Without stops and manimenezhmenta do not trade principally!
As soon as we entered the transaction (bought or sold the asset), we try to close the first part of the position so that all our total expenses for the transaction are already covered by the profit from the 1st part of the pose. As an option - knowing your expenses (spread, commission, possible price slippage, other costs), we know the minimum number of ticks that need to pass the price. We close the first part when passing the distance no less, the rest of it is transferred to the breakeven.
All! We passed into the right state! At least we will not lose. The rest of the position with a further move in our direction is simply podtralivayem and gradually close the course of price movement. It is possible to close part of the position at the end of the main impulse, leaving just a part of the pose, just in case.
If your broker / exchange does not give you the opportunity to defend yourself - change without hesitation. More money and nerves will be more valuable.
This applies to the Pump / Dump options first.
