That is exactly what I am talking about. Thank you for your post js! Maybe the one's new to trading can find something from your description.
I've met a lot of traders not utilizing SL, due to motives, and a lot of them got wiped out or left with little accounts.

Excellent stated Farah! The most important thing in trading, in my opinion, besides entry and exit, is to control your emotions and NEVER transfer your SL. If the trade goes your way fine , if not there will be others.

The markets are there day and night. Trades will come. You just need not to lose your account from a few transactions and earn money!

In stock market it is possible to dont utilize SL and TP since the market open from 0800 to 1400 (in Dubai)
but in Forex Market it is open from Sunday to Friday

you cant know what's going to happen in between
I believe only position trader can trade with no SL and TP

SL signifies that following this price you think there's no way that the price will go on your direction again ... so way stay in trade ?

And TP same that the the price cant go any more or it is enough prift and you like to venture out

too in the event that you feel that such as us we open 10 to 20 rankings on some time so how do you believe that will remember what exactly was your egy this position

the very best way in my opinion TP and SL

example yesterday I open positions @ 1800 in Dubai time and I place a TP and SL since I have to go to the job 8 hours I have to sleep when I come back for 8 hours so what can happen in Foreign Exchange in 16 home ?? The purchase price can go 200pip on any way

I believe you get the point

I get the point ! I was speaking to SL/TP in Forex positions anyhow - maybe not the stock market. . Thus you are right in there! Fantastic luck with your trade, hope you profited!

Entrance, for me personally, isn't an issue exits are. When beginning leaves currently requiring refining where as entrances were the biggest issue. I would like to share my ideas, I am ventilation perhaps but additionally may help others. (Been a long time since a post have forgotten my old user name email was linked to - so here I'm again).

I trade daily bars, therefore a position can possibly be available for a few weeks. Much can occur with price at that moment. I pay no attention to fundamentals only specialized (you might agree or not, this is purely a personal preference another topic).

I have been using an ATR as SL moving according to ATR each opening of the daily bar. The problem with this is that should a spike occur then price pull back my SL is removed, only to see the price continue from the direction my system informed me of, as detected this morning about the Aussie crosses. While I have profited recently, overall this just appears to keep a degree account balance as it gains then retreats, or retreats then gains. I've learnt to not get emotional about trading over the years instead I focus on doing what my signs let me do, the reason I have been reading this issue is to refine my own exits. It is funny kind of hard to explain but I believe what price will do when in a position I see SL has taken me out I can't think of a reason to follow price with a SL.

After reading remarks over the last week on various forums, I finish my exit egy should be to put an initial SL according to ATR to guard the account then depart according to a MSL (mental stop loss).

I will return in a few months with outcomes, good or bad.

Here's to profitable trading .

Great comment, I gree with you and I'ts been a part of my learning procedure. In a market with too much volatility, patiente is your best resource.
Due to discuss.

I really don't know if pro traders use o don't use sl but I know that if you're not experienced enough will blow your account in just a bunch of trades, and I am saying 'cause I thought that I could have exchanged with no sl but I was wrong and I paid that anyhow this is my view but since I said I believe non-experienced traders should use sl.

My buddy is an institutional trader. He deals for a bank in my country. He oversees a total quantity of money estimated 5.000.000 USD. He uses reuters platform to enter the transactions and also researches the market. He doesn't rely on MT4.

He deals at home as well. His trading account initial balance is 250.000 USD. The rest of his investment source is in inventory, hedge funds, and property.

He explained that the most important principle to achieve success in fx market is placing stop reduction and cash management. The banks always prepare the maximum reduction due to their traders so the banks set the stop loss not only their traders.

My (guide) trading system is base on no stop drop egy. I am combining the Elliott Wave theory Money Management.
The basic theory is : my [all] trading places in accumulation will be closed in profit.
