Successful Forex trading doesn’t consist of how much money you are making, or if you can beat your last record. It doesn’t consist on how much you trade on the volume that you trade or your account balance. Forex trading is all about making the right trades, following a simple trading plan, sticking to the rules that you made earlier (in your trading strategy), Forex is all about discipline.
Do not forget, the more money you have in your account balance, the more likely you are to sabotage yourself and to lose everything, especially when you get upset on your not so good trades. It is absolutely normal to by wrong, but be careful that your ego might come in to play and emotions then take control. You will get angry and you will want to get your revenge on the Forex market.

There is no golden rule to where a SL (stop loss) order should be set, it all depends on your trading strategy.
If your trading strategy is based more on day-trading, your could set your stop loss just below or above the daily high or lows. Therefore if the market moves out of the trend that you are trading and moves a lot in the opposite direction, your account is protected because your trade/trades are closed.
