- Any stop loss order will consider a variety of situations, the volatility of market, the volatility of the product you are trading, trading account size, the margin you owned, long-term market direction and your trading style.
- Use tight stop losses when you are trading with large account size. Use moderately relaxed stop loss when your account is so small.
- If you are a day trader, it is better to set tight stop losses, if you are an investor think of expanded stop loss orders.
- Use relaxed stop losses when you are certain about the bullish trend of the market and the product trading. Else tight ones.
