Where to place your stop ? ( educational )



A common question when entering someone else’s idea or even for those who analyze the market with me

Below are the strategies that actually work

Most people know how to “find setups” -the problem starts after the entry

Types of stops:

1. technical - behind a level / liquidity / OB

2. RR-based - fixed risk (e.g. 1–2%)

3. structural - where your idea is invalidated ( best one)

Main rule:

your stop = point where your idea is no longer valid
not “somewhere convenient”

When to move to BE:

after price reacts and moves in your direction and you don’t want to give back risk

IMPORTANT - if you’re already in profit and news is coming, move to BE

When to close manually:

1. an opposite setup appears

2. no continuation after the impulse

profit comes from the strategy
but money is saved by your stop

you can read the market perfectly, but a bad stop will cost you hundreds of trades ngl

inside NETWORK you can ask mentors to review your trades and your stops as well
