How many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

[YJSP]

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.

You are very correct, normally, we should place the stoploss at resistance and support levels, then calculate how much pips we will risk, then calculate how much we can trade.

According to my knowledge it should be greater than TP pips, But most of times i don't use Stop loss if we are trading with H1 then its better to have STop loss around 50 pips for H4 we should increase it.

भाई मुझे लगता है कि आप बंद करो हानि मूल्य समर्थन और प्रतिरोध मूल्यों के अनुसार की जगह चाहिए .. यह जिस तरह से अपने दे रहे हैं की तरह नहीं रखा जाना चाहिए ..
आप समर्थन और प्रतिरोध के बारे में ज्ञान होना चाहिए और फिर आप अपने बंद नुकसान और लाभ ले

It is depend of the support and resistance level that where we have to place the stop loss. But my point of view it is always better to analyse the risk reward ration before trade and place the trade according to that.

The number of pips can't be fixed for any trade. It totally depends on your style of trading and your capital, your limit to handle loss. If you are a scalper with minimum deposit then you must set a tight stop loss and if you are a swing trader with big deposit then you can afford to have a big stop loss. But the question you had asked can't be answered with a fixed number of pips.

from my point of view i think 50 pipes are mainly and acceptable for a SL.
i think SL is a way to minimize u r loss.
market is unmeasurable so SL is the way by which we can minimize our loss and save from high loss.
i think 50 pipes are good.

i can't tell you how many pips for it, all depends the condition and if we think that we have to increase, so why not...sometimes i did not use SL too..when i know the chart will move back, but we have to be careful for this conditions
50 pips as SL is standard and i make 2 : 1 with TP

I think it depends jgua current market, it also depends on money management such as the risk that you can receive, etc. .. probably around 30-40 pips.

Yes it is. According to the situation, we have to decide whether how much pips we have to place for stop loss. If the market is very volatile then predict the trend and place order with more pips. so that your stop loss will not triggered instantly.
