I'm considering setting a stop loss for my trade and I'm wondering if 20 pips is a good amount. I want to know if this is a common or recommended stop loss level, or if there are factors I should consider when deciding.

On the other hand, setting a take profit is equally important to lock in gains.

Ideally, the take profit should be set at 30-40 pips, providing a reasonable profit margin while also giving the trade room to breathe.
