I don’t think it should – as traders we know when our stop loss is too tight and when it’s not, we should be able to control how tight it is and not have a minimum set my t212. I find it really annoying that my stop loss has to be far in forex. What I do with stop loss above/below a resistance/suppo…

its a technical restriction due to how the ticker will bounce around and cause triggers when it shouldn’t. and honestly, not all traders are as competent as yourself and the minimum is there to protect them, not you.

Yeah I can see why that would be problematic — trading most things is fine but when it comes to day trading forex I might need some other provider with tighter stop losses considering the fact that putting it too far will only make me lose more than I would normally.

I’m a total noob and have been using the demo for a couple of months, I find that if I’m looking to make a gain of @£300 my corresponding stop loss will be set to a min distance of 8 meaning a potentail loss of at least £400 or more.

If the “protection” of people putting in tight SL as a mistake is an issue just put an option to disable it… Watching every trade for its entirety because the stop loss would be way beyond what I wanna stop…

Totally agree - should be able to set a stop loss based upon the low of the previous candle when making an entry and the minimum stop loss prevents you from doing this - by all means have a default to help guide new users, but the user should be able to set this to whichever level they like? Any ra…

Point taken, we’ll consider a disable option or just outright removing minimal distance requirements.

Thank you for considering this. Will be a life saver if it sees the light of the day for many forex traders I would imagine

Wow, thanks! This will make my life so much easier
