A) On normal conditions: Let's say when you are anticipating that market will not open with a huge gap and maybe only with a minor gap, then you don't want to be stopped out just because price exceeded your stop for some pips just because market opened with a little drawdown that you normally could manage. If you had set a drawdown, you are automatically giving the following order to your broker: "As soon as market opens, just close my order and I don't care how much it exceeded my SL"... If price opens 30 pips away from your SL level, that way the broker will close your order immediately and you will lose "SL + Gap" amount of money. In other words: the opening price will become the closing price of your order.
However, if you wouldn't set a SL, once market opens, your order would simply be in higher drawdown: SL + 30 pips but still open. Then you could have the chance to try to lower your loss with anticipation of a gap close... You see? Now you HAVE a chance. Previously, you had not.
B) On extreme conditions: If you think the market could open with a huge gap, then rule 1 applies: Don't leave your order open. Close and come back as soon as market opens. And if you see fit, re-open the same order.
C) Setting TP for weekends is even worse. Here, many brokers act foxy: IF you set a TP and market opens in your favor and goes even more into profit levels let's say TP + 55 more pips beyond... The broker will close your order at the TP level you have set. Surprise surprise!
You thought you can maybe benefit from a spike or gap, right? Nope... Brokers love money more than anything and on top of it they are shameless!
Disliked{quote} I think you have shared a misguidance there... Stops never protect you against sudden movements like gaps and especially weekend gaps... Your broker will close your order with a totally different price than your stop loss level... Almost always it will be way worse! In my experience, the best practice is like this: 1) Never leave orders open for the weekend! 2) If you think it is worth the risk, never put SL or TP on your weekend orders because: A) On normal conditions: Let's say when you are anticipating that market will not open with a...Ignored
