Swing Trading using the 4-hour chart
Part 3: Where Do I Put My stop?
In the third part of the series on "Swing Trading using the 4-hour chart“, the Heikin Ashi Trader treats the question on where the stop should be. Once a trader stops introducing stops, he will discover that his hit rate will worsen. However, by doing this he gains full control of the trade management. Stops are therefore not unavoidable, but remain an integral part of a trading system that is profit-oriented.
Well understood stops are downright the actual instrument that makes profit possible. Since money is only earned when he exits the trade, the trader should try to perform the stop management with the utmost care. The formulation of crystal-clear rules, both for trend trades as well as for trades with a fixed target, after all, is the requirement to ensure that the trader is playing his own game.
Every successful trader has ultimately developed his own rules. No matter what the market does, this trader always plays his own game and can be swayed by anything. Precisely the persistence and consistency with which he operates in the market ensures that he becomes one day the "Master of the Game".

ARE STOPS NECESSARY?
Where do I put my stop? Many traders ask me this question repeatedly. This often sounds a bit like an annoying accessory about which the trader has to worry still, after doing the important work of market analysis and after the trader has already bought the position. The question touches on the most important issue, which a trader may and must ask himself: How much risk am I willing to take in order to buy me the next chance?
Unfortunately, behind this question mostly, a childish desire is hidden whether I might reveal to the budding trader a kind of hideout, where he can put in this annoying thing, called Stop
, so Mr. Market can never find it. Curiously, Mr. Market has a good nose for such hiding places, especially if the stop is located just below or above striking marks such as support and resistance. How this happens, was the subject of the second book in this series on swing trading.
Stops are a controversial topic in trading circles. No wonder, because stops belong to the exit strategy of a trading system. In other words, a stop is the central risk management tool and therefore directly has to do with making money in the stock market. It is therefore imperative that you understand which function the stop has in your trading system or in your strategy.
It must be clear to you from the outset that the use of stops always results in a lower hit rate. If you trade without stops, you will probably reach a very high hit rate. However, you might wait sometimes for a very long time before some positions go into profit. In addition, some positions never will and you would be forced to close these trades with very high losses.
If the trader uses stops, he might avoid such a scenario. In return, he has to accept losing trades quite more often. Those losing trades are the price you are willing to pay in order to control the risk. You cannot do this when you trade without stops. In this case, your risk is unlimited.
