I have a problem with my stop-loss - Mike
Wednesday, 11/11/09 06:33
For example, on monday i took the GBP/USD higher and placed a stop, but on Tuesday i got stopped out, only to see it climb back throughout the trading day.

It was really dissapointing as i can now see that my trade is going how i planned.

Where should i place my stop?
Its good that you placed a stop - Adam

Hey Mike,

First of all its great that you placed a stop, cause look what happened yesterday.
The Pound failed to break higher and dropped under resistance.

About stop - that is the million Dollar question.
Where to place? Too close will often get hit, too far can result in a heavy loss.

I normally give myself quite a lot of room when trading Forex, due to the volatility.

There are many ways to place your stop; beneath prior lows, by using a moving average, or a fixed percentage

Its all trial and error

Hope that helped
