STOP ORDER: Stop Order can be used for three purposes:
1) to minimise a loss on a long or short position.
2) to protect a profit on an existing long or short position
3) to initiate a new long or short position
I agree, you need a ratio of 1:1 or better.
This way long term you would still break even.
Your edge in your trading method will then give you your profit.
this is a long term business!
