so many people dont understand how to use a stop loss, but most of the time I find it a liability because, the balances that we have to work with are usually the ideas to which we can have a win win or win lose ratio, because if I have a 30 win and 70 lose ration then i SHOULD always win more that helps a lot , because 5 wins and 2 losses would mean a average of about 10 pips but also if you check on 10 wins and 2 loss that is a good ratio, also good money management must be a key .
