#StopLossStrategies
One of the most important risk management tools for any trader: the Stop Loss order.
However, using it randomly can be more harmful than beneficial, so we need to understand the strategy, not just the tool.
Here are some smart strategies:
1. Fixed % Stop Loss:
Set a specific loss percentage (e.g., 2-3%) of the capital for each trade.
2. Support and Resistance:
Place the stop loss below support or above resistance directly, based on technical analysis.
3. Trailing Stop:
Protects profits as the price continues to move in your favor, and moves automatically with the trend.
4. Time-based Stop Loss:
If the market does not move according to expectations within a specified time frame, exit the trade.
