{quote} I was down 3,000 pips on 17 entries last week. Came back to 300 pips profit at closing. It took 5 days, including the weekend. I learned a lot about managing my margin from it. It was stressful, but well worth it. I'm a better trader now.
i'm sure it was, and i'm sure you are! your definitely on the right path, well done...

1) You are against the trend. Look left and you see that the price made a new HH
2) Look your oscillator and ask yourself " why the price go up and the oscillator go down?". Wait the download of the oscillator and buy when give you a signal.

also, it was a countertrend trade, and the uptrend showed no clear signs of continuing, best option was to wait for at least a return to ema200 imo...

Definitely a good one for (large) ranging markets ... but once you are caught in a strong trend, all your previous gains will be wiped out.
That's why stop loss has been invented. You can't be always right so you limit the impact of wrong trades.

My friend, try adding another order instead of using a stop-loss in those levels and then exit at the next EMA touch, don't hold for long periods.

There were a lot of oportunities to scalp that top and exit at the 9, 20, 50 and 200 touches, keep it simple:

Stop-loss DOES NOT limit risk, that's a myth.

Stop-loss is just another tool in the toolbox.

It makes sense to use it when trading breakouts or "continuation" moves as the break of the "x" level implies the initial setup is invalid.

In this case we are trying to catch the top of a very strong move and you can expect price to keep pushing at resistance before weakening, especially in a VERY noisy time-frame such as the M1 where it is very unlikely to make a sudden and clear move in the opposite direction. This is true, even if we try to smooth price action with multiple indicators.

stoplosses were invented by brokers to get the cash , every book you read is by a broker or people that worked for brokerages or in the industry , think about it

Hi Cpfleger,
I have been following your trading for quite some time. I was operating with version 3. The latest charts looks very clean. Would you please share the template in the post 5610?

I have all the indicators but want to make sure I can get that clean template.

Thanks and Regards,
dreampips.

solid risk and money management are required to limit the impact of "wrong" trades - not stop losses

every trade is "wrong" 50% of the time, using stop losses on every trade generally means a trader thinks they have a system that will be more accurate than the market - good luck with that

as Abade so often correctly states, stop loss is just another tool and should only be used when it makes sense to use it...

an alternative that works well for me is to close manually if i think i really got it wrong or just have that feeling for whatever reason...
