Good day I would appreciate some help regarding the implementing of a stop-loss. What factors sould I take in to account when deciding on a % for the stop-loss and what is a safe % to use?

Alsi(507) or shares (325 ema)? Also per each account, if liquid then more, if leveraged to ze hilt then less, pain may be spread between many accounts. One spec of dust between 500 eyes = not to bad, but ze inverse is to terrible to contemplate. Ah dont do cfd und warrants , it scares me. "Become like water my friend"

In my experience, place alerts at 10%, watch the share carefully thereafter and jump ship as it drops or at max 18%. If you don't have access to the markets at your fingertips, place stop loss at 17% and survive to fight another day!
