Group 1: Stop-Loss Point Setting - Fixed Amount Stop-Loss: Investors can set a predetermined loss amount, and if losses reach this amount, they will close their positions regardless of market conditions. For example, with an opening price of 5000 points and a maximum loss of 1000 yuan, the stop-loss point would be set at 4966.67 points [3]. - Percentage Stop-Loss: This method involves setting a stop-loss point based on a percentage of the total account funds. For instance, if set at 2%, the stop-loss point would be at 4900 points when the opening price is 5000 points [3]. - Technical Indicator Stop-Loss: Utilizing technical analysis indicators such as support lines, resistance lines, or moving averages to set stop-loss points. For example, a stop-loss could be triggered if the price falls below a significant moving average [3]. - Support Level Stop-Loss: Setting the stop-loss point below a critical support level. If a support level is identified at 4900 points, the stop-loss could be set at 4880 points [4]. - Volatility Stop-Loss: This method sets the stop-loss based on historical market volatility, such as using 1 to 1.5 times the recent average volatility [4]. - Time Stop-Loss: Establishing a time limit for holding positions, where positions are closed regardless of profit or loss after a predetermined time [4]. Group 2: Take-Profit Point Setting - Fixed Amount Take-Profit: Investors can set a specific profit target. For example, with an opening price of 5000 points and a target profit of 1500 yuan, the take-profit point would be at 5050 points [6]. - Percentage Take-Profit: Setting a take-profit point based on a fixed percentage of profit. For instance, with a target of 8%, the take-profit point would be at 5400 points when the opening price is 5000 points [7]. - Technical Indicator Take-Profit: Using technical analysis indicators to determine take-profit points. For example, considering taking profit when the Relative Strength Index (RSI) enters the overbought zone [8]. - Resistance Level Take-Profit: Setting the take-profit point above a significant resistance level. If a resistance level is identified at 5200 points, the take-profit could be set at 5220 points [9]. - Trailing Stop-Loss to Take-Profit: Adjusting the original stop-loss point upwards as prices rise to lock in profits, executing a close when prices revert to the new stop-loss point [10].
