Protection stops being chased and hit?

i know it doesnt realy anser your question but
dax is master of fishing stops below bottems/sup and above tops/res
before it will decide which direction it want to go -
sometimes many times
get used to that;
i never trade trade it without a sl.
it can rocket 40p in a heartbeat on news events like last friday. that would be a 1000 eur loss with only 1 contract
think about it
sometimes while trading dax it makes more sence to
use a timed stoploss and give your trade a chance as long
as your setup is still valid or there is no reason not to have trust anymore in your current position
 
Quote from shortbleu:



Please not the aim of this post in not do discuss at which level the stop should be placed or about position sizing. I am interested in manual stops or automatic stops pros and cons.

Pros:
manual stop: you wll not be stopped out.
automatic stop: you will be stopped out.

Cons:
manual stop: you will not be stopped out.
Automatic stop: you will be stopped out.
