SL standing based on the support/resistance levels is a nice option. The distance depends on the market volatility. Btw, my opinion: SL is using only for your patience. SL is a psyhological tool but is not a part of trading strategy.

But what if you use a lot size of say 0.1 Lot and the stop loss is like 50 pips? Do you take that or wait for another trade? I worry about risk reward and drawdown with big stop loss
I think, if your risk reward ratio is 2% then you can open 2-3 trades in a time so smoothly.
keeping patience.......

Mate if you trading capital is too narrow like below 100$ than 50 pips SL would be costly, in this case traders can use cent type trading account.

Yes, this type of trading account is very useful for the newbie! On the other hand, 50 pips SL is for only long term trading like swing trading, it’s not for short term trading at all.

Stop loss is very much important tool; but I don’t have any fixed number with this tool. In my live trading, I always set my SL based on the distance between support & resistant levels.
You are with a perfect plan; having a fixed SL target is meaningless since, we traders need to set the SL according to the market context; not anything else.

You should look for risk reward and always make sure its atleast 1:2
Exactly; it’s good consideration; in addition, traders shouldn't expect here any unrealistic profit.
Basically; greed traders expect unrealistic profit here! On the other hand, successful traders set their trading targets according to their real time experience.

In addition; end of the day greedy traders lose their everything; since they have no plan here without money making.

Don not use leverage, that way stop loss become much less important.... So you can start focus on your actual trading strategy instead of worrying about losses.
So you are make dealing with 0 leverage? Or using the small amount?

A stop loss is very important for fund security. A stop-loss order is developed to reduce a trader's loss on a position in a security. A stop-loss order eliminates emotions that can impact trading decisions.
No doubt on the value of SL; but we traders need to set the SL according to the market’s situations instead of our own choice! That’s the Moto of SL.
