How many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

[sumonmia0526]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Many newbies ask me how many pips is safe for stop loss? I think its all depend on how much you afford to lose and we have to put stop loss by checking resistance and support levels, we should not put stop loss just by numbers.

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