How to set stop loss for your stock trading positions

-

 If you make entry in a position at a right level, stop loss will not be deep. Stop loss levels and target levels should determined before entering a trade. They should be recorded. Stop loss helps traders to sell a stock when it reaches specific price levels to minimise loss. 

Figuring out where to place your stop-loss depends on your risk threshold and nature of the stock.

First method is the percentage method - it limits the stop-loss at a specific percentage levels which become stop loss level 1 (SL1) and stop loss level 2 (SL2) . For example, for a volatile stock, SL1 may be at 10% and SL2 at 15%. For a less volatile stock, these can be at 5% and 10%.

Second method is the support method - an investor determines the most recent support level of the stock and places the stop-loss just below that level. The third is moving average method - SL1 placed just below short term moving average and SL2 placed just below a longer-term moving average price.

How ₹80,000/Month Can Beat ₹2 Lakh/Month: A Simple Story of Growing Wealth 1. Big Income Doesn’t Always Mean Big Savings Just because someone earns more money doesn’t mean they become rich. What matters is how you use your money , not just how much you earn. Example: A man earning ₹80,000/month can save and invest wisely. Another person earning ₹2 lakh/month may spend everything and save nothing. 2. Story 1: The ₹80,000/Month Man Who Grows Rich He has no loans (no credit card debt, no EMI). He keeps money saved for emergencies – enough for 6 months of his expenses. He puts ₹15,000 every month into investments (SIPs – explained below). Every few years, he adds extra money (₹90,000 in year 3, 5, and 7). After 12 years, his total savings grow to about ₹70 lakh – even though his salary was not very high. 3. Story 2: The ₹2 Lakh/Month Man Who Stays Poor He spends on a big house, car, holidays, and shopping. He doesn’t save or invest. Even after 12 years, he has noth...
