Increase win rate with tight stop losses in Fx scalping

With 80% of the method and a 1-pip stop loss

I tried to see what kind of result it would yield

More than 10 lots

The conclusion is a loss of nearly $2,000!

I should have done it with 1 lot or 2 lots

I was driven by the desire to know what would happen with 10 lots or 20 lots!

In a high-volatility moment of the indicator

I practiced as a normal-time drill to scalp

Even in low volatility, a 1-pip stop loss doesn’t work well

I succeeded only once out of 11 tries

The reason is that during the processing of buy/sell orders

the stop loss is triggered due to market distortion or spread

If the stop loss width had a bit more room, 3 pips or 4 pips

I think a method with an 80% win rate would still work

In other words, the stop loss

won’t improve the win rate unless there is a certain amount of margin

Ultimately, win rate is of course also about where you enter, but

the stop loss is greatly related

It shouldn’t be too tight, and using a large lot makes

setting a wide stop also more difficult!!

Moreover, we set the stop loss at 1 pip

and even that can be off

For example, the top entry price in the image is

132.244 the stop loss is 132.256

not exactly 1.0 but off by 1.1

Even in normal times, with this

when volatility increases

a 1-pip stop loss would hardly work

So the stop loss is

When scalping

A stop of at least 3-4 pips or more is good
