I'm adding the first share about S/L placement. I hope you guys share yours too....

1. I use static S/L (SS/L) during possible reversals and ranging markets based on supply/demand zones and SR lines. Success rate is less than 50% with this method in my experience. However, R;R makes the positive return as minimum 1:3 R:R achieved when it works.

2. I use dynamic S/L (DS/L) during trending markets, based on EMA's and trend lines. Success rate is around just over 50% with this method in my experience. R:R varies from 1:1 to 1:2. I only take buy setups during up trends and sell setups during downtrends. I take setups if there is a minimum 1:1 R:R only according my own analysis.

I have tried to illustrate my S/L placement methods on the current M30 spot Gold chart below.
