In the Aftermath of the Jan 15-15 SNB event there is a vast debate on the Stop loss not being filled and the reasons etc.
There is also a huge raging question on if the forex for retail at leverage ( be it 200:1 or 50:1 ) is appropriate . Let us say instead of loss if SNB were to have raised the PEG to 1.25 and every one made huge money and the fills were around 1.25 instead of 1.22 or pre set take profit .. this issue would not have raised.
so taking a learning from this situation
it will help to ponder on what RISK mitigation strategies are available for retail traders to manage similar situation if not such drastic situatiosn ......
Any ideas ..
