Dislikedunfortunately if price gaps above your profit limit your broker will fill you at your limit price regardless. If they cant fill you at your price on a losing position then you cop the extra losses but if they cant exit on a winning position they will pay you out at your limit price and pocket the rest. funny how it always works in there favourIgnored

Dislikednope. anything that can go to zero has limited risk. thats why long options are limited. if you buy, the farthest it can go down is 0. if you sell, it can go up infinitely. in forex, a currency pair can never reach zero, because currency prices are relative.Ignored
