Forex Trading Without Stoploss |
The only advantages of using a stoploss is it will prevent your account from further loss that could result to a margin call if not wiping out your whole account. But what if, when the stoploss was hit and the market started to go back to your direction? For sure, you will regret closing the position.
To trade without using a stoploss, we should enter the lowest posible lot for trade, so that when the market goes back to its direction after giving too much volatility, our entered position are still there.
If you have these qualities you can trade without using a stoploss
- Not Greedy - entering a lowest possible lot will give few profits, but it will also give small negative floating profit if we are wrong on our analysis.
- Patience - Floating position can last up to several days, weeks or months before it can show some profit.
- Discipline - If we have a rule that we will only enter 1 position at a time, we should follow our rules, or else we will result from overtrading because the prevoius position are still open and waiting to become positive.
Trading without stoploss are not recommended for newbie traders because of lack of those qualities. Before we think of profit in forex, we should think first how we can sustain the volatility of market and one of the best way to do that is to enter the lowest possible lot.
A note of caution... Depending on: (a) the currency pair being traded, (b) its swap (rollover) rate, and (c) the direction of the trade (buy or sell); "several days, weeks or months" of holding the open trade may result in cumulative swap fees that exceed the trade's profit.
