    Zak Mir, an experienced technical analyst comments about entering and exiting trades. How/When to Exit a Trade.
    How to Determine Take Profit and Stop Loss Levels. I know what works and what works is successful money management over and above charting or the technical aspects. You take a position, irrespective if this was done on the toss of a coin and you move the stop loss with that position until the market stops you out. The key is to raise your stop loss to breakeven level as soon as possible. That way it is difficult to get wiped out and one day you will have a very big winner. I know that sounds like i'm doing myself out of a job but it important to be realistic what is effective and not effective. Money management is so important in this game. I think you can determine the take profit and stop levels using the average true range but really all you need to be concerned about is raising your stop to breakeven.

    most useful info that 99% of these BS youtube videos, all they talk about is how to grow your account and how you can turn 1000$ into millions.
    What this guy is saying is what i been doing for 6 weeks now, 50$ wins over and over and few 120$s or ... my account is up 33% already

    About 80% of the time, I make about 1.5 times my SL and even run into 1:2 RR. but it turns and hit my SL. Proper targeting has been my problem. Just this morning I let 106pips on Brent oil turn into loses and hit my 30pip SL.
    I'll learn to use this idea very well. Thank you very much.

    Just came across this video while looking for some word on stop loss after being stopped out several times in my trades without a loss or very little profit. I guess my impatient was beginning to weigh in on me. After watching and listening the video, was encouraged to know I am on the right track. With my trading experience, I could easily relate to the issues raised in the video.The best video on stop loss explanation and other related issues. Kept it short & simple. Good examples used along the way. It has ideas that are relevant now and then. Was the course of how to identify and handle the five types of trades ever made?

  • @damiancallender6621
    @damiancallender6621 5 лет назад

    What would be the drawback of a strategy were you move your stop to break even and let the position run for the entire day or a set period of time (30 min - 1 hour)? A strategy like that seems very unemotional.
    Place trade, trade goes in your favor 10-15 cents, move to break even, then hold for the big win. Any thoughts? Great teacher. Great video. Great channel. Thanks you in advance.

    Moving a stop loss to break even as soon as possible is playing not to lose rather than not to win, you may get taken out on noise before the market goes in your favour.

  • @axiomist1076
    @axiomist1076 8 лет назад +5

    I did just that : I put in a trade on Thursday and it immediately went against me. It kept falling and I got a feeling to get out, but I wanted to "believe" in my stop (something I learned in the past) so I held and I finally got stopped out with a thousand dollar loss by Tuesday. Got to "listen" to those hunches. Believe it or not, we KNOW what's right, but we get stuck on things we've "learned and get screwed. Great video. One for my file.

    • @xxxxxGhostBoyxxxxx
      @xxxxxGhostBoyxxxxx 7 лет назад +8

      If you think thousand dollar loss is too big for you to emotionally handle it, why did you put your S/L at that level, even you think the S/L must be there, then you should sized your position. Nothing wrong with what you learned, its how you applied it. Hunch trading for gamblers, they never fold when they on a winning streak and they double down when odds are against them.

    • @religionripper2116
      @religionripper2116 6 лет назад +7

      Listening to those "hunches" is why 90% traders don't come out alive. The more well defined your system is, your hunch will have no place for good. And we might on some occasion know what's right but most of the time you wouldn't. And your losses will be greater when you are wrong compared to your profits when you would be right. If trading based on hunches really amassed anything, retail traders would be making money all the time.

  • @ChrisMadesh

    The best way to do it is if your trades have equal SL and TP. If one trade can bring back three losses, then that same trade can take back three profits.
