How do you calculate stop loss and take profit targets?

[mayengbam]

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?

I just want to get profit 20 pips in one day was minimal and could be more depending on how the market on that day but sometimes I put it about SL in the lowest or the highest price that day

[arjun]

I sometimes use the area snr sometimes I do it with a fixed point.
depending on the situation at that time.

[denira]

I sometimes use the area snr sometimes I do it with a fixed point.
depending on the situation at that time.

we can not determine with certainty where we will put the stop loss and take profit because the market dynamic in nature so we just follow what the price is at that time

[anubhavsingh]

I just want to get profit 20 pips in one day was minimal and could be more depending on how the market on that day but sometimes I put it about SL in the lowest or the highest price that day

Mere khayal se stop loss aur take profit ki koi fix value nahi hoti
ye dono cheeze support aur resistance se decide ki jati hai..jaise ki aapki buying deal ka tp uska next resistance ke pas hona chahiey aur uska sl uske next support ke paas
Issi strategy se kafi log market me trade karte hai

[pinpin]

if I usually target 30 pips
but it also saw the situation, if indeed the situation to support, I will remove the take profit and stop loss advancing to maximize profits

agree using support and resistance areas as sl and tp is a good way to trade, in fact there are different methods that people use to set these targets and i this thread is showing me how people are using different techniques to set these sl and tp targets

[zoomfire]

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.

[alwi]

Losses are part and parcel of the customs and forex trading. For me, if there is no loss, not the business name. But, we need to know how to control the losses from growing.

[medhat4forex]

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

[denira]

need is to open a demo account to practice and help us understand the market for free without fear of losing

that's one benefit you do the exercises on a demo account without you afraid to lose and to note also is this good for the beginner

[soumen]

main market ke hisab se sl and tp thik karta hoon. par main most of time 30 pips ka target rakhta hoon. aur kabhi kabhi isse thoda kam ya jyada.

[mayengbam]

Well its entertaining as well as enlightening to read this thread. some of the traders are using random figures for the sl and tp targets and some use calculations to set the targets. i personally also use fibo most of the time to calculate the sl and tp targets and i also occasionally use random targets when i have enough time to spend on trading. but the point is its very important to use these targets in all our positions

[pipsdragon]

Yes, while placing stop loss traders should keep in mind the risk and reward ratio. Your risk and reward ration should be at least 1:2 if you can increase this ration much better.

that is come back to trader opinion, for me risk and reward ratio 1:1 is comfortable. bep if i got profit one time and loss one time.

[zoomfire]

that is come back to trader opinion, for me risk and reward ratio 1:1 is comfortable. bep if i got profit one time and loss one time.

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.

[dead]

so that if you win 2 trades and lose 1 trade you will have some profit with you at last.
our purpose in trading is to maximize profits and suppress the loss conditions that we face so we have the ability to earn greater than the loss proft

[ganguly]

[soumen]

I am worried dragon you are not doing well. It is not good to have 1:1 risk and reward ratio. The reward should be double to your risk. It will give you more chances of winning. It is not wise to loose same amount that you want to win. If you are willing to lose $10 your reward for this risk should be at least double $ 20. I will suggest 1:3 ratio for all traders.
thik kaha aapne.
waise mere khyal se tp ki first chota target rakhe . aur aap agar sahi entry lihe to stop loss utna rakh sakte he jitna ki aapke tp he. main jyada tar samay 30 to 50 sl rakh ta hoon. aur tp bhi aisa hi hota he. kabhi isse bara aur kabhi isse kam tp bhi li he. par sl ek jaisa he. aur balance kam ho to chota volume pe trade kare isse balance thik rahe ga.

[anitagala124]

I always use a fixed stop loss and a take profit of 30 pips. That is a amount i'm willing to loose and the profit is enough for me.

[nilu]

Its depend on the money management or its depend on the analysis but some people blindly follow some round figures to put SL and TP.

[nilu]

I surf the 1 hour waves, but keep a fixed 100 pip SL while surfing, so my loss is limited but my profits are endless as long as the wave lasts.

I also traded some trades without take profit but i am sure i haven't got much profit in those trades, Its better to keep SL and TP based on analysis.

[carimas888]

i just target my profit about 50 pips for every transaction and my stop loss about 100 pips.just one position per day.i dont need more trade.just trade safe.

[nilu]

i just target my profit about 50 pips for every transaction and my stop loss about 100 pips.just one position per day.i dont need more trade.just trade safe.

But what is the money management system you are following? here risk to reward ratio is 1:2, and system is some what safe because only one trade per day.

[anubhavsingh]

I surf the 1 hour waves, but keep a fixed 100 pip SL while surfing, so my loss is limited but my profits are endless as long as the wave lasts.

fixed sl rakhna sahi nahi hota
ye sow karta hai ki aapko forex ke basics nahi pata hai
forex ke basic ke hisab se hamesha support aur resistance ko dekh ke sl rakhna chahaiye ..koi fix value nahi hoti sl ki

i agree dude its better to calculate the sl and tp targets instead of some random figures but some people prefer to set a fixed target in all positions. And this method is not innovative in my opinion and its better to have some calculations using some techniques

[mayengbam]

I always use a fixed stop loss and a take profit of 30 pips. That is a amount i'm willing to loose and the profit is enough for me.

that means you are a short term trader and looking for small profits. but when one comes across a trend and closes their positions for 30pips only is as guilty as holding on to a losing trade. so in my opinion sl and 'tp targets should be dynamic

[zoomfire]

that is good.and i suggest you to use pivot lines to calculate profit and stop loss as sometimes there will be possibility of the market to move more than 30pips.so add Pivots and you may get more pips also :)

[denira]

that means you are a short term trader and looking for small profits. but when one comes across a trend and closes their positions for 30pips only is as guilty as holding on to a losing trade. so in my opinion sl and 'tp targets should be dynamic

I agree with you that somehow we can not set TP and SL installation by default because the market is changing and always have different conditions as well and I think this is a consideration for the placement of the SL and TP dynamically

[diesel1984]

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?

If the price is above the pivot point you can close the order at that level. You can take long positions with stop-loss below the pivot point and profit targets a few points below R1. But if prices rise strongly and penetrate R1, stop-loss could be raised and placed under the R1 while it shifts to the target profit level R2.

The strength of support and resistance levels at various pivot is determined by how many times a price reaches that level and then reverse.

[mayengbam]

exactly dude we are dealing with a everchanging market so our targets should be dynamic and suit the market conditions well. our targets should be flexible enough to accumulate more profits and minimise the loses. only then we will be able to survive and gain in this business

[zoomfire]

Before you go looking for that perfect trailing stop loss, realize that it’s very much like the initial stop. There is no perfect stop that’s going to get you out and save you the most profit. Sometimes it’ll work for you. Other times it won’t. In fact, the real key and the real secret of having a stop loss and an initial stop in place is that it’s not how you calculate it, rather it’s just having one in place.

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.

[Victoryindia]

i agree dude its better to calculate the sl and tp targets instead of some random figures but some people prefer to set a fixed target in all positions. And this method is not innovative in my opinion and its better to have some calculations using some techniques

wo log hamesha problem me aa jaate hai kyunki take profit and stop loss ko resistance and support level dekar lagaya jaaye to jaldi hi apna take profit touch ho sakte hai

[mayengbam]

wo log hamesha problem me aa jaate hai kyunki take profit and stop loss ko resistance and support level dekar lagaya jaaye to jaldi hi apna take profit touch ho sakte hai

ya i agree, resistance and support areas are good places to set the tp and sl targets since many people closely follow these areas and normally targets set in these are hit most of the time. so support and resistance areas are a good way to set targets

[siddesh]

You use the SL/TP ratio to set your target profits that you need. If you target 100 pips, then your SL should be about 50 pips.

[mayengbam]

You use the SL/TP ratio to set your target profits that you need. If you target 100 pips, then your SL should be about 50 pips.

its another way to set the targets used by traders but i would prefer to set the targets using support and resistance or fibo. because in my opinion its always right and beneficial if targets are set on calculation.

[anubhavsingh]

well said brother
fibonoci ke hisab se bhi support aur resistence calculate kiya ja sakta hai
iske liye apko forex ke basics ko ache se samjhna padega tabhi ap in sab cheeo ko samjh paoge

[waheedpcc]

mein be aik new tradder hon or ye janena chahta hun aik pips ki vaule know ka asan or she way kia ha so any body like to tell me the way

[realfun07]

I usually calculate my profits and Stop loss depending on the trade and point of entry in the trade.Also if I aim at profits of 30 pips then I set up Stop Loss at 10 pips.Also different trades have different targets and when i do scalping it is just few pips as profits and Stop Loss is also accordingly.

[Ganesh]

well i think we cannot exactly determine the sl and tp values coz it depens upon the market movement so it is not exactly possible to be using a certain sl and tp strategy every single time, this is what i think, correct me if i am wrong

[Ronak]

stopp loss and take profit is major factor of trading..well mein to sl and tp fibonacci technic se decide karta hoon kyun ki fibonacci stretegy famous hai trader ke bich mein aur who 90 % succesfull hoti hai..

[Ganesh]

stopp loss and take profit is major factor of trading..well mein to sl and tp fibonacci technic se decide karta hoon kyun ki fibonacci stretegy famous hai trader ke bich mein aur who 90 % succesfull hoti hai..
i had just recently been through this technic but i never used it by now and i never knew that it was 90% successful rate so now that i got to know it i will surely give it try than depending on other parameters and signals

[mayengbam]

i had just recently been through this technic but i never used it by now and i never knew that it was 90% successful rate so now that i got to know it i will surely give it try than depending on other parameters and signals

yeah using fibo retracement and extentions to detrmine the sl and tp target is a good way to trade. and most of the time the targets seems pretty good. but like other methods its also not a sure shot way but many trders use it

[jai]

I like to use the lows of the previous 3 candles for the stop loss and 10-50 pips for the take profit depending on how large the time frame for the chart is.

[mayengbam]

I always use a fixed stop loss and a take profit of 30 pips. That is a amount i'm willing to loose and the profit is enough for me.

i would say its better to learn using support & resistance or fibo to calculate these targets and the targets set using these techniques happen to be correct most of the times.

[cumil]

I always use a fixed stop loss and a take profit of 30 pips. That is a amount i'm willing to loose and the profit is enough for me.

yes ... This really nice,. you should, you've done two very good, which is money management and emotional management, if you are willing to lose money regardless of size, then you already have a good emotional management, because you have to control your emotions

[mayengbam]

but i still beleive that its always better to have some sort of calculations instead of some random figures. i am not saying that setting a fixed target is wrong, many traders do it that way also. but to have some more accurate target is beneficial. Earlier whaen i used fixed targets, I had my positions closed on a loss many times because the stop loss target was touched first before it went passed my take profit target

[mayengbam]

I just want to get profit 20 pips in one day was minimal and could be more depending on how the market on that day but sometimes I put it about SL in the lowest or the highest price that day

setting the targets in the higest and lowest price of the same day is not a good idea. because the lowest and the highest price of the same day changes frequently espicially when the market is ranging.

[gosians]

Mera stop loss aksar support and resistance level sy thora up hota hy. aur take profit depend krta hy k ma long term position open kr raha hon ya short term. Short term mn TP 20 pips hota hy aur long term main vary krta hy.

[mayengbam]

Mera stop loss aksar support and resistance level sy thora up hota hy. aur take profit depend krta hy k ma long term position open kr raha hon ya short term. Short term mn TP 20 pips hota hy aur long term main vary krta hy.

support and resistance is a good method which can be use to set the tp and sl targets. the areas around the supposrt and resistance which may be 5-15 pips higher or lower are good regions to set the targets

[imbest]

You are right that this is very good way of making your targets as 70% of the traders are thinking like that so the price will also move accordingly but you have to keep an eye on the news as well and try to take advantage from the fundamental analysis as well.

[gosians]

support and resistance is a good method which can be use to set the tp and sl targets. the areas around the supposrt and resistance which may be 5-15 pips higher or lower are good regions to set the targets

Yeah its good method to apply SL and TP. Kuch traders lower low ya higher high ko SL bnaty hen, mery khyal sy ye b ak acha tareeka hy SL apply krny ka but ic main mjy ye idea nhi k wo TP fix set krty hen ya kisi aur method sy apply krty hen.

[nsawork]

Both the calculations of the Stop loss as well as take profits actually depends on the trade itself. We have to learn and then apply them into our trades.

Normally when trading using the Fundamentals we can set a Take profit of 100 pips and then a stop loss of 30 pips. Sometimes we need to use a less TP = 50 pips when we know that the movements in the markets will not be much.

[mayengbam]

whatever method one uses, its always better to have these targets on every position we open. Though i still believe that some sort of calculation is always better to have than a random figure as the target, we should set these targets in every trade even if it is a random figure. this will help in minimizing the loss and to consolidate the balance

[venkiaries61]

I think its better to put target 20 pips. It will easily achieved. If you target small target, there is no necessary for stop loss. In case, you want to use stop loss. Analyze the market reversal conditions and place stop loss.

[anubhavsingh]

I also traded some trades without take profit but i am sure i haven't got much profit in those trades, Its better to keep SL and TP based on analysis.

SL aur TP hamesha analyse ke bad hi set karna chahiaye..zadatar tarder aiseh i koi bhi random value leke SL aur TP set kar dete hai
Thik se market analyse ke bad support aur resistance dekhne ke bad hi SL aur TP set karan chahaiye...set karne ke baad aisan ahi ki aap free ho gaye ho amrket se..apko us trade pe lagatar nazar bhi rakhni chahaiye

[mayengbam]

I think its better to put target 20 pips. It will easily achieved. If you target small target, there is no necessary for stop loss. In case, you want to use stop loss. Analyze the market reversal conditions and place stop loss.

Its ok if you wish to set a tp target of 20 pips to every position but i will also add that setting sl is also very essential, if left the position running and somehow you could not monitor your positions and if the market goes in opposite direction of your trade(which happens frequently) there is a big chance that you will get a MC if you capital is less or a big loss even if you have a big capital

[sanjeev]

Just perfect. No fixed lot size, only fixed risk. I can only add that in my case if I see that the SL in pips from entry point will be so wide as to cause use of extremely tiny volume, I can pass that trade and wait for another opportunity.

[mayengbam]

Just perfect. No fixed lot size, only fixed risk. I can only add that in my case if I see that the SL in pips from entry point will be so wide as to cause use of extremely tiny volume, I can pass that trade and wait for another opportunity.

yes using a fixed sl means taking a fixed risk and its always advisable to have these targets instead of having none. i have faced big loses and mc many times due to not having these targets. so its very important to set sl and tp targets

[BojanHajdinjak]

Iam using dynamic stops and dynamic take profits.
Some traders calling them "menthal stops or menthal targets" but its not the same.
Dynamic stop or dynamic target meays, to going out of trades when you see opposite signal
than is direction of your position. In most casses profit/loss ratio is thinner than
with fixed stops or take profits and you can have too wide stop al too small take profit like that.
But when market changes his character, stops and targets are automaticly adjusted on
new market conditions.
Many traders who are looking into my trades in real time, think, I have no stops and take profits.
But Iam booking profit all the time and sometime Iam clossing some positions in loss - regardless
suma profit of all positions tohether have to be in profit.

[imbest]

yes using a fixed sl means taking a fixed risk and its always advisable to have these targets instead of having none. i have faced big loses and mc many times due to not having these targets. so its very important to set sl and tp targets

So you have lost many time due to this reason. You don't seem to learn from your mistakes. I have also lost in initial day by not setting the SL but I put it now in my each trade. I faced loss recently because I have not put TP so it is also important.

[swallow2000]

SL aur TP hamesha analyse ke bad hi set karna chahiaye..zadatar tarder aiseh i koi bhi random value leke SL aur TP set kar dete hai
Thik se market analyse ke bad support aur resistance dekhne ke bad hi SL aur TP set karan chahaiye...set karne ke baad aisan ahi ki aap free ho gaye ho amrket se..apko us trade pe lagatar nazar bhi rakhni chahaiye

Mostly i like to do as you said. Once i open my position then i observerd the market then i use my stop loss and take profit and if necessary then i change it time by time

[gosians]

Mostly i like to do as you said. Once i open my position then i observerd the market then i use my stop loss and take profit and if necessary then i change it time by time

I think its not good to change your stop loss point. I mean you don't need to move stop loss if the price is going to touch you SL. Just accept the loss and plan for the next position that how can you recover your loss and earn some extra pips.

[ganguly]

I always use a fixed stop loss and a take profit of 30 pips. That is a amount i'm willing to loose and the profit is enough for me.

agree, its not the right way to trade to change the sl since its nearing the sl price. instead its better to plan opening another position accepting the loss. Yes we should learn to accept the loss gracefully just like we accept wins

[jai]

I like to use the lows of the previous 3 candles for the stop loss and 10-50 pips for the take profit depending on how large the time frame for the chart is.

[sachin]

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?

Actually it reduce loss if there is big movement against us and if not use sl . anyway although it take time to get handsome profit but if we see risk factor then its not bad because if we go slow then its true able to servive on forex and when go long time then our experience also grow.

[netra]

main market ke hisab se sl and tp thik karta hoon. par main most of time 30 pips ka target rakhta hoon. aur kabhi kabhi isse thoda kam ya jyada.

[akshayfuriya]

do not be greedy to take profits in forex trading ..
and not too much to let that happen to a floating minus your transaction ..
better do it all with your trading plan and always faithful to this

Agree, sl is a good means to stay long in this business. And if we are able to survive here definitely good trading experience will be gain which will open up many opportunites for us

[SG Trader]

yeah, i agree with you, also greedy in our trade can make blow our account.
certainly anyone not hoping like that, so we must avoid it with a lot of training

[blackprince4u]

Agree, sl is a good means to stay long in this business. And if we are able to survive here definitely good trading experience will be gain which will open up many opportunites for us

Well using stop loss at bad prices also bring serious losses.Some people place sl at large distances so when the price moves against them they lost a lot of their equity. Its is a bad thing.

[greenmedia]

No definite dibisnis this, as well as take into account when we make a profit and how much we have to limit losses.
The experience speaks for this.

[Jazpa]

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?

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.

[chirayu]

I always use a fixed stop loss and a take profit of 30 pips. That is a amount i'm willing to loose and the profit is enough for me.

[sunil]

the best thing to do is to set the SL at the extreme level or at S/R or S/D level.
some traders have different opinions and it is better to use the one that is suited for our trading method.

[mayengbam]

support and resistance areas are good reson to set the sl and tp targets. many follow this simple rules and are good in most of the times. so its a perfect way to start using it for aspirants to use in their positions. it will give good results by cutting losses and giving good profits

[aniket]

yeah using fibo retracement and extentions to detrmine the sl and tp target is a good way to trade. and most of the time the targets seems pretty good. but like other methods its also not a sure shot way but many trders use it

[aniket]

stopp loss and take profit is major factor of trading..well mein to sl and tp fibonacci technic se decide karta hoon kyun ki fibonacci stretegy famous hai trader ke bich mein aur who 90 % succesfull hoti hai..

well i think we cannot exactly determine the sl and tp values coz it depens upon the market movement so it is not exactly possible to be using a certain sl and tp strategy every single time, this is what i think, correct me if i am wrong

[s19]

well i think we cannot exactly determine the sl and tp values coz it depens upon the market movement so it is not exactly possible to be using a certain sl and tp strategy every single time, this is what i think, correct me if i am wrong
friend you are right that we cannot exactly determine our stop loss and take profit point. but we always try to make every trade profitable. we fix SL & TP accourding to our trading system because that is our last limit in determine the maket.
In your case TP may be reduce our profit level but we got sussessful trading. SL save more loss if your analysis going to be wrong. fix sl & tp accourding to resistance & support

[sachin]

Both the calculations of the Stop loss as well as take profits actually depends on the trade itself. We have to learn and then apply them into our trades.

[s19]

I do calculate my equity according to my desired lot size before placing any order. I do trades for longer versions. That's why I need to follow a good money management system. Its not wise to let our accounts fell into danger zone with higher risk levels. Actually my TP target is 100 pips for minimum while I don't use any SL. Because my money management allows me to hold my positions for long time trading. In adverse cases I use hedging to save my account.

i also do trading accourding to you..my trading system is also for more then 100pips..
but my capital investment low so i use low lot size and dont avoide stop loss.
my stop loss is next resistance & support + 20 pips hota hai..but i always put..because i have a bad experienc of dont using SL

[rajesh]

mein be aik new tradder hon or ye janena chahta hun aik pips ki vaule know ka asan or she way kia ha so any body like to tell me the way

[ketan]

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.

[aniket]

that is good.and i suggest you to use pivot lines to calculate profit and stop loss as sometimes there will be possibility of the market to move more than 30pips.so add Pivots and you may get more pips also

[aniket]

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.

As I am in learning stages of forex trading so till now what I had learned about placing take profit and stop loss values is that to place it in accordance with fibo values. I make an entry according to support and resistance value and then I calculate stop loss and take profit by the upper and lower fibo value that falls near my entry.

[patil]

waise mere khyal se tp ki first chota target rakhe . aur aap agar sahi entry lihe to stop loss utna rakh sakte he jitna ki aapke tp he. main jyada tar samay 30 to 50 sl rakh ta hoon. aur tp bhi aisa hi hota he. kabhi isse bara aur kabhi isse kam tp bhi li he. par sl ek jaisa he. aur balance kam ho to chota volume pe trade kare isse balance thik rahe ga.

[patil]

मैं सिर्फ लाभ मिलता है एक दिन में 20 pips के न्यूनतम था चाहते हैं और अधिक कैसे उस दिन बाजार है, लेकिन कभी कभी मैं यह SL बारे में सबसे कम उस दिन डाल या उच्चतम मूल्य के आधार पर किया जा सकता है

[arihant]

I also traded some trades without take profit but i am sure i haven't got much profit in those trades, Its better to keep SL and TP based on analysis.

[arihant]

Its depend on the money management or its depend on the analysis but some people blindly follow some round figures to put SL and TP.

[arihant]

But what is the money management system you are following? here risk to reward ratio is 1:2, and system is some what safe because only one trade per day.

[nikhil]

main market ke hisab se sl and tp thik karta hoon. par main most of time 30 pips ka target rakhta hoon. aur kabhi kabhi isse thoda kam ya jyada.

[nikhil]

thik kaha aapne.
waise mere khyal se tp ki first chota target rakhe . aur aap agar sahi entry lihe to stop loss utna rakh sakte he jitna ki aapke tp he. main jyada tar samay 30 to 50 sl rakh ta hoon. aur tp bhi aisa hi hota he. kabhi isse bara aur kabhi isse kam tp bhi li he. par sl ek jaisa he. aur balance kam ho to chota volume pe trade kare isse balance thik rahe ga.

[vineet]

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.

[chintan]

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.

[vineet]

Mostly i like to do as you said. Once i open my position then i observerd the market then i use my stop loss and take profit and if necessary then i change it time by time

[bhanu]

SL aur TP hamesha analyse ke bad hi set karna chahiaye..zadatar tarder aiseh i koi bhi random value leke SL aur TP set kar dete hai
Thik se market analyse ke bad support aur resistance dekhne ke bad hi SL aur TP set karan chahaiye...set karne ke baad aisan ahi ki aap free ho gaye ho amrket se..apko us trade pe lagatar nazar bhi rakhni chahaiye

[narendra]

agree using support and resistance areas as sl and tp is a good way to trade, in fact there are different methods that people use to set these targets and i this thread is showing me how people are using different techniques to set these sl and tp targets

[narendra]

Well its entertaining as well as enlightening to read this thread. some of the traders are using random figures for the sl and tp targets and some use calculations to set the targets. i personally also use fibo most of the time to calculate the sl and tp targets and i also occasionally use random targets when i have enough time to spend on trading. but the point is its very important to use these targets in all our positions

[narendra]

i agree dude its better to calculate the sl and tp targets instead of some random figures but some people prefer to set a fixed target in all positions. And this method is not innovative in my opinion and its better to have some calculations using some techniques

[narendra]

exactly dude we are dealing with a everchanging market so our targets should be dynamic and suit the market conditions well. our targets should be flexible enough to accumulate more profits and minimise the loses. only then we will be able to survive and gain in this business

[narendra]

that means you are a short term trader and looking for small profits. but when one comes across a trend and closes their positions for 30pips only is as guilty as holding on to a losing trade. so in my opinion sl and 'tp targets should be dynamic

[aryan]

ya i agree, resistance and support areas are good places to set the tp and sl targets since many people closely follow these areas and normally targets set in these are hit most of the time. so support and resistance areas are a good way to set targets

[aryan]

its another way to set the targets used by traders but i would prefer to set the targets using support and resistance or fibo. because in my opinion its always right and beneficial if targets are set on calculation.

[aryan]

yeah using fibo retracement and extentions to detrmine the sl and tp target is a good way to trade. and most of the time the targets seems pretty good. but like other methods its also not a sure shot way but many trders use it

[speedy]

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.

[nitintripathi]

forex is a risky place and losses are the part of it but we can maximize it and mai determination karta hoon SL ki snr area ke zariye but bahut se jo tricks hai unse mai achhoota hoon
and beginner hoon kafi kuch jaane ki zarurat hai but mai abhi ke liye mai fixed sl 40 pips ka use karta minimize karne ke liye losses ko

[chintan]

i would say its better to learn using support & resistance or fibo to calculate these targets and the targets set using these techniques happen to be correct most of the times.

[chintan]

but i still beleive that its always better to have some sort of calculations instead of some random figures. i am not saying that setting a fixed target is wrong, many traders do it that way also. but to have some more accurate target is beneficial. Earlier whaen i used fixed targets, I had my positions closed on a loss many times because the stop loss target was touched first before it went passed my take profit target

[Anand]

Always use stoploss in the market for good traders.i am calculate my sl and then trading.i am always use sl and take profit.sometimes sl was triggered but we dont loss of big amount.

[vicky]

Always use stoploss in the market for good traders.i am calculate my sl and then trading.i am always use sl and take profit.sometimes sl was triggered but we dont loss of big amount.

yes its have to dont in all of our trade set SL with proper money management otherwise its not possible to live long in forex . and we also need at the same time to set TP because exist at the right time is also very important because if we dont do it then our profit trade may go loss again.

[cumil]

i would say its better to learn using support & resistance or fibo to calculate these targets and the targets set using these techniques happen to be correct most of the times.

seems its good suggestion, I've done this, and it's very powerful and very nice, but I left this tekhnique because these techniques is too complicated, I just put SL and TP 20 pips, with a risk ratio of 1:1 and for me this is fair in getting the risk and reward, and always take care about management margin,...

[gosians]

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.

SL ko set krny ka ye best way hy mery khyal sy. Phly jb ma new tha tb ma SL 20 pips pe lgaya krta tha aur wo aksar hit ho jati tho but ab ma SL support and resistance k hisab sy apply krta hon tu ab trading kafi behtr ho gai hy.

[bestlooser]

well i just do not have to see resistance and support levels I just sets short term target of 50 to 100 pips where as some times very low target and some time for long term 200 to 250 pips can be set or even some people can set in 1000 pips. So just making it simple and using SL and TP time to time.

[chintan]

wo log hamesha problem me aa jaate hai kyunki take profit and stop loss ko resistance and support level dekar lagaya jaaye to jaldi hi apna take profit touch ho sakte hai

[SG Trader]

in my trade, i never put SL in my position. i think its very dangerous altough my mentor suggest me to put SL until 50 pips.
i use scalping technique which i set my profit just a few pips but i dont use SL in my trade

[mayengbam]

in my trade, i never put SL in my position. i think its very dangerous altough my mentor suggest me to put SL until 50 pips.
i use scalping technique which i set my profit just a few pips but i dont use SL in my trade

i think for scalpers using sl is even more important. since they go for little profits, they will loose all in one bad positions if sl is not used. so sl is a necessity to consolidate the account and to make profit.

[s19]

in my trade, i never put SL in my position. i think its very dangerous altough my mentor suggest me to put SL until 50 pips.
i use scalping technique which i set my profit just a few pips but i dont use SL in my trade

friend some days i starting my scalping traading and i have bad exprience. i one many trade without puting sl and tp is just only 7-10pips. end of the week when i see result i find that i am in loss.
sl is required in all type trading...

[aryan]

Well using stop loss at bad prices also bring serious losses.Some people place sl at large distances so when the price moves against them they lost a lot of their equity. Its is a bad thing.

[shah.zoor]

in my trade, i never put SL in my position. i think its very dangerous altough my mentor suggest me to put SL until 50 pips.
i use scalping technique which i set my profit just a few pips but i dont use SL in my trade

Well you did told us that you don't put SL in your strategy but you didn't tell is how far you are successful with this kind of approach. Even if you don't listen to your mentor.
Did you ever get any margin call with this kind of trading with no SL?

[ali1011]

meray keyal sy yeh apko apni greed control kr k or situation k hsiab sy mainge karna horta hy k ap ko sotp loss or take profit kha lagani chaiye yahi agar idea apka sahi hy to ap apni managemnt k hisab sy earning me izafa kr sakty hen......

[jai]

Mera stop loss aksar support and resistance level sy thora up hota hy. aur take profit depend krta hy k ma long term position open kr raha hon ya short term. Short term mn TP 20 pips hota hy aur long term main vary krta hy.

[amit]

I think its not good to change your stop loss point. I mean you don't need to move stop loss if the price is going to touch you SL. Just accept the loss and plan for the next position that how can you recover your loss and earn some extra pips.

[amit]

Yeah its good method to apply SL and TP. Kuch traders lower low ya higher high ko SL bnaty hen, mery khyal sy ye b ak acha tareeka hy SL apply krny ka but ic main mjy ye idea nhi k wo TP fix set krty hen ya kisi aur method sy apply krty hen.

मैं सिर्फ लाभ मिलता है एक दिन में 20 pips के न्यूनतम था चाहते हैं और अधिक कैसे उस दिन बाजार है, लेकिन कभी कभी मैं यह SL बारे में सबसे कम उस दिन डाल या उच्चतम मूल्य के आधार पर किया जा सकता है

[jai]

yes ... This really nice,. you should, you've done two very good, which is money management and emotional management, if you are willing to lose money regardless of size, then you already have a good emotional management, because you have to control your emotions

[krishan]

मैं अभी हाल ही में इस कलाओं के माध्यम से किया गया था, लेकिन अब तक मैं इसे इस्तेमाल कभी नहीं किया और मैं तो अब है कि मैं यह पता है कभी नहीं जानता था कि यह 90% सफल दर था मैं निश्चित रूप से यह देने के अन्य मानकों और संकेतों के आधार पर से कोशिश करेंगे

[krishan]

अच्छी तरह से मुझे लगता है कि हम वास्तव में sl और टी.पी. coz मानों यह बाजार आंदोलन पर depens तो यह वास्तव में संभव करने के लिए एक निश्चित sl और टी.पी. रणनीति का उपयोग हर समय नहीं है निर्धारित नहीं कर सकते हैं, यह है कि मैं क्या सोचते हैं, मुझे सही अगर मैं गलत हूँ

[sasa0220]

The way i calculate Take profit and stop loss levels depends on the strategy. When ever i'm opening my positions depending on a chart patterns like rectangle,triangle or flag i would normally target 25-50% of the height of the patterns. like wise the take profit would change from strategy to strategy. But i'd keep my stop loss as 30 maximum ,and it is constant

[akshayfuriya]

I just want to get profit 20 pips in one day was minimal and could be more depending on how the market on that day but sometimes I put it about SL in the lowest or the highest price that day

[arihant]

our purpose in trading is to maximize profits and suppress the loss conditions that we face so we have the ability to earn greater than the loss proft

[amit]

yes its have to dont in all of our trade set SL with proper money management otherwise its not possible to live long in forex . and we also need at the same time to set TP because exist at the right time is also very important because if we dont do it then our profit trade may go loss again.

[bhanu]

Both the calculations of the Stop loss as well as take profits actually depends on the trade itself. We have to learn and then apply them into our trades.

[realfun07]

Both the calculations of the Stop loss as well as take profits actually depends on the trade itself. We have to learn and then apply them into our trades.

You are right as each trader has a different target and a different trading style so he sets his stop loss and take profit based on his calculations and target and it differs from one trader to another.

[weekager]

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?

well trading in a single pair is good for newbie but we should have a trading system. for developing our own system may we be take a long time but we should try.
putting stop loss only with number of pips is not good. we should set it with our analyses..

[aryan]

Well using stop loss at bad prices also bring serious losses.Some people place sl at large distances so when the price moves against them they lost a lot of their equity. Its is a bad thing.

[kamla]

mein be aik new tradder hon or ye janena chahta hun aik pips ki vaule know ka asan or she way kia ha so any body like to tell me the way

[aryan]

The strength of support and resistance levels at various pivot is determined by how many times a price reaches that level and then reverse.

[tibasingh]

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?

[SG Trader]

i just target my profit about 50 pips for every transaction and my stop loss about 100 pips.just one position per day.i dont need more trade.just trade safe.

you are a good trader, but i have one question to you, is sometime you greed to make the second position?
50 pips are good. when we are can doing that consistently i think the result is really good. 50 pips is huge value, even i just set my target about 10 pips per day and sometime i loss some pips in a day.

[yogesh]

Fifty pips profit and 100 pips stop loss quite difficult to understand as even if we are able to make profit 1-2 days if our stop loss triggers some day we loose two trades profit at once and yes some more in form of what we spend on spread.

[SG Trader]

Fifty pips profit and 100 pips stop loss quite difficult to understand as even if we are able to make profit 1-2 days if our stop loss triggers some day we loose two trades profit at once and yes some more in form of what we spend on spread.

yes, we will get loose of two trades profit if we get loss in 100 pips.
but that is must happen and that is a business, we will get the risk until loose of two trades profit. so we must improve our skill or analysis so not often to get the risk.

[mayengbam]

i just target my profit about 50 pips for every transaction and my stop loss about 100 pips.just one position per day.i dont need more trade.just trade safe.

You are playing really safe in my opinion trading one position at a time. The gain will be slow but its alrways better for a learner to accumulae profits slowly instead of trading without a plan and inviting margin call

[kamla]

As I am in learning stages of forex trading so till now what I had learned about placing take profit and stop loss values is that to place it in accordance with fibo values. I make an entry according to support and resistance value and then I calculate stop loss and take profit by the upper and lower fibo value that falls near my entry.

[s19]

I make an entry according to support and resistance value and then I calculate stop loss and take profit by the upper and lower fibo value that falls near my entry.
putting stop loss according to fibo level is also good. but in my view if you are putting stop loss on base fibo then its more more pips.
its also depend on your trading strategy if you are trading with fibo analyses then its will be good other wise not.
batter stop loss is near to support and resistance level.

[hiren]

yes its have to dont in all of our trade set SL with proper money management otherwise its not possible to live long in forex . and we also need at the same time to set TP because exist at the right time is also very important because if we dont do it then our profit trade may go loss again.

its a great way to use the fibo to calculate the sl and tp targets. lots of traders use it and it is among the best tool to calculate targets

[anchitkole]

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.

[rakesh]

well i just do not have to see resistance and support levels I just sets short term target of 50 to 100 pips where as some times very low target and some time for long term 200 to 250 pips can be set or even some people can set in 1000 pips. So just making it simple and using SL and TP time to time.

[wolfkamikaz]

i use this strategy is really effective for me and my base make your work plan in advance. Know the position size, the StopLoss Points and the TakeProfit Points (SL and TP) before you start to trade.
Play it safe - Do not risk over 2% of your balance. For example, if your personal balance is 1000$ and you enter a 10,000$ deal (10:1 leverage), the maximal SL point will be 20 Pips which equal 20$ (2% of 1000$)
this is a good for me 2% of my money :)

If you put take profit, then 2% profit for you. Why you always use stop loss yaar. Analyze very deeply and open deals with take profit. Try it in demo account, you will surely post good results. You know, most of the experienced traders don't use stop loss. I am testing in demo accounts. It works. Let us discuss.

[forexman]

it depends on how much amount you can afford to lose in case of stoploss and how much amount you want to make in profit target.stoploss is very nice feature to reduce the losses in trading

[sameerjazba]

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?
han ye bahot he important ha per jo asal bat ha woh ye ha k app ko market ka sahi taran se mutala karna aata ho app ko indecatores par kafi contrlo ho es k elawa sab se ahm ha app k apna chart analysis ager app sahi taran se pair graf ko analyze karte ho to phr app sahi target de saktey ho stop loss or take profit kaa

[lovefx]

its really important to find the right point to set the stop loss for avoiding damage . Different traders has different techique to set stop loss. Often trader demends on support , resistance and pivot to set the stop loss .

[mayengbam]

its really important to find the right point to set the stop loss for avoiding damage . Different traders has different techique to set stop loss. Often trader demends on support , resistance and pivot to set the stop loss .

exactly dude, support and resistance, fibo are good tools to decide the targets. they always holds good most of the time because lots of people watch and use them in analysing the market. And majority carries the vote in fx too. lol.

[shareem]

i just target my profit about 50 pips for every transaction and my stop loss about 100 pips.just one position per day.i dont need more trade.just trade safe.

[rakesh]

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.

[rakesh]

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.

[wolfkamikaz]

i use pivot zones or support/resistances to calculate profit and loss levels.

my freind you can give me in exemple this is new from me I hope that I will not bother for me my stoploss is always 2% of my balance, for example I have my stoploss 1000 is $ 20

[rakesh]

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.

[rakesh]

that is good.and i suggest you to use pivot lines to calculate profit and stop loss as sometimes there will be possibility of the market to move more than 30pips.so add Pivots and you may get more pips also

[wolfkamikaz]

yes i think is the good idea to use pivot line for calculate that what is your result with that you do the profit with that and the sl He not break with this strategy if the market move strong how the risk!!!

[ketan]

yes its have to dont in all of our trade set SL with proper money management otherwise its not possible to live long in forex . and we also need at the same time to set TP because exist at the right time is also very important because if we dont do it then our profit trade may go loss again.

[hetal]

thik kaha aapne.
waise mere khyal se tp ki first chota target rakhe . aur aap agar sahi entry lihe to stop loss utna rakh sakte he jitna ki aapke tp he. main jyada tar samay 30 to 50 sl rakh ta hoon. aur tp bhi aisa hi hota he. kabhi isse bara aur kabhi isse kam tp bhi li he. par sl ek jaisa he. aur balance kam ho to chota volume pe trade kare isse balance thik rahe ga.

[aniket]

I also traded some trades without take profit but i am sure i haven't got much profit in those trades, Its better to keep SL and TP based on analysis.

[aniket]

Its depend on the money management or its depend on the analysis but some people blindly follow some round figures to put SL and TP.

[yogesh]

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.

[balakalimuthu]

I do trade based on pivot point analysis where I do get support, resistance and mid points of these. So, I do get my entry, target and stop-loss levels based on this pivot analysis itself like at support and resistance levels act as target and stop-loss. When I go for scalping I do use fixed stop-loss and target of my won.

[aniket]

main to wese manual trading karta houn par ager app stop loss or take profit rakha chatey ho to es k liye sab se must ha ap ko chart ka analyisis karna aata ho or take profit or stop loss kaam se kaam pips par rakahin kioun k ager loss ho ga to kam ho ga or ager profit howa to thurra thurra kar k kafi ziyada ho jaye ga ye achi stretegy ha

[vikas]

yara main to koi bhi system use nahi karta or akser manual trading karta hn lekin woh jo jo auto trading karte hane un k liye mera mashwera ha k ziyada pairs par trading na karain or ek do pairs k chart ka mutala karain

[aniket]

Normally when trading using the Fundamentals we can set a Take profit of 100 pips and then a stop loss of 30 pips. Sometimes we need to use a less TP = 50 pips when we know that the movements in the markets will not be much.

[vikas]

we can not determine with certainty where we will put the stop loss and take profit because the market dynamic in nature so we just follow what the price is at that time

[nikam]

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.

[furiya]

I sometimes use the area snr sometimes I do it with a fixed point.
depending on the situation at that time.

[nikam]

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.

[forexman]

i really dont calculate any take profit or stoploss by the time when trading what comes in my mind i will trade but wont have any plan on how much to put tp/sl in my trading but anyway those who follow that will really trade good i think

[muhammadatif]

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.

[shinde]

that is good.and i suggest you to use pivot lines to calculate profit and stop loss as sometimes there will be possibility of the market to move more than 30pips.so add Pivots and you may get more pips also

[shinde]

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.

[shinde]

[shinde]

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.

[aadrika]

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?
Calculation of stop loss and take profit is largely dependent on our trading strategy. As swing traders, we usually calculate long stop losses alongside large profit targets. Swing traders use high and low of daily candle bars with a combination of support and resistance (or fibonacci levels) on daily charts or 4 hr charts to set their stop loss and take profit.

Day traders on the other hand can use 4 hr charts, 1 hr charts or even 15 mins charts to set their targets.

[sinjiku]

I calculate the SL and TP depending on market conditions when there is no news and the market tends to move not too far then I use tp 3-5 pips and I use 30 pips sl. because the market is saturated, but I tend to follow the movement of trand

[s19]

i calculate stop loss and take profit according to my trading strategy.
first minimum i put stop loss 200pips and take profit is 150pips this is in long term trading.
and if i doing scalping then i put only take profit 6pips i never put stop loss.

main jab koi order deta hun to usse 20 pip stop loss aur 15 pip take profit aur kam volume deta hun isse mera loss nahi hota aur fayda hota hai par hamesha trend ko dhyan rakh kar karna chahiye.

[shinde]

As I am in learning stages of forex trading so till now what I had learned about placing take profit and stop loss values is that to place it in accordance with fibo values. I make an entry according to support and resistance value and then I calculate stop loss and take profit by the upper and lower fibo value that falls near my entry.

[shinde]

Normally when trading using the Fundamentals we can set a Take profit of 100 **** and then a stop loss of 30 ****. Sometimes we need to use a less TP = 50 **** when we know that the movements in the markets will not be much.

[kastur]

well trading in a single pair is good for newbie but we should have a trading system. for developing our own system may we be take a long time but we should try.
putting stop loss only with number of **** is not good. we should set it with our analyses..

[indianforex]

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?
bro i am a newbie to insta forex and shall you please tell me how to calculate stop loss take profit targets?

bro i am a newbie to insta forex and shall you please tell me how to calculate stop loss take profit targets?

Different trader calculate it differently, some follow pivot points while some other use moving averages, you can also watch a pair and notice the level which the pair is getting hard to hit and returns back whenever it tries to go near that. Such level can be used as safer stop loss.

[mohit]

there are many factors upon which the calculation of the take profit and stop loss depend . i mainly use the support and resistance for calculation of the take profit and the stop loss . i use pivot point for calculating the stop loss and take profit

[hindlekar]

ha entry aur exit point properly set karna bhohat jaruri hota hai .agar appne acha entry point aur exit point set kara hai to appko acha profit ho sakta hai. har trader ne iski skills develop karni chaiye take wo acha profit kama sake

[nanda]

ya its completely depend on money management to set stop loss and take profit. experince is also essential for proper setting of stop loss and take profit

[nanda]

ya your analysis must be good enough to identify the true trend if you identify the true trend then it will be easier for you set the stop loss and take profit in forex

[kastur]

its depend all on you where to set stop loss. its depend on your money management and the volatility of the market. Your money management skill must be good enough to set the stop loss

[kastur]

I agree with you that somehow we can not set TP and SL installation by default because the market is changing and always have different conditions as well and I think this is a consideration for the placement of the SL and TP dynamically

[kastur]

Yes, while placing stop loss traders should keep in mind the risk and reward ratio. Your risk and reward ration should be at least 1:2 if you can increase this ration much better.

[newentry]

some traders try to put stop loss with using the bottom or peak of the chart, yes this is very good and wise to use and because we just use the range for it, many traders got some problem with it because stop loss is used for prevent from big losing but after they used it, they stop loss is always touched by the trend, and this is only the way to make slow met the MC..so, before we think to put the stop loss, we have to make good analysis to put the order at the right track

[motiurbd]

My risk to reward ratio is 1:2...that means if I give my stop-loss 50 points then my take profit target will be 100 points... I give my stop-loss and take profit target according to my fibo level suggests... But If I use random level then 50 points stop-loss is my best choice.. Because I feel comfortable with it.. Its not that big nor low..

[gosians]

Its not that big nor low..

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.

main to gi sahi bat ha manual trade karta houn or stop loss to kabhi bhi main ne use nahi kiya ha app ko bhi yahi kahoun ga k ager app apna profit ziyada se ziyada karna chatey ho to phr app ko stop loss nahi lagana chiye bhelkey open trading karni chiye main khud bhi yahai karta houn wese stop loss or take target app k experince se he hasil ho saktey hane app ko jitna experince ho ga app utna acha order place karo ge

[sangam]

putting stop loss according to fibo level is also good. but in my view if you are putting stop loss on base fibo then its more more ****.
its also depend on your trading strategy if you are trading with fibo analyses then its will be good other wise not.
batter stop loss is near to support and resistance level.

For getting the right stop loss i am using the daily pivots as i know that most of the movements are going to take place in or around the pivot points only. This also gives us more trading room and the ability to get the required profits since the aim is on getting the profits.

[gosians]

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.

[motiurbd]

Some place stop-loss according to the support and resistance.. And some use random points like 50,100 etc.. I like the first one.. Because in this way you will be saved many times by the pivot line if you use them as your shield..

[sonia]

i calculate stop loss and take profit based on support and resistance. but i fixed my stop loss a maximum of 60 **** and fixed profit a maximum of 80 ****.happy trading

[tunefx]

Its rely about the cash management or simply its depend found on the analysis however a few people blindly follow some round figures to place LS not to mention PT.

[zeghbadrahem]

for me i like to trade with the pivot point so the order of the stop loss and the take profit related about the pivot point too well when i have a support point the take profit of buying is till the nest resistence point and the stop loss at the break of this point by 10-15points

[atif58]

It depends on the market situation and the strategy to place Stop Loss and Take Profit.
What i do is that i place SL beyond the support/resistance levels and TP on these levels. That is my way of calculation but many trader differ from me. They are many ways of putting SL and TP like fiabonice and pivot points.

[shinde]

So you have lost many time due to this reason. You don't seem to learn from your mistakes. I have also lost in initial day by not setting the SL but I put it now in my each trade. I faced loss recently because I have not put TP so it is also important.

[shinde]

You are right that this is very good way of making your targets as 70% of the traders are thinking like that so the price will also move accordingly but you have to keep an eye on the news as well and try to take advantage from the fundamental analysis as well.

[gala]

main to wese manual trading karta houn par ager app stop loss or take profit rakha chatey ho to es k liye sab se must ha ap ko chart ka analyisis karna aata ho or take profit or stop loss kaam se kaam pips par rakahin kioun k ager loss ho ga to kam ho ga or ager profit howa to thurra thurra kar k kafi ziyada ho jaye ga ye achi stretegy ha

[pooja]

I sometimes use the area snr sometimes I do it with a fixed point.
depending on the situation at that time.

[kitt]

I think if you have to choose between take profits and stop loss then the key to success is stop loss. Also let me tell you here that both are important in profitable trading as one helps in controlling greed and other in fear.
i do not think that and i do not agree with you stop loss and take profit is not the key of success in forex however they are ,ithing that the great reason and the key to be successfull trader is the direction of the price because if you choose the right direction you will gain even stop loss is big or small.

[seahawks90]

you must have to watch the market as well as your trade and when you think that you must have to put the stop loss method then just put it and by using this method you can avoid huge losses because it may leads you to face some huge loss which is not acceptable for any trader.

[Thakur]

I calculate stop loss using previous support and resistance points. If the price break below previous support during a buy trade, then I set my stop loss to close below break. If price break above previous resistance with sell trade, I set stop loss to close above break.

[rajabd]

There are very important matters are stop loss and take profit in the forex market. You should set take profit 5 % and stop loss 12% to your invest in a day by calculating volumes or lots.

Main to take profit or stop loss use hi nahi karta because main short term trading ko prefer karta hoon or main apni tmam trades ko close kar ky hi uthta hoon myry pass small capital hai or main usko khona nahi chahta. Myri koi trade ager profit main ja rahi ho or who thora sa profit down kary to main us ko usi time close kar dyta hoon keh kahin woh loss main na chali jay or ager myri koi tarde loss main ja rahi ho to main 5$ tak loss per close kar dyta hoon.

[KD1986]

Mein trading ke stop loss aur target apne app calculation karta. Jada se jada market mein 30-50 pips ka target hota hai isley mein bee 30 ka target choose karta ho. Vese toh target choose karna hasan nahi pan, mein jada se jada stoploss safety target keliye choose karta. Agar dekhe too 10% pips use karna chaiye stoploss keliye varna kya hoga hum hamesa loss jada karge profit je be jada.

[lgarhboularbah]

i think that will related about your analisis i mean that the stop loss we should always put it and i think that the best value is at 30pt but the take profit its not necessary and the best example is the rise of the chf when you put the take profit so you will lose a lot of point

[niteshforex]

[ghaplex]

yes indeed very likely target 30 pips per trade, but depending of the situation,because there are many who also set a target of more than that.specialy on the currency pair that has a high daily range such as eur / usd can reach more than 150pips.

I usually use a parabolic sar as a reference point in calculating the stop loss, that means open sell above parabolic sar, if you buy means the opposite in the parabolic sar.

[maryosa]

I calculate my stop loss to equal my take profit. For me stop loss is 40 pips and take profit is 40 pips. If trade my strategy very well, then price hit tp before hit stop loss.

That's so great idea to win in Forex as per professionals suggest... Like letting profit to run and cutting loss short, we need to design our trading strategies. But piratically I face difficulties to find out the strategies to run profit. Currently I use a system of 1:1 ratio of target and stop-loss. Trend changing level is the perfect level for both target as well as stop-loss...

You can calculate it by possessing the knowledge that is necessary to trade forex and then calculate the stop loss effectively. All things that are associated with forex exchange trading has to do with strong analysis and knowledge.

[niteshforex]

Both the calculations of the Stop loss as well as take profits actually depends on the trade itself. We have to learn and then apply them into our trades.

[Susti]

I usually put them around support/resistance lvls. I put stop loss abit more than the lvl is and take profit abit less. That is a difference of let's say 5-10 pips to allow market kickback and my wrong determination of support/resistance. I use fibo and my analysis to determine where the lvls are.

Support and resistance are good option to set targets. and i also feel that instead of setting the targets at the exact support and resistant price its better to use the areas (arround 5-10 pips) around the S & R as the targets. i have seen that the market moves plus minus 5-15 pips around the S & R most of the times

big stop loss is lead to big loss and weak chance to loss and smal stop loss is lead to smal lose amount and lead to strong chance to loss ,smal stop loss mean lose many times big stop loss mean less times

[amit]

as for me, i will choose a bit bigger TP that is around 50-100 pips. this because i'm trading in bigger time frame, H4. And trading in that timeframe surely need a lot of patient, cause it's not easy to get a precise signal, so when it does show up, i will not take it easy, so i think 50-100 pips is a worth my time waiting the good signal.

[jai]

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.

[jai]

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.

[jai]

that is good.and i suggest you to use pivot lines to calculate profit and stop loss as sometimes there will be possibility of the market to move more than 30pips.so add Pivots and you may get more pips also

[jai]

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.
