I don't at all, they're very likely to get hit most of the times, but I do control my risk at equity level and rather seeing a single trade as risk bearing entity I look at what the entire portfolio is doing.
Your risk in one trade could be offset by another trade (long eurusd and long usdchf for example), and the real risk to the portfolio is only evident in the speed of change in the NAV. Chang beer is evil. |

I don't usually use SL. But when I do it is usually getting hit and reverse. I try to manage my risk not going above 50% of the equity. This helps to sustain pull backs and runs, even when they last weeks. I am more fundamental trader than technical and therefore even negative pair eventually coming back to make me a profit.

Why reveal your positions to enemies by using SL? We all know that brokers will sweep our stop losses. I read and learnt from an ex Tier-1 banker that the pro bank traders never ever use stop losses. Check out the forum thread in ForexFactory - Technical Analysis Fallacy.
I have been trading with indicators + stop loss for about a year, and have been inconsistent. Ever since I started trading only with naked charts and without stop loss 5 weeks ago, i haven lost a trade. |

But are we one of them? Regards, SIM Low risk consistent return! For More Information on Professional Managed Account Service, Kindly visit: http://www.forexmanagedaccounts-fxmac.com/ref/6566136 |

No we are not. But I urge you to give it a try before passing judgement. But if you are consistently making money for months or years, then it has little use for you :)

Setting stop loss seems not necessary if you are consistent in your strategy and you play with very small lots relative to your account equity eg. if you have $5000 account and you play with 0.01 lots.
