The results are simple and make sense: if the market has no trend, a stop loss removes value and is harmful to your investment strategy. On the other hand, on trending markets, a stop loss will make your strategy outperform.
Therefore, finding out whether the market is trending or not is as important as setting up a stop loss. As the market spends more time ranging than trending, blindly using a stop loss will only make you harm. That's mathematically proven.
