Frequently asked questions
How tight should my stop be?
1–3% is typical for intraday equity. 5–10% for swing trades. Tighter stops = more frequent stop-outs but smaller losses per trade.
Mental stop vs actual stop order?
Put the order in. Mental stops fail under stress and slippage. Exception: very low-liquidity names where the stop order itself can cause slippage.
Trailing stop?
Stop that moves with the price in your favour. Locks in profits while allowing room to run. Most brokers support trailing stops at fixed % or ₹.
Why does my stop get hit then reverse?
Known as "stop hunting" — algos target predictable stop levels. Place stops 1–2% beyond obvious technical levels to avoid the cluster.
