How to protect my account from huge losses? - page 4

 

One way to protect your downside in the markets is through the use of sell stops and sell stop limit orders. A sell stop order, often referred to as a stop-loss order, is an order to sell a stock once it reaches a certain price. If the stock reaches the stop price, the order is then executed and shares are sold at the market price for the stock. When the order is to sell, the stop is always placed below the stock's market price.

A stop-limit order is an order to sell a stock once a specific price is reached, as long as the price does not fall below the limit specified by the investor. If the stock reaches the stop price, the order is converted to a limit order. The benefit of the limit order is that you have more control over the price at which the sell will be executed.

 

Limit orders can not protect your account

Usual way of protection are stop losses, but there is no guarantee that they are going to b triggered at your desired price (in the case of gaps)

Avoid trading on news day or put two pending stop order on both direction and when you winning, always use partial profit for that. if something moving very volatile like interest rate news, i say take profit and exit position , in case of loss, if you're averaging if it's near breakeven, exit position. when you use pending stop always use market order .
