Rules to follow wisely in trades:
1. Use the same stop-loss in every trade. (For example, if your capital is $1000, your SL should not exceed $10–20 in each trade).
2. For regular trading, your SL should be 1% ($10 on a $1000 account) of the total portfolio.
3. For risky trading, your SL should be 0.5% ($5 on a $1000 account) of the total portfolio.
