pinoycity Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well, since I seldom set SL, it will also follow that I do not set TP. Whenever I trade, I am always in front of my computer checking the happenings so I do not feel the need to set it. Being the beginner trader that I am, I know that I still have much to learn about this thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hmm. I think i have read many times about prioritizing more of the stop loss. But less discussion about take profit. I wonder why too. It seems that it is good to know about limiting the risk and since we do know what will happen if there will be in profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ermaniso2011 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 l think it is better to put a reasonable target to take profit and following the profit with trailing stop is the best style.take profit target will be depend on your position if you join to a brak our or you are scalping.as long as there is a trailing stop settings l think trader can decide the reasonable exit.l dont succest lessthen 10 pips.

omostar Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yes I too prefer the trailing stop to take profit. There are times when you set a take profit and you find outthat the market eventually moved a lot of pips ahead of you take profit. using a trailing stop will help you to lock and protect your profit. At the same time, it will help you to makethe maximum profit possible from a particular trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinoycity Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Would you not berate yourself if it happened that the you could have earned a lot more if you did not out a TP? Greed is really an opponent in Forex but there is also a saying that when opportunities come, we should be prepared for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stezz Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 if i'm AFK i always use TP or SL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinoycity Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 I am also wondering what is the best TP? It can be different for many people. Some would just like to have 20 pips everyday while others want more. I think, it will all depend on the situation. If there is an opportunity to earn more, why not?

flybiz08 Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I am of the opinion that the take profit order is as important as the stop loss order. I f you were to take a trade, then you'd want to make sure that the market price target is hit and this is only achieved by using the take profit. The take profit will also not require a trader to sit in front of the computer until the target is hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROPENSITY100 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Yes take profit is also a good tool and I often use it in Forex trading but I do not use it in all my trades like stop loss. Many times I leave my trades without a take profit but I never leave any trade without a stop loss unless I doing a very quick scalping.

pepy Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Yes take profit is also a good tool and I often use it in Forex trading but I do not use it in all my trades like stop loss. Many times I leave my trades without a take profit but I never leave any trade without a stop loss unless I doing a very quick scalping. i think that feature is good to same just like your opinion, but i prefer stop loss since i think that risk management is important and if i made a lot of mistakes i can stop myself from trading and also it will be good to make me get more loss in the next trading. but i think that is depend on the condition too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Stop loss is just plain feature in Forex trading platform. Well, if we are not the experience trader on monitoring our trades we should definitely put stop loss and take profit in tandem. Because, these are important way to have control and to have manage several or simultaneous trades. I always feel that it will be good for any strategy either scalping or long term trading.

acunmeswew Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Different people have different views on the take profit. For very fearful trader like me, i always use both the take profit and the stop loss. However, if i am lucky to see a trend that appears promising, then I just remove both the stoploss and take profit and replace them with a trailing stop. Some traders believe you should only limit your loss and leave your profit limitless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some traders believe you should only limit your loss and leave your profit limitless. i think you should control your emotion first, fearful trade only limited their earning, i think what you do for yours is good enough for now, and then next trying to do analyzation or learn something from expert, sometimes they can give you some good advice for your own good sake. controlling fearful emotion will make you become a better trader and will give you better result too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddick09 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Or there will be no trades happening or even not use of these take profit or stop loss. Well, traders should have realization about the market conditions before,w e can decide if we can have reasonable use of take profits. I better say that it will always depends on our strategy like long term trading then, we will have big pips target with a low minimum lot size. So, we set T/P long enough relevant to our trading.

It is a good practice to place a TP by looking at the support and resistance levels as those levels are sometimes the main region where the trend reverses usually...

davils9 Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 To make a profit is the main goal of business. But without risk there are no business, so if we want to make a profit we need to leave our greed and be honest. Then we can be success in life. If we want to start the forex business we need to learn more about it, so we can join a forex school and can increase our knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

budado Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I really don't get the question of this thread. Of course its alreay a profit so we get it so why ask the question why? It does not make sense to me. its like asking why a do you breath or drink water and so on. In forex we trade to make profit. Simple as that and I do hope that we can become a successful trader so its not a question why really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle gober Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 With take profit our trading have a clear target, prices go up and down and difficult to predict precisely, with take profit we would not face losses if the price reverses direction, discipline with take profit will keep us from greater losses because of the desire to get as much as possible without considering the risks and without having a target.
