Day 2 – Stop-Loss Placement That Actually Works
A well-placed stop-loss protects capital by exiting trades when the market invalidates your setup, not based on fear or random price levels.
Example: A stock is trading at ₹500 and has strong support at ₹490. You enter a buy trade at ₹500. Instead of placing a tight stop at ₹498, you place it below support at ₹487. This avoids premature stop-loss hits due to normal price fluctuations.
📝 Word Of The Day
Gap Up/Gap Down : A gap occurs when a stock or index opens at a price significantly higher or lower than the previous day’s close, leaving a visible “gap” on the chart.
