I can never trade without using my stop loss and take profits, even if i trades the longer term that i might leave the trader for days, i will still place these essential rules that will help me to manage my account better in case of unexpected trading. To say the truth, you can not have them absent and thinks you are a better trader.Are you using stop loss or take profit?

Here are some methodologies how to set target and stop-loss,

1. Based on strategy
a. No worry about margin call as having enough capital
b. As per strategy suggests target will be at where current trend ends and stop-loss at trend might get reverse.

2. Based on money management
a. Even strategy suggest one SL, but putting different SL to keep loss smaller. May market re-enter as per call and may hit target.
b. Used this methodology to keep in race and cut loss shorter

3. Stop-loss pips = target pips
a. Even opened position based on strategy, luck plays a role here.
b. In long term, might give better results...

4. Stop-loss pips > target pips
a. Having less confident on strategy but more confident on target that is achievable easily
b. Better suits for scalping

5. Stop-loss pips < target pips
a. Having more confident on strategy
b. In long term, might give better results

i think you can open a position either to sell or buy without using a take profit if you are in a strong trend and probably trading from the daily time frame but i strongly advise without using a stop loss, reason being that s single spike can wipe out your account leaving you with regrets. in forex, its better to fight and run and fight another day.

I am a retail trader! That’s way, I can’t avoid stop loss trading tool actually. On the other hand, I need to use take profit also because this useful trading tool brings best profit for me during my absence. I get NDD technology facility into my live chart from TradingBanks broker, so I have a fresh live trading chart without any technical error.

Trading with real money should be viewed as a serious business. As such, you should take the time to ensure that you thoroughly understand the most basic tools of the business. The use of Stop Loss providing security to traders on price movements due to the unstable, especially when there is the news release. I am now trying to use it often through the ECN account in TICKMILL

I am sure those who neglects the forex market rules and don't try stop losses are merely committing a suicide in forex trading. May be some of them have already blown their account due to this issue.
