I use percentages based on my total balance.

Hi Bsolo,

I think there is a little more to it than that, which currency pair are you trading? How much are you willing to risk on the trade?

I generally use the currency pair's ATR to assist in determining my TP or SL levels as some pairs are more volatile than others, therefore, may need a little more room to breath. That then affects the lot sizing etc.

Hope that makes some sense...

What are the SL and TP requirements of YOUR specific strategy?

There are numerous factors which could be used to determine SL and TP price levels, however there is no 'one size fits all' solution that will work for all circumstances. What works well for one trader, may not work at all for another.










If it looks too good to be true, it's probably a scam! Let the buyer beware.

I use key resistance levels. Everything else seems arbitrary to me

I do not use stop loss. I enter trades with small Lot size and just keep open. Markets are ranging now so this tactic can work well. Fingers crosses prices do not start trending!

The best way in my experience to use SL levels is to put them where you'd no longer like to be in the trade, I don't base it on percentages as this is silly and will lead to putting your SL at an arbitrary value. I use percentage risk for my lot size AFTER I determine where I'd like my SL to be.

For me I like use stop loss as a % of the ATR. For example for the daily I use 100%, 4 hourly I use 50% and 1 hourly 25%
