S/L hur gör ni!

Hej Vänner. :-) Hur sätter ni era S/L. Enl teorin ... First, stop loss orders a good form of disaster insurance, though they are far from infallible. If the market is going to head in the wrong direction in a hurry, they can get you out of your position before the damage is too great. However, loss stops may not protect you against several days of limit moves, or extreme gap openings. When trading contracts, no matter what you do, there is no perfect way to explicitly define and limit your risk. Still, stops do take some of the intraday worry out of trading. Second, stoploss orders are good for profit protection. Barring extreme price swings, a trailing stop can be an effective way to anchor a set profit. As the market moves and your profit improves, you can gradually move the trailing stop to take in more and more profit. When the market finally does move in an adverse way, the stop liquidates your position with a set profit, and no surprises. Third, whether stop-loss orders are used to exit a trade with a loss or a gain, they take some of the cognitive dissonance out of trading. If you decide that you need to get out when the market hits a certain price, but you're not using a stop order, then as the market trades into that price it's very tempting to think, "But what if it turns up again? Okay, I'll give it ten more ticks. Okay, so that got hit, but it looks like a bottom is forming, so I'll give it five more..." And on and on it goes. With a stop, you're out without arguing with yourself, and you can look for another trade to take. ... Stop loss orders are no more infallible than any other technical trading tool. Market motion cannot be fully anticipated, so stop placement is not an exact science. However, trading without them is more foolish than trading with them, so a stop strategy becomes an essential component of an overall trading method. Source: Stop Loss Orders Så här gör jag: ex.
