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.

i think there is no rules for it which you make safe and give profit.But if want to reduce our loss than we can start 50-70 pips but on the other hand there is a lass chance also get large profit.It really depends on situation and trade time if there is 100% chance to get profit we must use large pips.

Once you enters the market, the pips of the stoploss will depends on the market volatility, highs and lows of the candle sticks etc, As i am concerned 40-100 is very o.k.

friend 10pips stop loss not good in my view.
hamara stop loss kam se kam itnaa hona chahiye jo market ka toda bahut movement ko jhel sake.
10pips ka normal movement ham dekh sakte hai or trade stop loss hit hone k jyda chance hote hai. hamara stop loss near to resistance or support hona chahiye.

I think 80-100 pips is right to make sl.Market buffer's in every seconds,so to gain some profit you should take some risk.But sl depends on your trading volume.And its better to trade without sl and tp.

well. . . I think it depends on the trader and his capital and the amount he can afford to lose. . Also it depends on the market movement. . .. . In my case i usually use 50 . . . Cuz that's safe for me..

Setting stop loss and take profit depends on market situation..
sometimes you can set stop loss to 50 pips only and sometime you can make it 200 pips..Its all about your study and market condition..
Yes you are exactly correct. When the news released, market is more volatile. So setting a small pip variance will lead to a loss in a high volatile time frame. It's okay to keep a small spread of stop loss, when the market is not moving that much.

i think 40-50 pips.........stop loss depends on various conditions.I think there is no particular SL and TP and it depend fully on trader and his/her strategy and depend on how much balance there ..but I use double of take profit. this is safe for me.

Thanks for asking a very important question here which is great for trading but I am not in position to response your question because I am a newbie in trading and I have not enough experiences to reply your question.
Grab diminution depends on the different healthiness and it differs from gauge to post and mortal to person ant also there forbearance. but i raise H1 which enables trader a virtuous experience and it helps a lot as i believe.
The use of Stop Loss is dependent of the traders themselves. anyone directly determine Stop Loss itself determines some are based on several issues related to market itself. I always specify the Stop Loss in a way, pay attention to markets, capital and range on the pair itself.

As far as my knowledge goes I would say that to me 100 pips is the best for Stop Loss then your loosing money possibility will be very very less here in Forex trading and I think this is the best number of pips which need to be considered while setting SL.
Be careful when you set a fix amount of stop loss. You should consider the win:loss ratio of your strategy. 100 pips stop loss, if you set take profit for 50, that means for every two winning trades it takes only one loosing trade to wipe them out. On average of 20 trading days in a month, say you trade only once per day, 10 winning days will be wipe out by 5 loosing trades, while you can say anything certain about the last 5. And it doesn't get much better even if your profit point is 75 pips away. The ideal profit for 100 pips stop loss would be 200 pips gain, except that there isn't any pair which has average daily range over 200 pips. So, be very careful.

actually bro this is fully depending on you.which trading method you are using?
if you are a scalper then you should not use stop loss above 10 pips.otherwise if you are a swing trader then you can set stop loss 100 and above.
thanks.:respect:

i trade with the pivot point and i put the stop loss after the breaking of the resitence point or the support one by 10 point until 15 point so i think it safe for the stop loss to trade with 40 take profit and 25 stop loss because sometimes you dont enter in the pivot point exactelly
in forex in some cases it would be good for you if you can do this business with having a target to get a good result from this business, we need to be serious for that.
i agree with you, our stop loss can be only 10 pips but it is not hit if we make an entry on right point
like trading on support and resistance point, this makes sl always enough for all kinds of trading
on the other hand if we make wrong entry and set large stop loss it can be hit easily

2012-07-07, 07:42 AM
For me it is not important to base your loss only in the pips so the most important is to have your own strategy to trade in try to get profit in your trading, you can start using 50 pips if you are new in forex trading and after you can increase your pips when you become more professional

we can specify the use of stop lose strategy in accordance with what we do, if we really want only a small risk in trading, then we can set a few pips only to lose the stop limit in any transaction, all that we are set.
well,, it's depend on our strategy,, we can use SL 30 or 50 or 100 pips,, depend on our TP too,, it's will be better if we use SL : TP with rasio 1:2 or 1:1, because when we lose, we can recovery it in 1 TP

Most of the case i do not elevate to use consonant loss. I opine it is not a unspoiled thing to use for every bingle trade. If you someone brawny play up, then you do not condition to use this. Actually pips on place loss depends on then market position. On an average 100 pips module be advantageous for forestall loss.

How much pips safe for SL it actually depend the market condition and trader knowledge. Some trader fixed his stop loss 50 pips. Every time 50 pips are safe, it is not correct. How much pips you fixed stop loss it depend market condition and your knowledge.

Normally I use SL and TP as 1:1.If your SL is 30pips your TP must be 30 pips.I think it is very good.If you can catch the trend you can easily earn profits daily.Your account balance must be $50 or more.

determining the amount of pips that we placed on any stop-lose in the purchase may have to fit with the technique many of us use within trading, in case many of us perform we are able to outline scalping stop-lose small as compared to in case many of us perform swing movement trading in currency trading.
you hunt some little pips with small lots it means your profits is so small and you let the price moves against you much pips cuz you don't use stop loss it means your account will get blow so soon

2012-07-07, 01:16 PM
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.

with regard to create the particular stop-loss i do believe which is safer to be able to be determined by the particular analysis that any of us previously create to be able to allow us to placed the particular stop-loss around the foreign exchange, we all does not have to hold the deal with stop-loss mainly because obtaining the deal with stop-loss just isn't good for the particular speculator.
computers
2012-07-07, 05:01 PM
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,
100 to 1,000

yes, i think the safest stop loss level is the one that we already used previously. but sometimes we also must adjust
it according to the market condition or be prepared for news release to trap the price volatility.

stop loss is the better option lo minimize our loss and it helps us to set a target and build a good money management. So stop loss must be selected by reviewing the market properly and analyzing other technical analysis. Good level of experience is needed for this.

It is also depend on the trader strategy .

I think that the placing of stop loss for your position is the critical decision which you have to take so for that I think you should try to place your stop loss according to the support and the resistance.
depending on the time frame that you use to determine the open position. If you open up the position after seeing such a large timeframe 1 hour, then you can specify the minimum 50 pips stop loss. And the smaller the stop loss that you wear, the smaller is also the time frame that you wear,.
how much the specified stop loss, of course, depend on the strength of margin you have. If you monitor a large chart on the timeframe, and then decided to open a position then you should set a stop loss with a high range. But if you look at the chart smaller, then the stop loss should also be minimized.
computers
2012-07-08, 02:21 PM
I think, depends on several things, and his type of trader. How large it is relative. This kind of thinking and calculation is part of money management. Some professional traders set a stop loss is proportional to the take profit is 1:3, so the Stop Loss and Take Profit = 1 is 3. If you're trading in the 10 times that 7 times in a row worth 70 points (1x10x7), and you win 3 times worth 90 points (3x10x7) then in total, you still profit by 20 points.

for me im focus on the market and see how pip they high and how pip they return and i know the range of the market moving so if i will open trade i will put the stop loss not small or high but in the range to avoid reverse of the market this is my view

Block red is a needed unholy for the newbies, its rattling valuable to forestall the turn of loses using the block casualty because generally newbies study with a micro fund. And you are rightist several big traders can do without stop expiration because they human adequate residuum in their trading calculate to handle without stop.
It's alright not using Grab Amount but it's amended for merchandiser who didn't use Catch Exit to use added essay direction to replace it. He can use Cut Exit, Protection, averaging, or martingale. I anticipate that's not moral idea only depending on our funds to make the taxation of pairs. It's outgo to bound the losses.

I think for short term trade 30-50 pipes are enough to safe for SL but on long term Generally all are not used SL but if any one trade and want to set SL then i think 100-150 pipes minimum safe for SL. this is only my opinion. you should trade and set your own strategy and plan. it depend on your own business strategy.
This is all dependent on market situation along with margins you might have in Your Exchange account. If you have a big margin and then when moving indicators do not deserve and then there is certainly a time for you to heal the idea.

Sometime it depends on the business trader. Stop loss creates by gaining knowledge, regular study on business, safe investment, experience and his situation on market place. Trader like to reduce his loss. so, he have to follow the roll strictly.
i don't why you don't like stop loss but i am user of stop loss when i am start trading buy or sell so i most use stop loss and also take profit this very nice trick to save your big loss and take profit also is nice because you can't see chart 24 hours.

its depended on your market analysis result. if you analysis all movement of market then set stop lose. its depended how know the market movement. so i say its not matter 50 pips and any other. just know every movement the market then set stop lose.

in my opinion How many pips is safe for SL is depend by our trading strategy and lot size we use.
if we are scalper i think we must more think about risk management, because some trader will make a long of pips in stop loss but only little pips to make take profit.

In trading with the forex then must make cut loss but is important to make good cut loss for trading. If trade with long term then must use cut loss for long term with is much number of pips but if trade with short term then cut loss need not be much but can be 20 pips or 30 pips.

Stop loss depends on different conditions it depends on individual, study his account balance ,his experience etc.So we can not generalize the exact pips for setting stop loss.It depends on situation trader to trader.
after reading a lot on this thread i come to a conclusion that any amount of stop loss is very good as long as
it is according to our trading strategy and we follow it strictly. that is why we must find a good trading strategy and follow the stop loss setting.
I think, all traders took the name SL or Cut Loss. Unless the trader is able to make predictions of the market with perfect precision. But there's no such trader, if he would take no such thing as SL or CL, if not anxious to MC

if the signal system is accurate scalping ... because no1 can profit over and over again ... but where there will be more than 80% accurate .... no one can predict the market correctly .... so better be a snapper. firing rates .. .. through correction correction ...:peace:

the safe stop loss should be 50 pips at least and 100 pips at more . In case of the day traders they may use a stop loss of 500 pips and TP of 1000 pips, but I don't like these trading methods
I believe you should judge preclude loss ideal according to keep and resistance values..It should not be set equivalent the way your are placing..
You should have knowledge some proof and resistivity and then you have to position your cease loss and strike profit
biku23
2012-07-15, 06:25 PM
In my experience what I have read is very easy. That is--SL depends on individual experience, his balance etc. we can't select exact pips for stop loss.It mainly depends on the true traders.

2012-07-15, 07:44 PM
for me the only thing which determines your stop loss is your amount of balance in your trading account if you can afford to lose 100 pips then that should be a stop loss and if are low then 15 pips are better and if you have medium the 40 to 50 pips is enough to lose.

mare 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.
haan 50 pip jyada hi hai kyuki aap agr 50 pip ka margin lekar chal rhe hain aur apke paas balance kam hai to tab bhi apko agar 1 volume par trade karnge to 504 ka loss hoga isliye isse kam hi rakhe

The pips doesn't matter. The strategy will fix how long you can sustain on the stop loss. If you see in some cases once the stop loss touches the triggered trade will be executed and then in a flash it'll go up :D its all the waiting strategy will help.

We should set the same amount of pips as our stop loss and take profits in forex trading. It is the lot size that we have to change so that it can be commensurate with our trading accounts size.
100 to 1,000
2012-07-16, 12:39 PM
the amount of pips that is suitable for us to place in this forex business is different from trader to trader.
and of course the amount will depend on the trading strategy that the trader use. so it is best to consult other
trader who is also using the same strategy that you use.

2012-07-16, 11:44 PM
depending on the time frame that you use to determine the open position. If you open up the position after seeing such a large timeframe 1 hour, then you can specify the minimum 50 pips stop loss. And the smaller the stop loss that you wear, the smaller is also the time frame that you wear,.

how much the specified stop loss, of course, depend on the strength of margin you have. If you monitor a large chart on the timeframe, and then decided to open a position then you should set a stop loss with a high range. But if you look at the chart smaller, then the stop loss should also be minimized

determination is not easy for stop loss.if you missed or did mistake to determine stop loss according to your trading lots size then might be risky.so just focus on it and check it carefully before gonna place.

Usually people keep smaller stop loss as they want to lose least but the other side of this coin is that shorter the stop loss more chances of hitting it due to normal volatility so ensure that there are good reasons to think that your stop will not be triggered in normal volatility or until there is something wrong in your analysis.

actually i don't like to use stop loss because im scalper and follow my trade and focus on my chart bu some times if i want to use stop loss look to the latest candle and see how many pips the market move and put the stop loss according to it .stop loss very important in long term strategy

i agree with you. it depend on a lot of things in this business because we can not just set our stop loss based
on feelings only. we must have accurate level of stop loss based on the trading strategy that we are going to use.

personaly i think that the half of your target is safe for stop loss, for example you can make 50 pips for stop loss and your target shold be 100 pips, but don't forgat that the half of the target is the maximum of stop loss pips
well using stop loss and take profit is a very good strategy in forex ,, that will help you to minimize your losses and to maximize your profits ,, plus with stop loss and take profit
you will have the option to open up a trade and then go and do your other trades as you trades will automatically close

I think, depends on several things, and his type of trader. How large it is relative. This kind of thinking and calculation is part of money management. Some professional traders set a stop loss is proportional to the take profit is 1:3, so the Stop Loss and Take Profit = 1 is 3. If you're trading in the 10 times that 7 times in a row worth 70 points (1x10x7), and you win 3 times worth 90 points (3x10x7) then in total, you still profit by 20 points.

main thing is you have to find out you can be with the trend or against the trend. so some times 30 pips some times 100 pips and for long term people some time they can set to 1000 pips too. you can set how much do you think the pip that needed to confirm that the trend has change.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.

I think that if you are trading in forex with goals and objectives it is possible that you reach your dreams in forex. you must determine cleary the reason why you are trading in forex and what you expect in a determined time.
i say that,
Your present strategy is a terrible way to trade forex. .you say that 500 pips daily is too little, Even though I find Forex fascinating still it's a bit complicated for me being a newbie and all.

I don't think that any SL is safe. You should not think about safe or not safe because losing is part of trading forex. If you are wrong then you wrong and you just move on to the next trade.
i think this is depends on The size of which you trade with
but in general you can put it 20- 30 pips , but if you trade in small time in m1 or m15 not important to put loss stop as my self i use take profit only

sometimes you can set stop loss to 50 pips only and sometime you can make it 200 pips..Its all about your study and market condition..
I am using 20 pips s/l because I don't want to loss so big that is why I control my losses, especially when the trend reverse and the loss become worst if my s/l is huge that is why I only put small s/l on my trades.

Stop Loss is a very good ruler for stopping our losses. It can minimize our losses during trading. But it has also some disadvantages, such as, a big spike can make your profitable trades into losing trades. That's why stop loss feature does not always helps the trader and I generally do not use it.

I used to use margin, and is independent of number of pips, which is 30% of total capital, as if I was not willing to lose more than 30% of my capital in trading, it is a standard rule commonly used by traders. .

The number of pips I consider is actually secure with regard to SL and the quantity of pips I think is usually protected intended. In case you are proffesional dealer, you may get plenty of pips plus more correct solution to observe several pips you will need to get a risk-free quit. You might be continually shedding pips any time investments struck.

I think better to install the SL between 30-50 pips.
My experience using SL of 10-20 pips, but the market actually touching the SL and turned toward ...
so from now on I always install the 30-50pips SL ...
In my experience in forex trading a trader have use stop loss where his loss is 2% and use take profit where his profit is 5%. I always use this formula for trading. But main matter in forex trading is every trade must be open on analysis basis otherwise any theory do not work properly.

Share your views...Hi Everyone, depends on how much funds in the account .., I manage a small fund to tide me my SL 20 pips., and also the same TP 20 pips, if I have another large fund which is sufficient to hold the margin, so I'll play with the intraday and I'll set the SL between 50-75, and if more than that may predict the trend will continue and certainly a long wait for the price will go back.

hello, I just want some assurance, is it easy and very much possible to make consistent 10 pips per day? I believe there will be some losing days, but on average is it easy to make 10 pips per day?
I guess I'm fine if I can consistently make 10 pips per day. Or 50 pips a week.
ToengToeng
2012-07-20, 01:32 PM
It depends actually. For scalpers I think 10 pips would be fair, for intraday traders 15-50 pips, but for investor who tend to hold their position for days or even weeks, even 50-100 pips would be fair. So, you should first adjust it to your trading style and method, also, you should adjust it with the market condition, meaning if the market is volatile, then a higher stop loss might be required, vice versa.
Many traders don't want to use stop loss.They think that it is not good for trading.Because any time, the market price can touch the stop loss point.But they don't think that it can save their account.Anytime account may be zero as market price can change dramatically in a few minutes.So one should obviously use stop loss.He should use it in a long distance so that in normal condition, price does not touch it.

There are so many factors to consider when setting a stop loss like volatility of the pair you are trading, risk to reward ratio and also duration of the trade,your money management style and many others which are numerous to mention. so with this information in mind you can set the stop loss for your trade.

One more thing that should be considered while placing stop loss is the possible reversals of chart and the news. The market movement and volatility is also vary important thing to keep in mind.

some people on other forum that i read have a setup that makes his TP level hard to get hit. that particular trader advises to use 20 pips plus the spread from the broker.
so for instaforex the stop loss is 23 pips. he trades using a 5 minutes time frame and his trading strategy is using breakouts from retracement.
the currency pair that he uses is EURUSD and he claimed that his TP is rarely hit (probably only 5 times in 100 trades). this is a very good setup...

determining the number of pips that will be given time we traded in my opinion it was tailored to our ability to deposit capital and risk management. as a novice trader, we can use the leverage of capital if we are not too many. thus we can make a deal with a lot spreed but the risk is small. suppose we use a stop loss and take profit of 50 points 20 points I think are ideal
I think its all depend on how much you can afford to lose, we need good money management and also we have to check resistance and support levels before we place our stop loss, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

Stoplos goal is to limit losses rather than dodge los drai, if too much is not good in stoplos, will trouble us in doing the management of funds, people who do day trading stoplos the largest is 35 point, because stoplos expected to stop the losses incurred, after kerugoan limited then we will do another analysis to Bebar Bebar achieved what we want in this forex because there is nothing we can do because all the parameters in the forex is to move the motion of the movement must continue if we follow the opposite direction of our trading then this is where we restrict the stoplos that we make. because it's not too much to make stoplos therein.

It is totally depend on the fact that how much lots you are using for your trade and what amount of balance you have. So when you have good balance then you try to trade with high lot and when small amount then you may trade with small lots. so place the stop loss proportionately.
It will depend on the several factors such as we see how much trading capital we have, our strategy will be using and if we are in scalping or long term trading. Definitely, we should set our target profit and stop loss just near to each or close to their ratio so we will have proportion or proper placement of stop loss.
actually stop loss is very important for the traders for achieving their success i think that 50 pip is enough for using stop loss and make profit.

10 pips in my view it's too tightly. That is because with such a stoploss, our SL will often getting touch by market. I taught by my friend if the safest stoploss is stoploss which we determine using the ratio by TP and SL we want to afford. And in that's way the safest stoploss is around 1:4 or the better is 1: 10. Since this ratio will hardly to touched.

stop loss may different by different trder. some use half of the take profit or some use double of take profit or some use manual. but I use double of take profit. this is safe for me. so we can not generalize the exact pips for setting stop loss..it depends on situation to situation and trader to trader

there are different school of thoughts for the stop loss and usually the traders use 2:1 as the safe value for the stop loss.This means that if we have a target of x pips then we must try to have the stop loss as 2x.similarly some of the traders also try to go for 3:1 stop loss value as it can safe guard against the fake and deliberate negative movements.some times the strong traders try to create a dip in the market and snatch the lots from the weak traders so we have to guard against that in the trading.

Actually its depend on your own strategy and business plan. you may can trade short term trade and long term trade and set SL both in different pipes because many traders are use stop loss for short time trade and not use on long term Forex trade. so this is depend on you but i think if you use high volume trade then 50 pipes are safe for short term trade only.

It is not easy to do..and hard to get also, forex is not very easy as it seems to be. It requires a lot of hard work. If you want to make it easy for you then you must have a lot of knowledge about it because without knowledge it is next to impossible to get success in it.

Stop loss is depend on the trade we are doing. If we are going to buy a lot then we have to consider the stop loss as one pip below than the lower price of current candle if its green and if we are going to sell a lot then we have to consider the stop loss as one pip higher than the current candle if its red.
i always setting stop loss and take profit depends on market situation and that stop loss depends on various conditions...it depend on individual study.

stop loss should be 40pips away from the market price
orion
2012-07-23, 06:46 PM
In my view its depends on your profit target & risk management. Actually many traders trade without planning so that in the end of day after calculation they get that loss is big than profit. So if we take a risk management ratio like 1: 2 or 1:3 risk vs reward ratio, i think every can make profit. That means if our target profit is 100pips then stop loss should set at 50pips in 1:2 ratio. Every prediction cant be perfect, so if we count for 10 trade, minimum 40% prediction can be right. so the result is total pips win 80 & total pips lose 60. Finally,there is no risk for losing investment.

It depends on which time frame you are trading on. Needless to say that it depends on other factors as well such as how much capital you have, trend etc. What most important is you have to have the proper understanding about Forex market. That is when you will know what to do take as SL.

Stop losses are very important in a way that you will not understand. The only time i know that stop loss is not necessary is when we have very large amount in our account like 10,000 dollars. Be sure to use it, if you are still profiting, very soon, you will see your losses. Good luck.

Stop loss plays a vital part in foreign exchange as it limits the losses and enlarge the profit ratio. In fact, using 30-40 pips for stop loss is safe for trading not more and some newbies think that it's too much high but using a 50-60 pips isn't too much safer but somehow risky and don't forget about TP/SL ratio.

Using stop loss is also an art and we can change the margin of stop loss in different scenarios. Some times we put it with 40 pips, some other times we use it with 60 pips and some other times we also use stop loss with as many as 200 pips. It all depends upon the situation and the trader themselves should find out the right decision.
I have no specific pips in trading for sell or buy.I follow the news and movement of trade.
Act up to the news and technical analysis I decide my expected pip. I t is out of my capability to select the certain pips.

stop loss varies from trader to trader, it depends on your trading style, if anyone is a swing trader then he must need to have 100 - 150 pips of stop and if you are a day trader then only 40 - 50 pips is enough.

Setting of SL depends on market conditions at present when you open trade as well as number of trades already opened and account balance.

Quantity of stop loss differs due to use of different time frames and different types of trading such as, scalping, day trading, swing trading and position trading. When a trader trades in a very short time period, his stop loss will be very little and when he trades in large time period, his stop loss will be much higher than short time trading stop loss.

stop loss depends on where you enter the market. the 20 pips stop loss setting is a proven setting used by those who are already
making money so this is not just a guess. it is a result of many years of trading and research done by a professional trader. but of course, if
you are using a different trading strategy then this kind of fixed 20 pips SL will be meaningless for you. and it is obvious that you are using
a different strategy than the one that i read. anyway, the point is you have to put the SL according the the trading strategy that you use and this point
has been repeated many times even by me on this thread and also by many other member. so use whatever is suitable for you as long as you can
make more money from it and don't just take anyone's word for granted.

Using stop loss in our everytrade is an option that we have to always take. About how many pips that stop loss should set, Ithink it will very depent on every strategy. Some traders just set it in fix point, but some good trader will just set it in 1 to 5 point above or below his last candle.
