The financial market is constantly volatile and no one can accurately predict its trend. In addition, traders cannot spend all day monitoring the amount of trading losses or profits and then manually closing a trade.
In this situation, the most effective solution is to set take profit & stop loss orders for all operations to ensure the safety of your capital.
