How many pips do you think is safe for SL ?

I load the maximum limit of 100 pips stop loss, and this is the maximum limit for the stop loss to trade long-term and short-term trade.

I think for short term trade 50 pipe is safe for SL but if you trade long term you can set your SL 100 plus pipe or more. it depend on your capacity and balance also. some long term trader are not used SL. but SL is very essential.

i must say that its always depends upon the trader and on the capital of the trader because if you have good capital then you can take that
risk to the higher extent otherwise you must have to put stop loss on the earlier stage may be within 10-15 pips.

Every trader follow different rules.I am new trader and i follow stop loss when market go to my reversal.
I give 75 pips stop loss when i take profit 15 pips is safe because i see that market.

if indeed you are often touched stop loss you may need to widen the longer distance of your stop loss price running and this may provide opportunities for the hard hit stop loss

[forexgain]

that depends on the trade that where have you opened the trade. normally i open a trade then i make 40 pips take profit and 20 to 30 pips stop loss. that is the best trade i think

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.

I put the stop loss depending on the frame, which I trade if it was 15 minutes, 30 minutes off I put a small loss of about 30 points when trading on the resistors and subsidies put the stop loss, only 20 points

Difficult to determine the stop loss order is always, sometimes we are moving and we pursue profit and other times we are moving away from the loss and this also depends on the strategy we follow if the long-term or medium-or scalping Balnsphly work to strip the scalp and have ordered a stop loss 10 points and profit also 10

I usually take 1% risk of my whole capital. then i divide the amount with my volume, this amount i use as stop loss. in this method if i loose in one trade i will loose only 1% of my whole capital. it is very safe method.

There are no fixed amount that can be said as a good value because by hitting SL you always get losses. But it depends on you that how much loss your account can tolerate and also you have enough free margin to open another position.
