Hello,
My name is Tavnaz and i am new to trading forex.
And before proceeding i would like to thank Fxtiger ji for starting a thread on forex questions and answers.:thumb:
Now to the point.
I am having trouble regarding my trading strategy which is price action based.
Actually what is happening is my account is in stagnent mode.
I traded 10 days ago and went up 200 $ and i am down 190 $ now with just 10 $ net profit.
My problem is my stop losses are getting hit too often every time i get profit other losses get the better of it.
So my question is what is the best take profit and stop loss for any currency pair in order to prevent wiggle movement hitting my stop loss.
So that my take profit hit more often then stop loss.
currently i take 1.2:1 Reward/Risk ratio.
Like 24 pips take profit and 20 pips stop loss and something like that.
I am very much confused.
Kindly help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Hello Tanvaz,
Thanks for the Questions and Nice to know you getting profit overall which Everyone/many finding themselves hard at first.... :clapping:
Regarding Stop-Loss,
Its really Based on Style and Method of your Strategy and Trading. Aggressive or Conserative Style?
I normally use 50 pips SL for 30,50 and 100 as TP Levels. Because My Strategy is more like an pullback method which usually i set my trade before an entry reached there.
----------------------
Lets Come to your Work..
Say and I will say my view on SL Setting, Try how much average pips you drawdwn or make opposite move....Find it for last 50 trades...then we can get an Idea for SL and TP.
I prefer big sl and tp if you are system have low drawdown.
