DislikedI use stop loss, but I also use large position size or 2% of my risk capitol per trade to take advantage of small moves therefore all of my losses are incured with a stop loss. I am profitable based on MY money management and trading methods. To use large position size like I do without a stop is account suicide. Now a position or swing trader with small position size looking for the 500+ pip move can handle more pips draw down than I can.
My stops are usually 15 - 30 pips, they may be able to take a 1000 pip whack if their position size...Ignored
