There needs to be a mental stop loss. You can't be a good trader without some sort of stop
”Mandatory is putting it too strongly, I presume. There are a lot of successful traders out there who do not use it. But, I still do think it is a good idea to use it more frequently than not.
Today, in forex there's stop hunting, we can put in to this subject if you would like. But to me personally a physical stop is a bad idea.
For black swan events, I am convinced I can rescue the place, on a retrace
What's stop hunting, really? The spikes which occur during events?
there aren't any true FX traders. Whatever you hear or read or watch is half lived and half lied at best.Originally Posted by ;
There's not any correct way to exchange or to handle ceases or lack of them.
Unless you're highly experienced, it is better to define your own risk B4 you enter into a trade. Best to do this in a hard manner (auto stop) rather than a gentle way (mental stop).
I place an auto stop 5/6 pips away from my actual mental one, just in case the broker can play games.
Also on the occasion that the market is able to move instantly 100 pips, you don't wish to me personally caught on the wrong side.
It depends alot on your kind of trading too. I exchange intraday using a stop of between 8 and 13 pips, so a move 50 /100 pips against, I can't have. Then it may B a story, even though if you're trading a time frame.
Guru FX traders enjoy who?? Or in
If you're talking about overall Guru FX traders, It depends upon a number of different aspects. . .Those people may be well capitalized, and they may be needing profit goals, such as 500 pips per transaction, which means you will never observe a stop using them less than 150-200 pips or so. . .That's my opinion of course, but when I am managing a $5 M account, I think that almost all of my trades will be position trades to the long term since intraday trading with such amounts may impact the market and hurt me. . .Remember that provided that the trading lots increase, the entrance and exits are violent. .

pro fx traders (the kind that operate at banks, which it seems like you are speaking about) DO utilize stoplosses. They dont put a stoploss order, but they've a mental stop. Why they dont actually set the order ahead of time is because they sit in front of their monitor whilst trading, plus they have disapline when they want to to get out. They have a fantastic feel for order flow because they are on a trading desk.
I concur with what the others are stating here. Where your loion stops depends on your trading style, but if you do not have a stop-loss at all, then there is a true risk is that you are reluctant to admit that you are mistaken. No stops generally equals a risk of ruin.
I have levels at which given current conditions, I'll allow the market tell me I am wrong, as I would like to be about to fight the next day.
Even if you are eager to eliminate the top of your spine, do you want to risk losing your car, home, and possibly your family, as you barrel through the doorways of the poorhouse?
Hello Friends,
It is possible not to use a stop loss and stay safe in your account. Forex is a business rather than a escapist egy , neither is it a programme made to place anyones life. In case you failing and have been trying to trade without a stoploss you have not been doing it. If you are utilizing stoploss ,it may even be a source of more reductions,you enter into a transaction ,it strikes your stoploss and reduces your equity, thenyou input again it strikes your stop loss ,which makes it seem as if your acct is growing and reducing at precisely the same rate. PLEASE this advice is not for everyone. . .it is for all those people who are ready to accept the bitter truth.it is not for scalpers,it isn't for traders who trade below the 1hr period frame.it isn't for people who exchange fundamental but people who use it as a guide .Pls note that this.
Before I let you in on 1. You must have a trade entry and exit judgement. What I mean is that you have to atleast understand market trend,wave patterns ,support and resistance levels. You have to know your chart not some mad softwares or EAs or the use of indiors. . .no.2. You must have patience, you must have the ability to watch some standing go for even days against you and shut them or you will not have to add anyother commerce. You must have the same patience to see a trade go back to acquire and becoming to a take profit not or running away with little if any reduction -. 3. You must not necessarily be in a hurry to make withdrawals from the account since this isn't a fantastic company believer....cancel the framing of visiting your capital in the platform as water onto a hot frying pan on fire. Instead start seeing how you can produce your platform your bank.If you are with an excellent broker your account is really safe.
Let get functional,
With a leverage of 1: 500 ,in case you've got an account of $100000 and you use a minimum of 1lot or a maximum of 5 lots on that account without stoploss. There is absolutely no way that the account will get blown out. And no more transaction is added by you when you reach that maximum. Even though it is going to take weeks be your own style, if a transaction goes againt you wait patiently for it to recover. . .that was why I said this post is meant for people who actually know the rhythm of market flow not only for everyone.Its not to thosewho will exchange agaisnt the trend or for people who claim they know market bottoms and tops. Now for an account of 5000 utilize a minimum lot of 0.05lot plus a maximum lot of 0.25 per commerce. If you enter the transactions and it does not give profit don't input more transactions to transcend your lot. WAIT WAIT WAIT . It is painful to wait ,however, wait patiently. Learn to view open position in negatives and believe that and provide profit.
If you can do this for a period of 3 weeks to 4months you are going to understand that you'll never wire funds for your brokers again you may only be employing for withdrawals of your profit.In the process of waiting you could be studying your chart,research how to spot better commerce opportunities and with the waiting you'll start seeing yourself as a developing traditional trader who know what he's doing. It is not a crime to manage funds for individuals ,even with this method it's possible to manage individuals funds but let your investors know that ....You aren't in a hurry and they should also learn to wait. It is possible to not loss a dime from the account with this technique instead you will see your account balance and equity growing steady. For this method is very slow. Even if you would like your profits to experience a continuos compounding in the rate of 5% ,10% or 20% for this technique. . .There is a method so that you don't get in to trouble, the calculation is done. NOTE if u use the normal compounding formular you'll crash and start regreting you have to continue with forex.
I have one final thing to say,
It has really gone along way to help me and that I think if will help you too
It is a good idea to utilize pending orders instead of instant execution if you have doubt about your entry.Personally I set my pendings 15pips away so that I do not get trapped
If you trade EURUSD,GBPUSD,GBPCAD along with other pounds associated pairs If there will be a news events on GPB 4:30 am EST don't trade during lodon available,instead wait until after the news is declared.
Don't always believe that the tokyo session maitains the same commerce range
Don't also believe market goes up during london and comes down through US or another way round....let me stop here
