Protects stop loss from excess loss. If the trader wants to make less loss then a swing point stop loss should be given.

Using trailing stop is a good trading plan when the strong trending market, usually I like to manual stop loss and modify when needed, looking at the level price that formed support and resistance zone to placed stop loss.

i read that a lot of pro traders with big firms dont use stop losses. some reasons are if they think direction is right; give the trade time;second they will use hedging trade until direction goes their way again.then close hedging trade.only after a certain time will they close a trade if their reasons are good.why should you close a trade if you think direction is right.? how many times do people do this and see their their trade reverse after stop loss.also the percentage profit per year is usuall 20% to %100 usually.this is not hard if you have big trading reserves .stop loss does not equal direction is wrong; weekly and monthly chart will confirm the direction. most times.price most times retraces before going in a direction across all markets.

Really don't about big firms are suing that but as a retail forex trader, it is always better to exit the position with small loss other wise have to go home with the big sack of loss. Moreover if trade returns to the better position you can enter there as well. its all about timing and managing the risk.

Stop loss bounds your losses and protects you from going to further losses. That is why for beginners it is always said to trade with stop loss.

risk management should be a priority all time .

Retail trader they only follow the market to making a profit, trading against the market is a disaster, but in fact not always trader having precisely prediction all the time, when getting in wrong direction stop loss or cut loss is one way to manage the risk, as trader retail only trying to manage the risk but they cant control the risk, its why important stop loss for them

Placing a stop loss is not mandatory but an extremely important risk management tool that will eliminate or limit or losses to an extent.

If you are a short term trader, and don't use stop loss. You may end up losing all the money if market goes against you. In short, sometimes market retrench a lot.

Yes, you are right. Emotions work when I don't use a stop loss. Can't manage risk ratio. This can ruin my deposit.

You should use a mental stop loss in my opinion. If you are a scalper like myself showing your stop loss to the broker is a mistake. They will take positions against it...
