    How to determine SL on limit orders

    Hi, I want to know if anybody could tell me about how to determine SL if we're using a limit order (buy limitation or sell limitation ). For example, if we draw a Fib and also we found a confluence on the chart but don't have enough opportunity to monitor how price respond, I would use a limit order set on the confluence zone, however, I am confused regarding the SL dimensions (in pips) that I should provide. I know where to put my SL when its order after a particular response for example, a pinbar or an engulfing bar. However, what about on a buy limitation or sell limit orders? I would appreciate any pointers

    In my humblest of opinions, look in Sam Seiden's work and you've got an amount to get a challenging stop loss.

    in case you have researched this method (and I hope you have) then you'll have a general idea of the expected reward/risk ratio. Assuming that you know to not trade into evident strong support or resistance, then your stop loss (along with your take profit, probably) is a function of the expected movement of a pair on any given time frame. The ideal instrument to use for this can be the ATR or average true range. You need to back test your egy testing various fractions or multiples of this ATR(14), state, and put up your transactions accordingly. With a decent sample you may even be able to calculate a rough expectancy figure on your egy.

    From 1 newb into another..the cooloest thing I've run into this way is xmans channel indy. Not only does it perform appropriate channels for you (the majority of the time), it teaches you how these operate.... I have not turned off it since I installed it. Of course, s/r amounts, going with the fashion and also the time of day you're trading are key also.
