what are peoples average stoploss in pips?

i normally go for 266 for a long term

just wondering what others do ? if you can share that would be a great help
It's going to vary greatly with strategy, but I've been doing a lot of thinking these last couple of days about my own stop losses. Over time this year, I've tightened them to the point where it's difficult to build a position because they require almost perfect entry. The idea is to use minimal stops to quickly build positions and greatly magnify the gains. I'm not sure I'm any better off though, because while successful positions are incredibly profitable, they're easy to miss and have no margin for error.

I'm considering user larger stop and larger size, or using multiple stop losses of various sizes to mix consistency and home run potential.

anyone got any ideas what eur/usd is gonna do today?
I already exceeded my goal for the day shorting it in 90 min. Had 3 hrs sleep as yesterday was one kick ass ride. Will now go back to sleep.

Being new here.....Thanks again to all of you who help confirm my thoughts and those who don't. It is helpful to see all opinions. But I have my favorites!

Morning All. After the extraordinary events of yesterday, NFP later, Hung Parliament here in UK, I don't expect that the markets will make much sense! We should all be very cautious.

I'm showing that we are bobbing along on the 23.6 line of the Fibonnachi for the week, I'd say we're in retrace mode now.

Yes Mr J good darn good questions if I may add.

I had intended to short this all the way down to 2500 and was making pips in the process . After taking over 300 pips to 3036 I thought oh this will pull back like it always does and I will pinch a few pips . it didn’t and dom dom dom I moved my stop loss.

At 2826 I rinsed and repeated the process.

I see this bull already broke up towards validation level 1.3732 , further break to 1.3797 or break down again , hope not so easily.
Yeah rumour can do some more havoc , they stop anytime at the top & allow free fall again , may do few times but the fraud can't pass all time , so down to where started.Fishes using fish oil to fry the fishes & ultimately be all fried.

the beauty of not being greedy.
My short today was cut short hahaha instead of taking 50pip I took only 10 hence to entry bucket shop slip and to the market as it didnt want to go lower. Good then to have a secondary tp just in case which was for me standard 10 pips. Looking at it now my SL would have been hit and I would have been angry since the trade was already 10pips in profit. So even though we always went short this week sometimes things happen exactly the opposite way and one needs to be prepared for that....
