Gaurav Sharma on 18 May 09If there is one area guaranteed to confuse many traders and lead to multiple opinions on the most appropriate approach, it is the subject of stop losses. The science and the art of placing stops is featured extensively in many trading books and guides, but the bottom line is that there is no right or wrong answer, simply the fact that stop losses must be used to limit potential downside exposure when trading. Traders should also be careful not to confuse stop losses with buy stops, which trigger an opening position rather than closing the trade. It is very important not to package together the placing of stops with money management, as the two represent different strands of trading. Simply put, stops are there to protect profits and limit the potential downside at any time once a trade has been opened, and are part of an exit strategy for trades that are already open. Money management covers position sizing or amounts to be risked within each trade of a portfolio.
