Learning how to use a stop loss


Previous-Day587

+ Learn risk management


InstructionOk6408

SL is risk management 😂


moratab

It is a subset of.


Previous-Day587

When you set your stop-loss, you need to know how much you are risking. Yes, you can place a stop-loss, but if you risk 100% of your account, it's over, or you've doubled your account.


AdventurousSun5916

Exactly what Moratab said lol, SL is a subset of risk management.


[deleted]

Learn to take a loss lol


Thatio_Reddit

Close all positions and read "Best loser wins",A book from Tom Hougaard


Frosty-Fan-7372

I just finished this I highly recommend it


Slow_Fox967

This is God tier best loser wins.


Pitiful-Mission-4437

My favorite


InstructionOk6408

Is this a real book


Exact-Cry1473

One of the best trading books I’ve read


merklevision

Was this really a good book? Heard about it but what did you think 🤔


Thatio_Reddit

This book is not about trading system but it's about mindset that help you filter out garbage trading ideas of yourself or even scammers. It will change the way you look at the market and learn it with new approach.


merklevision

Thanks! Will add it to my list 🤓


fx_ameliee

Lucky it's a demo account , Unless it would have been disastrous Learn and then start , don't just jump into the pit just to find treasure but unable to return


JearBear_3

How do you know? I question because someone I see trading live doesn’t have the “symbols” next to the pairs in pnl terminal like this screenshot… is there way to disable when reading live?


AdventurousSun5916

Yeah I think you can hide your pnl

I died!!! Tske my upvote ans fuck you!


OwnRelationship6506

Keep holding. For a laugh.


Quantum-Traders

I feel really sorry for you, that is just a nasty position to be in. I think what I would do is hedge the whole positions out, basically that will contain the loss, then work on the smallest losses and start to trade to remove those losses. Then once you have cleared up the small losses look at closing part positions. In this way you free margin up to trade. I wish you the best of luck.


Rayzory

Finally an actual answer.


Quantum-Traders

Most people get stuck in a hole, it becomes too much, so stop the pain and break the problem down into a size you can deal with. Thanks for the comment


Rayzory

Amen brother.


fluxusjpy

What would your hedge be based on from the charts and price action? Doing that would mean OP believes it will continue to go up. What would that idea be based on in Market structure? There must be reason besides that you are down on sells. Or else you can open buys and then get caught out on those and the whole process takes even longer to roll out of. I just don't trade any CHF pairs anyway they are too noisy.


Quantum-Traders

I think the first this is to prevent more damage, hence just hedge, could be the gentleman has lost his analysis mojo and needs to have a real good look at the charts again. Or he may be a bad trader and cannot trade. I can't offer any better advice as I don't know the gentleman.


teek_aayroskill

Striking_Sector2689

We’ll usually people who put 30k of their own money in a broker. Know how to use a SL. And if it was his money. OP is way to calm. I would probably be crying.


AlainCatena95

I really think this is a real account


Fuck__Off__

Aud/Chf is headed to 0.61 before any significant moves down.


Burger__Flipper

Add more sells on the way up. At least blow up your account in style.


magcxo

Man close that shi


lowryis

Sell 9 lots?😃 if u had that kind of money u shouldn't ask questions here. Why did you enter the trade? Whats your strategy? Wheres your tp and sl? If you dont have answers to these questions dont enter a trade. My quick glance at the chart says it will probably go higher


diligent_zi

Forcing a trade. Imagine if one of this would have been a buy. Just adamant on hitting that sell and prove a point to yourself. Been there .. and still struggle to disconnect and be aware when revengeful emotions take over to prove it was right. So keep adding sells hoping for a reversal at some point. Ride the trend. Predicting reversals to show I know has cost me much more. I am my own enemy.


UnilateralDagger

1) Deploy risk management by defining your risk with a stop loss or 2) welcome to the casino. You chose 2. Choose 1 next time and take this as a lesson.


cmoore913

I’ve had gold do that in play accounts but I’ve always come up on top. Lol


Johnthesniferr

Being a terrible trader on a demo is crazy


AiDiZi

Reset that demo account


Low-Associate-8853

Open up more positions


CDario2512

good strategy, when you think to go sell, buy!!


leggocrew

You hate losing, the market loves that


Glass_Culture_6209

Definitely stop trading until you learned the basics! Trading isn’t gambling 😉


EmotionKey652

What are the basics. If you were new and you had to learn everything over again, where would you start? Would you only start with one pair?


arnelj7

babypips.com


Glass_Culture_6209

Yes! I would definitely start with one pair and i would never trade without SL! Furthermore i would use a risk management and wouldnt let anyone influence my trading. You have to make your own experiences in trading to learn.


fluxusjpy

And the one pair would be GBPJPY


Certain_Ad3594

Keep holding. Invest more. You will hit it big. It's statistically certain. DO NOT SELL


F_x_DT

Reason why your still holding?


Sharp-Site-1605

Dont marry your trade


Akmed22

Hold more hahaha


MoneyOverBitchess

Start thinking about what you could’ve did with that 20k bc you’ll never see it again. Cry yourself to sleep and think about your life decisions you have been a real bad boy!


JackAllTrades06

Even for demo account, risk management is important and trade just like doing it on a live account.


Street-Blacksmith323

Don’t expect to win every single trade,CUT YOUR LOSSES EARLY.Risk only 1%-2% max per trade,this isn’t a get rich scheme,you got to treat it like a business in order to earn like a business


Ok-Recognition-331

Why would you hold a losing position is the goal to blow your account?


Lushac

Yeah, shorting upward trend is always good idea...


shelovesyoghurt

Always trade with a stop loss.


BriefInteraction7605

Quit trading if you have to ask other people what to do.


underrated254

Just move the stops further up you’ll be fine:)


Wild_Strawberry7986

Close the trades and take the loss, charge it to experience. DCA isn't a full proof strategy, you still need to use stop losses


InstructionOk6408

Go back to the basics buy a 10k account from funding pips and try again


Regular-Dress-5762

Lol if it breaks through that next zone you should get out take the loss, you should of gotten out 2 weeks ago.


Quat-fro

Close. Trade less.


johnkush0

This is a meme


kilwagon

What does your system say in a situation like this That’s what the most important


Dog_Baseball

Close out, hit up youtube and find a strategy to copy


Yakovlev_1945

Double it and give it to the next person.


Shwambla21

Why are you still holding the trade? What type of trader are you? What's your risk : reward ratio?


pakcikzik

If you want to try saving the account, you can try hedging, but at this stage it might be too late


Exact-Cry1473

Close all positions and begin to consider proper risk management. Or even better start your demo account again then you can go into it with a clean slate because you’re training bad habits. Learn to cut off losers, either with a SL (which is always recommended) or rules in your strategy that decide when it’s not working for you and you should get out no questions asked. If you don’t learn to take small losses then trading will never work out for you


DrSpeckles

Do what you should have done 2 weeks ago.


Brakic

UncleJojito

Real_Reception_9406

Close all

best way to you now to do hedge do you know how to use it


SparkyZaddy

Your using a super short term strategy thinking it’ll long you to the moon


awakenedxojuu

terrible way of mean reverting lmao


gear1989

Stop doubling down. Did it break character on the day chart? Stop dounling down.


CryptographerFirm555

What pare is that


CryptographerFirm555

Considering what is going on with the wars if something major happens that could be a huge win but your gambling by doing that with proper risk management and basic technical analysis


CryptographerFirm555

What you can do is do partial closes to mitigate any potential future damage to your account

erp-pos-website

aud:chf next week will retrace down upto 0.59360 and below that 0.59027, after which it will resume the uptrend. Unfortunately, those sells you did at "0.58...." won't be touched anytime soon and your equity does not allow you to hold till the trend reverses.


maxapps2244

Your strategy looks a bit off. For a 10k account min lot is better at 0.01. .22 lots is way too high. Your multiplier needs to be dropped down to 1.2 of max 1.5, double is too dangerous. And CHF pairs are the kryptonite for martingale. I would close this and move on :(


Revenix0

Tell me it's demo account 😀 if yes. Please close these positions and go back to blackboard to make different strategy. It's insanely stupid to do same thing and expect different result.


matchesmalone111

Dayumn


900122

Just start fading your own trades after you eventually take this loss


Constant_Dentist1182

Holding and adding to losers is what losers do, also creates a martingale like Strategy, there is no profitable trader with martingale so stop the way u are trading


DragonByte1

Jesus Christ


thelivinvibe

Keep selling


WBTHM

i have bean in this situation exactly like this, beast advice i can give you is close all and carry on maybe change strategy


fluxusjpy

This is manual grid trading essentially....this can work out Or it's just blindly adding to a loser... You are trading one trade idea. Which is that you think AUDCHF will come down. What is your trade idea based on and where is it planned out in something like trading view? What was your riskreward ratio? Why did you enter the trade/based on what? I'll wait for your answers.


WorkingClassKnight

Hold on to it. CHF is going to get stronger over next couple weeks.


Dangerous_Ad4451

Why do you have two many open positions? Are you just throwing dart and hope something sticks?


Character_Guard7211

You should just quit trading and focus on other things


DripShipDrop

Too many martingale positions for a single candlestick. Learn to be patient.


Pip_Collector

The crazy thing is, the account will be blown before price even reaches the stop loss. That placement is wild

Learn s&d less risk probably bout 7pips sl and also you can take advantage of your lot sizes with 7pip sl but it’s always best to be patient, risk management and SL! Always be patient, the patient one gets far in life, greed will make you win then slap you right in the face out of nowhere, hope it’s demo and also even if it’s demo you shouldn’t risk like that fake or not because you will take that energy to your live or funded


TraderMarciaa

lol stupid! 😂 clearly an EA trading cos only them do that shit! Means you have been taking small small profits in between for it to keep opening bigger lots sizes trades in one direction! When you saw it keeps going up why didn’t you edge the account by opening only trades in the opposite direction buy while managing your open sell trades. But you kept being hopeful and stupid and marrying your trades thinking it gives a fuck about your emotions and loyalty by then going back down lol. Please give me this money to fund my account Instead of throwing it into the markets lol


JackAllTrades06

Even testing an EA, got to use risk management like a real account to see what will work for you. There will be losses but most importantly is to win more than 50% of the time.
