Disliked{quote} It's a bit early to do this on GU, but I brought SL down to protect the trade. If SL gets eaten I may be able to re-enter, but at least I won't lose anything. I thought that GU would pop down, but maybe not{image}

Disliked{quote} UJ Briefly on my mind set in taking up trades... Stop loss placement is a safeguard against me making the wrong decision, a point where I can say "oh well I was wrong about that one" and move on. Don't place a stop and you are stuck waiting and waiting for things to turn around, tying up equity and, if the trade does turn around, lulling you into the belief that you read the market correctly, false confidence is dangerous. Each to their own in the end though, I am not here to judge others trading styles, I hope I see you in the Brisbane.{image}...Ignored

Disliked{quote} Yes I agree....SL is a must for every trade. It does not mean we have to sit and watch the SL get stopped out in drawdown though. I hate drawdown, but sometimes it is just an unfortunate side effect of trading. Once my trade is in profit, I don't like it go negative. I will exit with protecting SL, and maybe I can enter again at a better time. I don't think there is a right or wrong way to do it, as long as we protect our capital and make a few pips when the conditions are rightWe have nice coffee in Brisbane
