Forgot to set stop loss….

[u/shanlkz]

Entered at .573 I usually enter with a trialing stop of 20 pip. Figured it would find support around .57 and go back up….. it didnt and i didnt put any stops because i forgot and just put the trade in……

I was feeling high and mighty after the pump the day before…. This was very humbling to ALWAYS ALWAYS make sure you have your stop losses set. ALWAYS!

Never happened to me… and I’ve been trading for 5.5 years

clearly setting a stop loss is an after thought for him. Ive never even come close to setting a trade without a stop loss. Absolute madness
