How many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

[Wassim_gsm]

Stoploss can be calculated according to your free equity and lot size ,but generally it is between 30 and 50 pips in the short term trades .
In the long term trades it can reach 200 to 300 pips ,also according to your equity and the lot size used to trade .

well, in fact strongly believe that for scalping i think 5-10 pips sl and 5-10 pips TP is good .but in long term trading we need to change our SL strategy .i think for 100 pip gain we set 80 pips SL.

yes dear for me, I really consider the number of pips cannot be mounted for any trade. for me normally i use 50 pips for my stop loss i wait till price come to good entry point before open trade so i am sure that my stop loss is not very tide to hit easily

yes dear in forex business I consider it up to 80-100 pips you should decide to set your stop loss after seeing at the level of that pair if you will choose less than 80 it can be stopped in very short time and may be after that it moves up so 80-100 pips is fine.

well my dear I personally consider in forex the amount of risk you want to take will depend on you so that you can arrange the stoploss but if you ask me i will rarely use it and that too even if i use also i will use when the account almost raedy to blow so i have to use it without making such mistakes again

yes dear in forex business I consider every traders has different opinion about this. In my experience, I usually set take profit in 8-10 pips and stop loss in 15 pips, because I use scalping technique and use time frame M5 or M15.

well, dear I actually do believe that the different traders have the different point of view about that but i think the 500 pips is the best for the safe the money from the loss and the traders safe their money on any other way.

forex me stop loss lagane ke liye pehle market ko analysis karelna chahiye,agar trader yahan sabb market me jaanleta hai to uske baad he wo yahan achha kar sakta hai,yahan trader ko sabb apne aap samajhna he hoga..

Well personally with me I believe i will place stop loss double the profit. if u have tp as 50 pips then place sl as 100 pips. It is the safer side. dont have too much of stop loss. try to avoid trade hitting stop loss. let profits run the maximum.

yes dear in forex business I consider it better we are keep using the stop loss on our trading, we must set more stop loss pips then the take profit i think double for example if we set 40 pips for take profit then we need to set 80 pips for stop loss
