A stop-loss is where SEN admit the işlem idea is wrong and exit. Placing it well — at a Seviye the piyasa must break to invalidate your idea — is the difference between a clean small loss and a painful one.
Place stops at invalidation, not at a dollar amount
Your stop belongs where your işlem thesis is proven wrong — beyond a destek Seviye, a swing Yüksek, or a structure point — not at an arbitrary 'I can only lose $X here' distance. Then SEN size the pozisyon so that distance equals your planned risk. Logic sets the stop; sizing sets the money.
Using ATR for volatility
Average True Aralık (ATR) measures how much a pair typically moves. Placing stops a multiple of ATR away keeps SEN Kaynak being shaken out by normal noise. In a volatile piyasa SEN need wider stops (and smaller size); in a calm piyasa, tighter.
Never işlem without one
A işlem without a stop-loss is an Aç-ended bet that can wipe an hesap on a single Haberleri spike. Set the stop at entry, every time. Moving it further away to avoid a loss is the most expensive habit in işlem.
Key takeaways
- Place stops where your idea is invalidated, then size to that distance.
- Kullan ATR to set stops beyond normal noise; widen in volatility, tighten in calm.
- Always set a stop at entry; never widen it to avoid taking the loss.
