Why not ?

But do you really want to risk 500 pips for a 20 pip profit ?

You will have to win 25 trades to cover just one bad trade.

You will need to ask your forex broker what their limits are.

Not all brokers use the same distance limits.

Hi, 

For me 500 Pips mean you don't know what happen in the market or the chart, if the price went against you you will keep waiting hoping praying that the price will come back and here you will be gamer not trader, I use stop 10 - 15 pips but I use it only to be secure from the big fast moves but normally I understand when the price will go against me and I close my trades manully before it's hit the stop and the same with take profit.

Regards
