]

If you want to start making a trading rule, there is basic known about the how much is your SL distance to your entry and this is based on the pair. Right know, EURUSD has commonly have 50pip SL distance while GBPUSD has commonly 45pip distance. This is based on their daily average range. But remember this settings only apply for this moment, but maybe in the future it will change.

[aamu]

forex traduing karte waqt chahae aap bade time frame ke sath trading kare ya chote time frame ke sath, aapko stop loss hamehsa support aur resistance ki values dekh ke hi set karna chahaiye ..long term wale tradres kel iye bhi support resistance hote hai aur short term walo ke liye bhi hote hai.trader apni strategy ke hisab se stop loss set kar sakta hai

[aamu]

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.

[puri]

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.

[rathod]

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.

[Bankmen]

.SL should be decided with Support or resistance
Sometimes forex market dont look for support and resistance so you need to put your stop loss on some swings as better protection for intra day trading. Try to understand that point very clear.

[elking]

I think it's the proportion varies from person to person and also vary from one frame to another frame more the user points the more our stop if we were on the almond Frema for an hour I think that 50 or 100 points, good to put them a de facto stop loss

[hikaru fx]

i prefer just increase lot no need to look for a lot of pips and forex not easy to earn more than 500pips very day you need to some wisdom so you can easily earn 40pip by 5 lot or 20pip by 20 lot.

[ceestech]

stop loss to me should be based on the amount of capital that one has and the movement of the market.

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

[fx_boy]

I think it depend on trader type. For new trader i think they should use 30 to 35 pips for SL. But i think it is better to set the stop loss according to our own plane than it will be working for us.

[omofx]

yes you are right it depend on how much you are ready to lose if the trade goes wrong, with good management never risk more that 2% of your trading capital on a trade

I think around 70 to 100 pips is the best type of stop loss and these is so because they are much safer and can not wipe our your account and you can afford atlest most people can, it makes your trade have some area to dance arount and make good trading area for so.

[rathod]

Stop loss is major key of success in life of forex traders as we see many traders lose their whole money due to margin call do not put stop loss which they lose all the money.

[madun]

In my opnion 10 pips will suffice every open position in the H1 TF 0.05, but consistent with the lots after closing and when the profit and loss when it closed immediately open position by raising the value of lots.

[ryodan]

It depends of the trader itself, its his decision to set it depending on the balance he have in his account and how much money can he afford to lose but setting it below 50 pips is not the right option according to me. but i said it always depends on the trader

[vladimir]

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.

[niks]

Stop loss mainly depend on two thing . Type of trade , is short term or long term and how much you afford to loose.
Analyse resistance and support level and put stop loss.

[tarun2305]

being a swing trader i wait for a long time to open a positions and after i open a position i wait for a while depends on the market . That time i take risk depends on the market session,news and volatility .then only i decide the position for SL

[100 to 1,000]

the level of stop loss really depend on the trading strategy that the trader use and mostly a trading strategy always have an instruction on where to put the stop loss.
of course, stop loss is never going to prevent us from the loss itself, it is just a tool to prevent us from getting more losses.

[Amitpaul]

I use Stop loss in my own trading here.
I select stop loss 10-20 pips here and get profit.

[Nganti]

i think good for safe stop loss is depend on you capital and strategy, if we have huge of capital , no using stop loss is okey, but if movement market out off from our prediction we use cut loss.

[incredibleindia]

The best way to define the SL and even the TP for that matter is to use the support and resistance zones so as to define the levels, rather than work wit arbitrary values. However, 30 pips of SL is acceptable at the least.

[najwa]

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.

[jab we met]

according to me before open any deal you must wait for the market trend and read the indicators signals and also read the forecast after open the deal you can set stop loss at the point of 100 pips i think it is much save

[jab we met]

mere hisab se 50 pip hi thik hai stop loss k liye. agar hum wait karnai ka socte hai toh woh loss maximum hi hota rehta hai 50 pip thak thik hai stop loss karna ya usse kam mai hi mai kahuga stop karke nikal jane ka...aur phir koi dusre trade mai profit ka dekna ka.

main bhi ap bat k sath agree karta hn laqin masla yeh hai jab ham 50 pips ko set karte hain to bohat dafa aisa hota hai k market hamari entry ban kar k wapis chali jati hai is lie main to kaho ga k ager ap market watch kar rahe hain to manual close kere

[zahidrock]

It is all rely on market situation along with margin you might have inside your exchanging accounts. Should you have large margin and then if the indicators moves inappropriate and then there is certainly time for you to cure the idea.

[cac4a26]

yes i accede 100% with you about application sl in anniversary and every position we make. we apperceive the bazaar can al of a sudden change its movement afterwards a above account or announcement, and all our assay with be a section of applesauce in such situations so we should consistently use sl.

[BDforex]

Trader should open a trade before concrete and good analysis. then he set his stop loss 20-25 and take profit 30-35, it should be depend on market condition and his money management.

[yogesh]

No number is safe in forex trading and so what is the appropriate term we can use here is "less risky", it may depend on the volatility on particular day and the pair used to trade - still a point which is not violated since some time we can expect will be maintained in near future and so can use as stop loss level.

[huda]

its depend on the balance available in you account.Now here comes the main factor called money mangement.According to your money management you have to set your stop loss and take profit

[purohit]

stop loss main agar aap high lot ke trade open kare toh aapko jarur 25-30 pips main sl ko set karna hoga.Lekin aap agar medium lot main trade kare toh aap ke liye 50 pips main stop loss use karna thik rahega.

[joru]

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.

[purohit]

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.

[purohit]

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.

[Ramnit]

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.

to determine the good SL is could use a Fibonacci retracement, with Fibo retracement we can know where it should put the TP & SL , the stop loss can prevent us to cut loss, so here is the use of stop loss for the prevention of greater losses

[joru]

ya its all depends on the trader where he want to set the stop loss and take profit. if he able to set proper stop loss and take profit then it can be benificial for him

[joru]

meray kheyal sy yeh batter rahy ga k aap agar 20 pips down p apni stoop loss set karni cahiye ku k yeh achi stoop loss limit hy me to jiyada isko he use karta hu i like this point of stoop loss.i use this level ever .

[Morshedul]

I think 30 pips is enough for stop loss while target profit is 50 pips. I think those hwo have large capital back up do not need to use stop loss. Because it is one kind of loss also.

[digger_jim]

If you want a really safe number, try 1,000. But if you cannot afford that many, review your strategy, especially its past performance. There you would find how far a pullback you might deal with using your strategy.

[alvabra2010]

I generally keep my SL at 20-30 pips when i am sure about the trade and when i am not sure of the trade, i set it at 10-15 pips because that saves me from taking much risk. I generally set my SL before my trade is executed or after its execution. I never modify it after i have set it once because mostly i set my TP and SL and then close the platform. Its safe and doesn't generate greed.

[ernestina]

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...

Outside how much you can afford to lose, I think that it is also dependent on the volatility of the currency pair that is being traded. I mean if you are trading EUR/USD and EUR/CAD, you can not use the same stop loss targets for both because the volatility of their price movement is different. You will use a smaller pip target for EU and a larger pips target for EC.

It depends on market situation if market is in favour and you are full concentrate on it then it will be benefit for you. But the loss point of different trader is different. in my point of view it will be good on 50 point if you cross it then your loss point of ratio is maximum the chances are both but it depend on you what is the strategies you should be adopted.

[md satu]

setting stop loss & take profit depends on market situation .......
sometime you can set stop loss to 50 pips only & something you can market E 200 pips

[hikaru fx]

I think its fair enough and not easily hit by some big spikes of market movements during news releases. I think cut loss too is good but the problem with cut loss is that sometimes your mind refuse to follow your own directives because it has a mind of its own. And before you knew it your floating negative positions is now hard to control,,,,

[bdboy]

its fully depends on ones money management system. i use 1:3. thats mean I take 30pips stop loss when I set my take profit at 10pips. I make some pips with this risk. its good for scalping also. But if u r a long term trader then u can use 100 or more high stop loss.

[dmambi]

To guess the right spot for a perfect stop loss needs good hands on trading experience. Also it depends on the volatility of the pair a trader is trading, as the more the pair fluctuates the more deep it should be placed beyond the strong support /resistance lines.

[kalponick]

Not a single pips is safe for trading.. because I dont use any random number like 25, 30,50 pips as my stop-loss.. In a seminar I like when an analyst told me that You dont tell the market what is your stop-loss but the market should tell you, how much pips you need to use... This is how I also starts trading now..

[tarun2305]

bilkul sah kaha apne ye poori trah se depend kartahai ki market condition kya hai us samay ki tabi aap sahi SL laga paeynge har baar ek hi same SL ho asia koi jarur i nhi ahi

[saviour196]

i think uptill 50 to 60 pips you should decide to set your stop loss after seeing at the level of that pair if you will choose less than 50 it can be stopped in very short time and may be after that it moves up so 50 to 60 is fine.

[madun]

I usually use Stop lose up the points of take profit. I use 30 point to stop lose and take profit 25 points in consistence and the importance thing dont too greedy.

[najwa]

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.

[sazzad]

According to my analysis i think trader can use stop loss on the basis of money management, they should not take more then 2% risk of their total account balance and most of the expert trader also do this.
