How well does stop loss work if a disaster strike?

It's pretty safe leverage , but even that would have been devastating . Losing 30% in 30min, what if you sold after you lost 30% which is 60% loss in your account ,still pretty bad. But i can imagine it must be really difficult trading currencies 1:2 leverage.

That move was just devastating. And it happened in matter of minutes. Could you share how did your trading change in regards to leverage after that SNB decision.thanks

Are the brokers looking at your leverage and the size of your account, or only the size of your account in regards to the priority of your order being filled.One trader has 1:100 leverage and $2000 in the account with $100,000 in one single tradeSecond trader 1:2 leverage and $200,000 in the account with $100,000 in one single tradeWhich trader will have the order filled first?thanks

Is there any statistics about this? How many accounts were drastically reduced or closed due to unexpected events? News or a disaster? I cant imagine 300pips hit using even low 1:10 leverage . How much extra does it cost to have guaranteed stop loss about? And how big does your account has to be to have a reasonable chance of your order being filled without a stop stop guarantee, using 1:3 o1:5 leverage.Thanks

Hi, I was wondering how effective is a stop loss if you are trading a liquid currency or commodity under normal conditions without any major news , compered to a day where you have a major news or a disaster like Japaneses tsunami while trading yen currency pair. How effective were stop losses for traders who were trading yen while the news starting to come in .Could you share your experiences in regards to effectiveness of stop losses when everybody is trying to exit the same trade as you?Thanks,

That article from dailyfx regarding winning and losing trades is really interesting. Also the article at dailyfx that discusses leverage. The lower the leverage and the larger the account balance the higher chance of turning a profit one has ,over the long period of time ,if they could cut the losses quick . I can understand little better now why it is so easy for new and experienced traders to lose money so quickly . The psychological aspect discussed at that article is really interesting , but quite difficult to adhere too,even if you know about it, especially after you lost 50% of your ac...

Hi, I've never traded forex but i'm really puzzled as to where does the money come from. I read somewhere that 25% of all trades are done for currency hedging . So 75% is trading for profit and speculation. We could basically divide traders into institutional and retail traders. I think that institutional traders are not really into losing money and let say that they are playing it safe and can make consistent 20% interest a year on their investment. It looks like retail investors are using some kind automatic, back testing software, that helps them make consistent profit .The...
