Stop loss saves me from losing more money, and this one works for me but of course you have your own strategy and Stop loss might not be option for you.

If you don't know what to do when the market dumps, better not to panic and asses your strategies or look for other way that fits your trading style, some don't have a stop loss at all but they remain profitable because they are buying at the bottom price and sell at the peak price.
I think everyone should use stop loss because it could be very important at some point, most times we trade without stop loss and feels it isn't that important because we know how to read charts and also have a large equity, but in crypto anything can happen! Talking from experience, I learnt the usefulness of stop loss when there was a great massive market crash and I wasn't there to close my trade cut my losses, so bad my account got liquidated, had it been i used stop loss my account would have been saved by now

I remembered when I was trading and had set a stoploss area but when my analysis was wrong then I deleted the stoploss and finally I experienced a panic sell because the price continued to decline until I finally sold it with a bigger loss, until now I still remember that mistake. therefore stoploss placement must be adhered to because every trade there is of course a loss and a win

Stop loss is most important when you don’t want to loss much. But, I don’t use stop loss for some reason. Sometimes I missed big profit for using stop loss. Coins touch my stop loss target then pump again. Undecided Stop loss is helpful, When a trader can use it properly.
sometimes stop loss not totally working in our trades, market often to sweep stop loss that setted by traders. And for your case , holding assets when we confidence with the fundamental behind the project for long term was better withot stop loss. spot market and for long term investment didnt need stop loss , or our balance will decrease alot when this SL hit.

Got in a discussion with a friend that recently started learning Technical Analysis and then he said he trades without using stop Loss. I told him no good trader trades without stop Loss. I tried to explain to him about the volatility and how trades can go against you especially as a new newbie and you can lose heavily. He seems adamant and I decided to leave him maybe he will learn from his own mistake if it happens. It seems there are also many traders that trade without stop Loss and I wonder how they do it conveniently.

Please share your views on how important stop Loss is and how convenient it can be to trade without stop Loss.
It's hard to advise someone who is ambitious about something. I also once had the same friend like that. But the most important thing is that our duty as a friend has been fulfilled. But I'm sure he'll figure it out on his own. Learn from his own experience. if he wants to study.
At the end of the day your duty as a friend is to call out any big mistake that your friends are making, if they don't want to change their behavior then that is on them, at least you tried to help them and now it is up to them to face the consequences of their choices, it is obvious that trading and not using a stop loss is a huge mistake, unfortunately the majority of people do not learn this is the case until it is too late and they have lost a lot money, and it is impossible for them to recover that money since now they will have to take huge risks in order to do so creating more losses in the process.

For me it's very important, I consider it as a life saving device like life vest, fire extinguisher, sprinklers, medical kit. Though there will be some damage it will help it to stop or prevent it from more damage and it can actually save all your money if you are a leverage trader or futures trader so I think this feature is really important and most people doesn't know how to use it.

Always i heard about Stop Loss and many traders said that Crypto trading is not secure without stop loss, becouse we are human not a robot, so we can't spend time 24 hrs on trading, and for this reason and for our fund stop loss is always important.

Stop loss is an important means to protect investors from making mistakes in decision-making and reducing losses. Foresee greater risk of loss in investment transactions, prevent losses in time and protect funds from losses.
When the market fluctuates, the stop loss can be turned to seize the opportunity.
When there may be a high amount of loss in the future, timely stop loss can reduce risk loss.

Stop Loss is used in risky trades to avert excessive and unmanageable losses. If someone don't use stop loss will face huge losing quickly. It is used to overcome the loss.
This is not really accurate a stop loss is used or at least it must be used in every single trade that you make regardless of how risky you think it could be, and the reason for this is that you do not really have a way to know if the trade that you're making is risky or not, we must remember that the price of any coin in this market can change at an incredible pace and if you are not using a stop loss in order to protect your capital when that happens you are going to lose a great deal of money, and if at the same time you are using leverage then you could even lose all of your money.

Many traders uses stop loss not only because of their losses but eventually to prevent anyone from a big loss. It is very important especially if you don't want to loss much and want to gain profit always. Stop loss is used in risky trades to avoid excessive losses. Stop loss is very important and helpful when traders  can manage it because if traders uses stop loss, they will get low loss compared to those traders who are not using it and can't manage it properly.

Not only in risky trades.

But in every trade that you do, you must apply it to minimize the risk that you're taking.

Yeah, the bigger and quicker loss is waiting for those that won't apply stop loss with their trades.

Talking from experience I can tell you using stop loss is as good as saving your funds, no matter the knowledge of technical analysis trading without stop loss can get you fucked up, technical analysis tells us action that has been taken already, there could be a sharp news which might push prices down after you have analysed and set up your trade and if this happens in your absence surely you gonna get liquidated.
For investors a stop loss is not critical as whatever asset they bought they did for the long term, also since they can accept bigger losses then it is unlikely a flash crash will surprise them and will not allow them to sell their coins within the range they were willing to accept to lose on that particular investment, but trading is a completely different game, trading moves incredibly fast especially if you use leverage and not having a stop loss is basically the difference between losing traders and profitable traders, so it is a huge mistake to not use a stop loss if someone is thinking of trading the markets.

If you want to safe you money ,should use Stoploss. You can buy back if token price down feom your stoploss but if its down 100% or 200% its very hard to get back you portfolio. May be some time token down to stoploss and then upswing start, but we should safe our money and can get another opportunity to earn .
Is there any time that you've incurred 200% of loss?

I guess that's never going to happen to me. A 100% loss is already going to put you into zero in value for the cryptos that you own. And to say that you'll get 200% down.

You're totally negative and you might even have a loan with that percentage of loss.

If you don't know how things works with the kind of trading you are using it's true that danger or risk is just along the corner.

Stop and loss is very effective if you fully understand the market, the volatility might give you decent benefits if you play well but it's always a case to case market movements, same from what you have said, whales is very unpredictable as they can make the market move within a split of a seconds.
Honestly if you do not know that is another story, but if you do know and still do not use then it is a whole another story as well. There are people who do not use stop loss even though they know what it means, just because they believe that they could DCA their way out of it. I am "sort of" in the middle, I do not use stop loss because I am a long term investor and I do not care about the price of today, and I do keep on buying so it is sort of like the one who do not use it, but there are traders that do not use it as well and try to make it profitable in a bit longer and yet still a trader way.

This is why I honestly believe that we should not be focusing on knowing or not knowing, we should be focusing on the benefits of using and the damages of not using, that way we could actually calculate the risk and take our precautions accordingly.

The returnable token is also just a rough guesswork model, sometimes charging for this model takes a long time and our money will postpone the contract with new promise tokens, wasting one plan then many is proportional to the time the model has not been charged again. The most dangerous is the leverage pattern, it's a timed bomb, manipulation from exchanges and whales can speed up the detonation time, manual stop loss will become too late

There are dealers that would prefer not to be told by others and that is the reason they don't pay attention to the advices of different brokers. It's vital and common to see brokers utilizing stop misfortune yet on the off chance that they don't do that, they'll most likely get familiar with the exercise in a hard manner. I concur that distinctive exchanging systems make the individual less worried about stop misfortune, as a significant degree of certainty will return the value making things substantially more powerful.
