I calculate stop losses visually as per beginning of this thread, dependant on pairs I’ve learned how much to leverage and lot size. You can get an estimate for how much pairs like to move visually like on EURUSD where the markets can fluctuate like a yo-yo. I came to my estimates through trial and error when first starting :)

That’s great; by the way, what’s your trading style? Short-term or long term?

I usually set my SL according the support and resistance and TP according the risk reward ratio. However, I never take more than 2% risk in a single trade.

Stop loss is a good way to limit losses. I also make use of it, but how often, that depends on my strategies and market conditions.

Stop loss should be based on your strategy. You also need to consider support and resistance level to put stop loss. Sometimes a little bit bad calculation can get you hit your stop loss. You need to be smart.

Agree. Stop loss is a good strategy that should be implemented in your trading. Never avoid it.

You are right. Support and resistance level is important to identify proper stop loss.

It’s a great way of ensuring that you don’t lose what you can’t afford to. Never forget to use Stop/loss when trading.

Stop loss is good to limit losses, but at the end it depends on your strategy too, whether you should use SL or not.
