Dear Traders

I have a question about stop losses and position sizing in regard to Ashraf's recent comment that trades were in play before the Aussie jobs report.

He mentioned larger stop losses than normal due to the upcoming volatility.

If so how would one set position size? I can see the advantage of using the volatility to get a kick start but then position size would be lower due to the increased stop loss?

Is this still an advantage if ultimate profits might be lower?

Perhaps this is a case of increasing lotsize later on a correction if the initial momentum is successful?

Your comments please.
