Yes my friend,you hit the nail head.

and I also agree with you that tight/small SL is bad and really bad.
Last time when I first trading many months ago, whenever i use stoploss, the market seems like to keep hitting my Stoploss then turn around leave you with losses without profit where you suppose to be profit if ur stop loss didnt get hit.
Those with small/tight stoploss, you better be careful on the market whipsaws. If you got small capitals, you can trade micro lots, it is the same.
And of cause, a tip here to set your stoploss @ strange numbers if you really want to use stop loss (for example in EU 1.4943, 1.4376, 1.4578.) Try to avoid round numbers or numbers 5, quarter of 100 points ( for ex in EU 1.48[b]00, 1.457
0, 1.466
5, 1.47
75, 1.46
25) Check your Fx chart of top/bottoms on each pairs, u often see the market didnt hit those round or numbers 5 and turn around.
for EU, if you watch carefully, they often hit 1.xx04, 1.xx09, 1.xx11, 1.xx19.....22, 28, 33, 67, 74, 88, 98 there are hardly any round or fix numbers. This is just my observations.
