When you say "stop moves up".. are you saying i have to cut lines of x% ret?
10 lines = 3 lines at risk (normalized) when 3/10?

Stocks earnings can gap price very far but the risk is to "lose 20 pips every 5".. do you ever thought about it?
I do not trade stocks, but Alias might comment on that.
So the question is whether or not I worry about price gapping past my stop loss?
I think that a previous post has confused you...
...your risk, "your money", is going to be around -1% if/when price reaches your stop loss.
the total amount that you are going to lose per line as price crosses your stop is based on
your position size:
01: .1%/line
02: .2%
03: .3%
04: .4%
05: .5%
06: .6%
08: .8%
10: 1.0%
13: 1.3%
17: 1.7%
22: 2.2%/line
How scary this is depends on how fast you are adding size and what that total size is...:
3/9: -2/3 space, stop moves up to the 33% ret, .9% per line.
3/6: -1/2 space, stop moves up to the 50% ret, .6% per line.
3/4: -1/4 space, stop moves up to the 75% ret, .4% per line.
3/3: same space, stop stays at the 100% ret, .3% per line.
...It also depends on whether you sold a pattern or a breakout & whether or not you are
trading a large period or a small one:
if we are talking M5-H1 lines then each line is about 4 pips & price gapping 60 pips past your stop will result in
a loss of 15 lines.
H4: -7.5 lines
D1: -3.75
W1: -1.875
MN: 0.937
If you are really worried then you should either withdraw profits or trade based on a fixed amount.
