Stop loss should be your number one tool in your toolbox, it is like an armor, it shields you when the market attacks, it is hard to win in the market without your shield, forex trading is not an input output type of business, it is a maze, you can have the best setup in the market but it may reverse on you, this is where your stop loss will help you, in this short article I will help you in understanding how to place a stop loss in a chart.
When you want to place your stop loss, make sure you dial down to the lower timeframe and look at it the latest swing and place your stop loss just above it or below it depending on the position you are taking, this is like hiding it but in hindsight, it is not too far from your entry, so you won't suffer any drawdowns and it is not also too close to your entry so you won't be stopped out at entry.
This is a practical of mitigating risk, even if your stop loss get hit, you will close with a small loss, but if it go your way, you will make a lot without risking much.
