i use pivot zones or support/resistances to calculate profit and loss levels.
or sometimes i use predefined values to calculate the values.
i use fixed ratio of Profit loss level like 2:1.

it depends on the support and resistance levels, you could not judge them by yours own, if you have time to sit before computer for long time then you have no need to set it. just see the market, and just close yours position at that time when you will get yours desirable profit, or loss that you could easily afford.

I do not have a definite count to determine the point of SL and TP, I just saw the market conditions that occurred at the time. but I installed SL for 50pips to give wiggle room on prices that may occur floating minus.

I always set my SL and TP according to resistance and support levels of a currency pair. Suppose if I am opening a long position then my TP will be just below the resistance levels and my SL will be a little below the support level.

Correct calculation of stop loss and take profits are very important for our positions to get a good profit and also to minimize the losses if the position are running against the market. So how do you calculate these sl and tp targets?

to place a stop loss and take profit I use the Bollinger band. if my order is a buy, I use the lower band as a stop loss. and if my order is a sell then I use the upper band as a stop loss.
while the medium band usually I use to take profit.

i do stop loss and take profit according to my strategy it is not fixed ,it is about the indicators when my deal opened i do not close the deal until i will be sure that the price will not keep on direction than close the deal and open opposite of this deal.

Many ways to calculate its,support and resistance are the main things i used to set SL and TP orders,but i suggest for all traders to set SL not higher than TP
so you will have some if you have loss,because in fact,there is no 100% win in trades

every time I open a position, I always use a ratio of 1: 2, for example: if I put a stop loss 50 pips then I put a take profit of 100 pips. for me it will be very influential when I was able to read the movement.

I have simple calculation with my position and that is using a setting of 20 stop loss and my target profit is from 15 to 20 pips. I always have 20 pips target profit but if the market wont give me that I just settle for 15 or 10 pips. What matter most is that I earn some pure profits.
i put my take profit as 20pip but stop loss i did not put it until this time because i use small lot size and there is no risk or big loss because the market will not move big movement against me and if do it will come back agin.

i think that you must make the stop loss on your open position because stop loss can make you being safe while you are trading, if you do not use any of the stop loss it also make us got the loss ,and we know that is not good for our trading if we are also got the big loss and big floating inside, and do not use the stop loss can possible make us got the margin call

I would simply look on the range it is trading in, and will set my target accordingly,
If i am watching the trade i may even close my trade when i see i am in good profit even if it did not hit target so far,
and when i did not have time to watch, i set an stop loss too expecting to hit my pre-defined target.

2012-03-10, 08:38 PM
I always set a target profit and loss in a 1:1 ratio. usually to take profit 50 pips and 50 pips stop loss. if it has reached 20 pips profit then I immediately change the stop loss to the (+1) pip. This I do to avoid the loss, if the price reverses direction

Its good to apply SL and TP levels according to support and resistance levels, i too apply my SL and Tp according to these levels but sometimes when i need quick profit i apply TP on 10 or 20 **** and SL depends on the situation on the market.

rajesh
2012-03-12, 12:35 PM
To set the SL and TP with the ratio of 1:2 isn't good in my view, to get help with fibs points is great. If our TP is 20 **** than our SL will be 10 ****? We cannot apply 100 **** profit in every position.

I would rather say that take profit is the key to traders success. Though the stop los minimize your risk, it still ensures that you take a loss. The take profit however is what ensures that your trade gets to the desired profit if your signal is right.

Correct calculation of stop loss and take profits are very important for our positions to get a good profit and also to minimize the losses if the position are running against the market. So how do you calculate these sl and tp targets?

SL is a loss limit our responsibility as a courageous Treder and if you ask how do the calculations to determine the answer depends on personal SL from the daring Treder is what he spent on each OP .. and to determine the TP can be seen by looking at the trends and history of the movement prices in each TF, for example if you are OP at GBPUSD pair TF1 hours and a history of price movements in the TF is not more dari100 pips may ideally you should install the TP 30pips ..

If you place stop loss according to Fibonacci levels where you money management will go in this case. If you are following money management you will have to place your stop loss according to your risk level that you are intended to take for the trade.

narendra

yes,stop loss is best only if our Tp aim is like 300-400 pips.otherwise if we target for 30pips and trailing stop is 15 pips means ,then there is possibility for us to get no profit or only half of profits.

for trade that I made, I should be able to calculate how much amount of trade that I will make and how much risk. I always use a risk 3% of my capital. I use SL to 30 pps, only for profit 10 pps. It is a strategy that I use for this

lode

for me calculating stoplose and take profit exactly is impossible, what we did is throu pattern recognition with the help of some handy indicators.
if we you support and resistant thats the best method to visually apply take profit and stoplose.
yes this is true i agree with you we can not get the stop loss and the take profit exactly because every situation and every movement in forex have special stop loss and special take profit.

i've never had a spesific amount on putting the stop loss or profit, i'm just using risk reward ratio as my guide. that's what i'm concerned more. And this risk reward ratio adjusting with my time frame, the bigger time frame then the bigger risk reward ratio i used, and vice versa.

Yes you should set you trade with stop loss and take profit. It will help you a lot. I think it is very good habit to set stop loss and take profit. I set my stop loss and take profit with support and resistance level. It is very important how you set it. You need some analysis when to entry and when to exit.

Since i am a day trader so mostly i look at weekly and daily session highs and lows. This gives me a clear picture of what the market range is. Next i calculate the total height (in pips). Then i compare it with my trading plan. i plan a 5% risk every trade so if it meets the requirement on a certain level, i wait for the pull-back to occur. Once it does i place a pending order and trade. I day traded a recently on EUR/USD and bought it 2 days ago and now i am 175 pips up.



Correct calculation of stop loss and take profits are very important for our positions to get a good profit and also to minimize the losses if the position are running against the market. So how do you calculate these sl and tp targets?

ermaniso2011
2012-03-22, 12:10 PM
it is depend on your strategy.if you are scalping then you have to choose the nearest high or low for your stoploose.or you can also use pivot points which will show you the middle line and support and resistant for that day.it will help you to place your stoploose and take profit settings.so there are so many ways can be useful.just dont place your SL and TP random and fixed pips.it will not help you.

Yes stop loss and take profit are very important for every newbies trader. But for use this you need to get good point. I was used it on previous but everytime i get wrong point because most of the time market touched my stop loss point then it come back. So right now i did not like to use this.

In this case you should follow double up stop loss just put your TP in Ziazag indicators based if 30 pips (for example) then SL in 60 pips, I think this line will give you good trading cause we are always experienced like you that stop loss when touch then pairs in our trading position, I own experience is TP is very much essential cause some pinbar will not be manually taken by us but TP point will perfectly caught it.

2012-04-06, 01:39 PM
I usually trade with take profit of 20-25 pips normally. And about the SL I first analyze the trends and look for the lowest or highest that trend moves up to. Then depending upon I am going to sell or buy, I set SL suitable to may trade.

honestly, i seldom to use stop loss at my trading but i did set the "take profit" with relevant and easy touched by the price,
and the key here is i have to patient to wait good moment to put the order at the right track and it is necessary to pay attention until i see the right entry point for OP
and because i am a scalper, so my little target is always touched by the market...and if i face unwanted condition, i prefer to use hedging system for my trading to overcome this condition

I use Fibonacci levels to determine the SL and TP. I can say I put SL and TP to the support and resistance levels. because in my opinion, all of the currency movements will follow the movement of Fibonacci as places stops.

To calculate stop loss and take profit depends on your system. you can use fibonacci levels to do it or support and resistance levels. For me i use the two levels i stated above and sometimes i use reward to risk ratio and it is usually 2:1

viky
2012-04-06, 10:17 PM
I may depend on the chart in that case to detect the risk reward ratio
according to it i will put my TP & SL values
but anyway I don't like using SL, because it may really make you miss a chance for profit
& it is not good during the time of news

I have set my daily profit and loss targets. I earn 10-UD$ daily if I feel market is going against me and I have 2% loss of my actual capital then I close my trading account. This policy helps me in earn more profits, minimize my loses and manager money.

2012-04-08, 03:01 PM
i use pivot zones or support/resistances to calculate profit and loss levels.
or sometimes i use predefined values to calculate the values.
i use fixed ratio of Profit loss level like 2:1.

viky
2012-04-08, 03:04 PM
i think this ratio is not good.If you win and lose consecutively your net profit will be netural.So what ever you lose should be half of the last trades profit or even loss than that.
so that if you win 2 trades and lose 1 trade you will have some profit with you at last.

ritesh
2012-04-08, 03:21 PM

yes,stop loss is best only if our Tp aim is like 300-400 pips.otherwise if we target for 30pips and trailing stop is 15 pips means ,then there is possibility for us to get no profit or only half of profits.

wow. target that you use as examples are very high. how long you will gain 300-400 pips? I can make sure you include longterm trader. it means that your margin is large enough, so you are ready with floating (possible) till 1000

Usually stop loss is calculated as half to take a profit is equal to the proportion of 1: 2
And must know that stop-loss varies from trader to another and varies from time frame to time frame last

target that is large enough if it is 30 pips per / trading in a day and if your target is 10 times or more open positions, then I think it's a very big target. Let's not forget to put stop losses with a ratio of 1/3 compared to the target take profit

it is depend on your strategy.if you are scalping then you have to choose the nearest high or low for your stoploose.or you can also use pivot points which will show you the middle line and support and resistant for that day.it will help you to place your stoploose and take profit settings.so there are so many ways can be useful.just dont place your SL and TP random and fixed pips.it will not help you.

i think this ratio is not good.If you win and lose consecutively your net profit will be netural.So what ever you lose should be half of the last trades profit or even loss than that.
so that if you win 2 trades and lose 1 trade you will have some profit with you at last.

You may start with something simple, set the Take Profit as the same amount of pips as Stop Loss. If your Stop Loss is 50 pips, set your Take Profit as 50 pips too. You may also set multiple Take Profits for your trend trades as a multiple of the amount of pips for your Stop Loss. If your Stop Loss is 60 pips, set your first Take Profit as 60 pips, second Take Profit as 120 pips and third Take Profit as 180 pips.

USing risk in reward ratio 1;2 are really good risk and reward ratio my friend, so if from 10 open position we loss 5 time and win 5 time at the end we still win and generate profit.. By doing this proper risk and reward ratio we can make our trading strategy more profitable.

Well, actually trade calculates these things ... or the market does it. First of all, you gotta know that the trade in particular that you are executing ... how many pips it require in stop loss ... that will decide the size of your pip value i.e., the size of lot that you will trade and the potential of the market for that day will tell you as to how many pips you should seek in profit. Now it won't be sensible that you trade a standard lot and stop loss takes up lion's share of your principle and you put a profit target just because your r:r is 1:2 that market can never get there ... and you turn your would-be profits into the market itself. So trade wisely is the keyword here.

I usually use fixed take profit and stop loss in my trading. The fixed tp and sl are 20 pips and 40 pips respectively. And my calculations are that if open 10 positions, for example, and I win 7 positions and lose 3 positions then it means that i lost 120 points and I earn 140 points. So in net I get 20 points in the end.

ayusri
2012-05-11, 09:08 PM
if we can spend as little money to stoplos if day trading 40 points is the limit of tolerance that we can choose but if sclaping antra of 20 points are still within tolerance, because we can not take 10 points stoplos to sclaping because akn quickly moved and after that curency will be directly behind the direction and ultimately be profitable if we do not make stoplos with a short period. or we can also measure it with a lot of how we calculate the margin we calculated earlier.

How many pips the stop loss is, and how often does it hit? The latter is much crucial to your success than the first. Some traders use stop loss bigger than their take profit and still make money, just the same as those who use stop loss less than their take profit target.

If we r trading with the trend then we will place the stop loss at such a place where the trend gets broken (5-10 pips below the breakout )and place the take profit at such a place where the resistence is high (5-10 pips below the resistance)and the price will reverse from that point.

Calculate stop loss and profit taking account of these processes depends on you a trader and depend on the strategy adopted by the terms of entry and exit points. So I see that this process vary from store to another. It is very essential to calculate his loss or profit after trade. It depends on someone's forecasting power.

If someone is making profit there has to be somebody who has lost that money in business these things are common and unavoidable. Someone profit is somebody else's loss.
By following money management rules we can keep most of the disadvantages affecting our equity

It was mentioned above that many factors come into play when it comes to measuring the gains and losses of a trader. We will seeeach in detail before making an example to illustrate this explanation.A pip is the unit used to measure the Forex exchange rate variationof a currency pair. It is expressed from the last decimal place quoted.For example, if the pair EUR / USD rises to 1.2820 at 1.2850, we say that the euro has just won 30 pips. By convention the Forex market, the value of a pip is 10 usd, whatever the pair invested. Sowith our example above, the value of these 30 pips fluctuation is300usd for the trader.

Some use random numbers as their stop-loss and take profit target.. But it will be good if you have some kind of confirmation for those levels.. Like trendline, Moving Averages, Pivot points etc.. so that the chance of getting a hit by your stop-loss can decrease while your winning chance can increase at the same time..

I think stop loss and TP is depend on your money management. you should calculate with your risk and reward ratio too. for me, I always put my stop loss and Tp 2:1.

Correct calculation of stop loss and take profits are very important for our positions to get a good profit and also to minimize the losses if the position are running against the market. So how do you calculate these sl and tp targets?

Calculating take profit, we can use our fibonacci for projections. Fibonacci expansion can help us address take profit targets while we can also see points that price reversed before and we can set our targets below those points.

stop loss and the take profit is a type of scalping. the calculation of stop loss generally you have to take on the basis of market situation and your expectation. i think 30 pips is well for stop loss to minimize the risk.but vary from individual to individual.
