I have 8 years of experience in trading. I am a trend follower and I trade mostly using the Turtles method.
Because the markets have changed since the 80s, I use longer periods for breakouts and trailing stops, no pyramiding, and a bigger ATR multiple as stop loss.
Before trading based on a new method or a new set of parameters, I backtest and so should you!
The strategies I sell are coded, public knowledge trading systems that are time proven to be reliable.
Names like Richard Donchian, Tom Basso, Richard Dennis, and Jerry Parker have used or are still using approaches like these.
They do not promise quick gains, a high win rate, or a smooth equity curve just to impress you, only to later blow your account.
These strategies are meant to grow your account balance in the long run, over the years.

The most sold trading robots are those who have a high win rate and show millions of dollars profits in a backtest. They are bought mostly by beginner traders which lack trading education. They think that high win rate is a key condition for success in trading. This comes mainly from the school education when a good grade validates your knowledge. These robots are well marketed but what actual trading strategies are automated of course are black box. The buyer does not need to know what is under the hood. He must believe in the high win rate, spectacular gains, precision, well optimized, professionalism, institutional grade, high quality trading, right trading conditions, intelligent and many other words which sound well at the buyer ear.

The direction of the price evolution cannot be predicted regardless of what you use. The only thing you control is how much you risk per trade. After you place a trade what happens is out of your control.

The worst thing you can do in trading is to not have stop loss at all. Since you can't limit your losses to a predefined percentage from your account by not using a stop loss you invite disaster in your account. The same is by risking too much per trade but this is going to be a subject for another topic.
Let's say that you trade EUR/USD and you use a 50 pips stop loss. Is this too much or too less? It depends the time frame you trade and the market volatility. You see "volatility" which means that the price does not move in average the same all the time. So if you use a fixed number of pips sometimes you will give too much room for the price to evolve and sometimes too little. In either case you will diminish your returns.
To measure the market volatility we use the average true range(ATR) usually with a 14 or 21 period lookback.
Look at the EUR/USD chart an notice how much can change the market volatility.
Things get even worse if you trade a more volatile pair like GBP/USD, not to mention the really volatile pairs like USD/JPY or GBP/JPY. If 50 pips was good enough on EUR/USD it will not suffice for sure on the other pairs.
What you can do in this situation?
You must incorporate volatility in your stop loss calculation. Maybe the simplest way is to use an ATR multiple as distance from your entry point to place your stop loss. By doing this you will reduce the chances to be whipsawed by normal price movement. Let's say that at the moment you want to enter a trade the atr value is 50 pips. You can place the stop loss at 2 or 3 atr multiples distance from the entry which means 100 or 150 pips away. While there is no magic value for the atr multiple you should use still you must know that a tighter stop loss tends to be whipsawed more often. In the same time if the trade runs in your favor you will get more RR multiples. We talk here about a tradeoff.
