I feel that when you use a stop loss it is a necessity that we have to use, but sometimes when you place the wrong stop loss, whether it is too close or too long, it will also make you lose and lose money over time.

I'm sure that when you use a stop loss it will make you more comfortable opening positions and when you use a stop loss, what do you do you will definitely be able to make a profit and maintain a small risk

Our technique is correct if we always use stop loss, but if we open entry at the wrong time, for example too early or even too late, we may still experience failure or loss. And opening entry at the right timing is very difficult, because We use stop loss to protect capital.

There is no story that a stop loss will kill you. In fact, if you don't use a stop loss, you will be killed by market conditions whose movements are very significant, therefore it is highly recommended for everyone who opens positions to use a stop loss.

in theory it has taught and educated us how to become ideal and profitable traders by always placing a stop loss but the problem is how to balance theory and practice where every time we carry out trading activities we always forget to place a stop loss or maybe we don't put a stop on purpose. loss.

I make sure that when you always use stop loss, your position will always be safe, it will always be in the right area, your management will be orderly because using stop loss is very effective so you can trade with safe results.

As a result of regular stop losses, many of my accounts have been saved, but when I don't use stop losses, many of my accounts have margin calls because my weakness is that I sometimes hesitate to make stop losses, especially when I have plotted a lot of losses.

You must know that the use of stop loss is very important for us to use when we open a position. There is no possibility that the stop loss will harm you because the use of stop loss is indeed our security.

However, when you trade, you are obliged to use Stoploss in any way because if you don't use Stoploss, you will definitely have difficulty trading and this will make it difficult for you to grow your money because you will continue to experience floating minus.

Practicing more and doing analysis will make us understand where a good stop loss is, but when we place a stop loss without a particular reason then of course this is something that must be avoided because having an uncertain stop loss will cause the stop loss to be touched frequently.

What I know here is that using a stop loss is very important and always needed. When opening a position without using a stop loss, we might have difficulty managing risk, especially when we get a floating minus.

You are obliged to use a stop loss because after all, using a stop loss will make you more comfortable when trading and your open position will always be well maintained.

Stop loss is of course very important because because here I see that trading is a long-term investment business, so it is safest to use a Low Risk trading system by always placing a stop loss, but of course before placing a stop loss, first calculate the risks that could occur.
