{quote} Oh yes, I forgot. Well, if your account is big enough it can work out. But do you have a kind of mental SL if the position does not go your way?
by rule of thumb
I prefere to take at Long Term Investment on Daily or Weekly chart the last support or resistance line.
At M5/M15/M30/H1/H4 the last one 1 or 2 timeframes higher or the next pivotal most of the time.
It depends of the volatility often. The internet is full of the ideas "forex how to set a stop loss" - Ungefähr 15.700.000 Ergebnisse (0,40 Sekunden).

E.g. waiting for the next bigger price movement after the news and then enter could be an option.
Longer term the EURUSD should go more upwards, till 1.44/1.4780 IMO.

Thanks, you are right, SL is a difficult topic. If set too close to the entry, you might get stopped out even on good positions.

something is to be handled flexibly
90% of all trades where traders could set a stop loss are losing trades due to the fact of stop loss hunting by monitoring the bigger price movements.
Oftern the price are coming back if there isn't any bigger trend in the market.
So I say Stop loss is bullsh*t!. It's better taking out the profits between 50-200% every time and trade without stop loss.
Only 2-4 account out of 10 could be pulverized in this case, say 8-10 account are running in a bigger winning zone.

William Byrd: Mass for 4 Voices, The King's Singers
  • #291
  • Mar 19, 2014 9:55am Mar 19, 2014 9:55am
Description by Brian Robins [+]
The Mass for Four Voices (1592-1593) was likely the first of the three great unaccompanied polyphonic mass settings Byrd composed in the 1590s. All three masses are settings of the Ordinary: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. The scoring of the Mass for Four Voices is often thought to consist of the usual soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, but the closeness of the alto and tenor parts has led some authorities to believe that alto, tenor, baritone, and bass achieves a more satisfactory balance.

Parts/Movements

  1. Kyrie
  2. Gloria

So you probably just use a TP. I guess if the MM is right for the account, it can work out. Nevertheless a very wide SL cannot really harm you, just in case you cannot login for some reason over a longer period.

I don't understand the Stop Loss proponents. If you have work out a multiple market analysis before you start into the market with your investments then there shouldn't be no need for using any stop losses. Plan your trades and trade your plan! The rest is Loss Order Mangement (LOM).
So am I!

Yes, but it is impossible to be right every time. Plus like I said: If you are not able to open your account for a longer time, which can happen in life, you have a problem if just one position turns heavily against you. On the other points regarding the disadvantages of SL, I agree.

Deposits should be enough for several trades into -300 - -800 pips. If not there isn't enough deposits on it.
If so these people are not traders they are more gamblers.

It sounds pretty harsh to call people gamblers who for example start trading with smaller accounts and smaller positions. Being a gambler is an attitude, not the amount of money somebody has to his or her use. With right MM, even a 100 euro account is tradable - not with a lot of profits of course. If you can hold several positions with -300 or even - 800 pips that is ok, but for most people it just will not work out. I would not advise that to people who start trading, only people who know what they are doing and have plenty of money to cover their risk.
