It's not an easy game

If you intend to protect yourself a short stop, it means that your target should also be short. It is an illusion to think that there can be a disparity between target and stop, so that your business always looks like a good risk/return.

The fact is that the market will someday fluctuate until it reaches its stop and target. If your stop is proportionally short in relation to your target, statistically you will have many stops reached without having targets reached.

The alternative to this would be to follow closely and set a reasonable stop gain, which is still the setting of a target. Don't be fooled by a good risk/return that will only generate stop losses.
