It goes without saying that setting a stop loss is considered to be the most essential step in any trading strategy. But to my great regret many beginners often underestimate the whole importance of this nuance in stock trading. That’s why they keep on suffering heavy losses. It’s clear that you need to determine how to set it as soon as possible if you are eagerly looking forward to success in stock trading.
From my point of view they should be set exactly below your recent levels of support. I’d like to inform you that these levels of support are simply special points at which a particular downward heading stock gets a price where there are more buyers than sellers. In other words in this case the overall stock direction goes upwards. I should say that the most significant levels of support arise when a particular stock is heading very sharply downwards and after this it turns and certainly heads more sharply upwards once again.
From my point of view a stop loss placed under a very significant support level has got very few chances to get triggered when compared with that one placed under not-so significant support level. It’s because these significant levels of support really require huge amounts of selling pressure for the purpose of getting breached while minor supports are likely to give way easily.
When you decide where you should place your stop loss all you need to do is just take a note of your most recent considerable level of support. If you’ve been watching your stocks very closely before buying them then in this case the most recent important level shouldn’t be too far behind you and accordingly it shouldn’t too far below as well. It goes without saying that the more significant your support level the better results you’ll have.
Of course most probably that your stop loss will be much tighter when compared with your maximum and from my point of view with your growing experience it will go on getting tighter any way. By the way I’d like to add that as usual bad trades are limited to such a figure as $300. I should say that it’s just a fair risk for your gains with the amount of $2000 for your full trading cycle.
It goes without saying that you can have an excellent opportunity of getting a better feel for the exact location of the true breaking point of a particular stock. By the way I should stress that this breaking point greatly varies between different equities as well as different industries. When you make a few real trades you’ll feel more confident from my point of view. From this moment your experience will start growing any way.
It makes no difference if you .
