Is stoploss using for losing money or Risk managment?

Many a times you notices that you put stop loss in trade and stock just came down in case of buy trade & hit your stoploss and getting bounce back exact from your stoploss rate and you lose money. You feel so frustrated and then getting nervous because you lost money on that trade. Again on some other day you facing same thing and you lost money in that trade too. What is your feeling now? I just imagine what my Gujju trader’s reaction words at that time, “Maro j stopploss khava avyo” or “stoploss mukiye to khavay j jay”. And then you decided to not putting stoploss in any trade because of your bad experience in past.

In any type of trading intraday, positional, swing the role of stoploss is very important as its unique tool for minimizing your risk while you trading. Yes it’s a tool which protect you from huge losses and keep you in market for longer time otherwise you lost your majority of the capital and when time comes for aggressive trading in market your capital evaporated.

Here the question comes to your mind that what one trader can do if such type of things happen to any trader which I already mentioned. See it’s depending on the trader which type of stoploss they are using.

There are types of stoploss as below:
1.       Technical Stoploss :  Based on proper level based on Technical Analysis
2.       Time stoploss : Based on time parameter which may differ from a single day to many days
3.       Monetary stoploss : Traders use by their conviction no technical or time factor be used
4.       Trailing stoploss: it’s been using for booking profits and for closing of open trades in profits.

Now the traders who using the monetary stoploss may facing the situation that stoploss may always trigger and you always lose money by putting stoploss while trading. This is just one belief of some traders who using monetary stoploss.
So be careful which types of stoploss you are using ?



Happy Trading
