Placing stop loss is one of the difficult tasks in trading. So many things to consider. Your trading style, risk tolerance capability and good knowledge about support and resistance levels are important to place a stop loss.

UweMoench posted:its not even that difficult, yes it does involve a couple of factors to consider like, the extent of loss you are willing to bear, what are the ongoing spreads, a stop loss should never be so tight that it gets no space to breath and even a slight movement in the price triggers the stop loss level.

Discipline cannot be maintained without stop loss. Therefore, every trader should use risk rewards to maintain risk.

I guess SL can save us against those unbearable losses in trading, but I really get irritated when my stop loss gets hit and the very next second the price moves in my favour, just hate that feeling.

Setting a stop loss is an integral part of successful trading. However I think it is ridiculous to set a stop loss of 10 pips because minor fluctuations can close our order. if we place a stop loss very near like 10 pips or 15 then a good order can be closed with a loss. I prefer to place a stop loss at least 30 pips away and usually place it from 30 to 80 pips depending upon the trading strategy.

Setting stop loss might seem difficult in the beginning. But when you start using it in all of your trades, it won’t feel so.

Bunaya posted:Maybe I should have to just hold my position a little longer for it to make through the depression phase. If I have put the stop losses then it would sell the security as soon as it falls before again skyrocketing. I think the risk is in both the cases.
You should not risk trying trading without stop losses, this will definitely lead you to losses, especially if you have no experience and practice.

Will it be worth it if the security does not rise then you will lose more money, but with the stop loss the loss won’t be unbearable.Bunaya posted:Maybe I should have to just hold my position a little longer for it to make through the depression phase.

I think the midway to this discussion can be using the stop loss at such a precision which marks the midway of the loss which you can suffer and the price of the security which can rise in the following days. This is the best method which you can use. For example a news is developing which can plunge the markets down but its effect will be short so you know it will rise. Therefore you can hold the security longer and have deep stop loss.

The stop loss location is also critical to risk management. if you set a very wide stop loss then you will give your trade more time to 'breath' but your potential losses could be huge

Setting up an stop loss is an art. You need to have a good idea of support and resistance. And how price work in support and resistance area. Focus on increase your knowledge and skills. Slowly you won't keep checking the chart.

This is my first post on this forum. I have been trading for a long time so I can express my opinion on this topic based on some experience. I usually try to place stop loss above or below the swing. In this trading style my losing ratio is low.
