Risk Management: Setting precise stop loss and target targets

Rohan entered a long trade at ₹300 per share. To manage his risk, he decided to set a stop loss at 2% below his entry price and a target profit at 6% above.

His stop loss was set at ₹294, and his target at ₹318. This disciplined approach ensured that if the trade went against him, his loss was capped at a manageable 2%.

Stop loss orders protect trading capital by automatically exiting positions at predefined loss thresholds.

Avoid placing stop losses too close to entry prices, as normal market volatility can trigger premature exits before the trend develops.
