I've only been trading for about six months and learned the strategy in a trading club. The club recommends setting the stop loss at 1% of your account size and the take profit at 0.1%.


However, this ratio is becoming increasingly frustrating. While it does result in a very high hit rate, if a few trades go wrong, you feel like you'll never be able to recover.


How do you set your stop loss and take profit?

The club’s idea to lose 1% but only make 0.1% means you have to win almost every trade to make money - that’s really hard. I set stop loss where the market shows it makes sense like just below a support level or a bit beyond recent price move. I try to make profit at 1.5 to 2 times what I risk. So if I risk 1%, I aim to make 1.5% or 2%.
