Why and how to set a stop loss in precious metal trading?
the market is constantly fluctuating, so it is impossible to keep going in the same direction. The reason why investors usually decide to enter the market lies in the judgment of a certain direction of the market, especially at some key price points, whether or not to break through will become the focus of market disputes, and the market is full of disputes about whether or not to break through and the development trend, not to mention the unexpected breakthrough event that may change the development pattern of the whole market at any time, which is precisely the uncertainty of the market. In this case, investors can't be sure of the right choice. In order to prevent one thousand, it is necessary to set a stop loss and try to minimize their own losses. What needs to be clear is that there will always be opportunities in this market, but once you lose all your money, you will lose the ability to look for opportunities again. Therefore, in order to avoid risks, it is not only necessary but also very important to set a stop loss. First of all, we must determine our psychological endurance. Of course, this is related to the size of an individual account. For a large account with abundant funds, or if it is a slightly longer long-term account, you can set the stop loss a little bigger. For investors with small accounts, it is necessary to set a stop loss carefully. In different profit and loss States, the purpose of stop loss is to reduce losses and keep profits. Therefore, the setting of stop loss position must be adjusted reasonably around the market price and profit and loss status. Several commonly used stop loss methods mainly include fixed stop loss method and technical stop loss method. 1. Fixed Stop Loss Method This is the simplest stop loss method. It refers to setting the loss amount to a fixed ratio, and closing the position in time once the loss is greater than this ratio. It generally applies to two types of investors: first, investors who have just entered the market; Second, investors in risky markets (such as futures markets). The mandatory effect of fixed stop loss is obvious, and investors do not need to rely too much on the judgment of the market. 2. Technical stop-loss method combines stop-loss setting with technical analysis, and sets stop-loss orders at key technical positions after eliminating random market fluctuations, thus avoiding further expansion of losses. Generally speaking, the technical stop loss method is used, that is, betting big profits with small losses. Through the analysis of the price operation pattern, once the price is found to be broken, stop loss will be determined. In actual combat, investors should also pay attention to the fact that they can't reach out to pick up the flying knife after the stop loss. After the downward trend of prices is established, they should hold the purse tightly and grab the rebound in the downward trend, just like licking blood from the knife and taking copper coins from the fire, especially the infinite and small staggered decline, which often makes investors have the illusion of stopping the fall, thus missing the opportunity to stop the loss early. Among them, there are mainly the following situations: 1) trend tangent stop loss method: including the tangent of the price effectively falling below the trend line; Does the price effectively break Gann angle line 1? 1 or 2? Line 1; The price effectively fell below the lower track of the rising channel. 2) morphological stop loss method: including the price breaking the neckline position of head shapes such as head and shoulder top, M head and arc top; The price jumps downward, breaks through the gap and so on. 3)K-line stop loss method: including special K-line and K-line combination, for example, short guns with two yin and one yang, two yin and two yang behind the yin, twilight star, shooting star, etc. 4) Chip Stop Loss Method: The chip transaction intensive area will directly support and resist the price. After a solid bottom is punctured, it will often be transformed from the original support area to the resistance area. Set the stop loss position according to the chip transaction intensive area, and stop the loss immediately once it is broken. The setting of stop-loss price should pay attention to the following factors: first, we should look for the previous major mark or the new high (new low) on the technical graph from the general trend, or the price that the market has "confirmed" more than once and is difficult to break through; Second, the main analysis price in technical analysis, technical index price is usually used by professional traders and professional traders, and these prices also need to be paid attention to; Third, the price that the government or central bank officials have emphasized; Fourth, the most important point is to constantly sum up and accumulate from daily operations, and find a stop-loss method suitable for your own situation is the key. ; Operation tips: be firm and decisive, position operation, overcome fear, refuse greed, and be light. Take advantage of the trend, stop loss and be patient!
