you dont need a stop loss, you just need an entry and exit strategy... stop loss is for chicken who don't know what they are doing
its a tool.. thats all. I like it.

tell that to the people who were long on the swissie just before they pegged their currency - it was an immediate 1000 pip lose!
then their trade was wrong at first place... why would you open a trade when you see divergence? i got hit by some of these and had losses (-500) as well then i reversed my trade and got +300 back the second day but it doesn't happen often because i avoid them...

yes; then you dont get bounce out for a small move; however you still protect yourself if something really goes wrong.

It's always a good rule of thumb to put in a price shock SL, some use 100 pips.

yes that is because you have a strategy and you have high discipline to close it when it reach to your exit price, but a lot people dont do that (include me before, so that's why i use s/l now) and they will eventually lose more..

no way, if you use anything fixed in this market it will be very unlikely to be a consistent strategy, although i had a fixed tp and sl in my old mechanical system but that was tested for years but then it stopped working at one stage... everything is dynamic including sl and tp

Here you go vote finished.

Wonder what spin CNBC is going to put on this one. How can we dumb down the masses even more then they already are.

We need stupid people though, I like stupid people. There's plenty of them here.

Spinning it now, its a positive, got the vote, but not a majority, so probably snap elections and a new governing coalition. So in the next few hours Mr. B will resign or the opposition will call for a no confidence vote.

won budget vote. but 308 votes, doesnt have absolute majority. opposition abstaining. not exactly bad news for those that think a new pm is good news

looks good; just put a stop loss with a plus 1 pips just in case.
