Last week we have published a post about the optimal stop-loss size. The post obviously brought attention, and I got one very interesting (and important) feedback that I would like to use as a subject for this week’s post. But first, let me post the email...
Big stop-losses versus small stop-losses
Last week, an interesting discussion about optimal stop-loss sizes and methods was started in the private Breakout Masterclass Community forum. I think it’s a pretty good topic, which can often be misunderstood, so let’s talk about stop-losses a bit more...
