Stop loss are every traders last defense, if a trade is not going according to your plan the next thing that happens is your stop loss get hit and you are out of the market.

Many traders don't know how to set accurate stop loss and they complain about how market always hit their stop before going to their intended or pre planned direction, this article aims at providing a solution for that through a simple yet effective strategy, first of all, when you spot a trade on a higher timeframe, the next thing to do is to move to the lower timeframe.

Understand what's happening on lower timeframes, look at the key support and resistance, and also remember the more a zone is tested the more susceptible it I to be broken, so you need to find a zone that is not tested countless times, and use a horizontal line to demarcate it.

Now, put your stop loss just below it, with 40 pips, this will make sure your account is protected from spikes that may happen, if you don't have enough equity you can reduce your lot size and use a cent account to be able to take more pips when setting stop loss.

Don’t get allured by the mesmerizing packages of scam brokers. Traders must be very much careful about selecting brokers. But I have been with Eurotrader broker for a long time and this is really a scam free broker. The broker ensures high security of funding so big investors can easily entrust their fund into the broker.
