If you ever feel that the market will drop it's price, you should better use a stop loss because it is one of the most useful tools in trading to prevent you from having a huge loss, that is why it is a life saver. You can't actually predict when will the market will go up and down, so making a good analysis would help you to have a good trade.

What is worrying is if the stop loss is only triggered by a long tail that appears suddenly and only temporarily.

we cannot only focus on feelings if we are in this condition. I myself chose to set the stop price for the trigger limit, and the limit price with a greater percentage if the trend caused the price to fall very badly, this is also a weakness of the long-term trader because it cannot maximize the use of stop losses.

Hello,

I had this question in mind, since many of my trades with an adjusted stop loss got triggered, but then the market goes in the direction I wanted, but since it got triggered basically im out. I know this is due to big fishes messing around.

money management is the important thing if you want to be a profesional trader, profesional trader wil use investor money to trade and take profit, but sometimes he ready to lost too if he wrong in seeing the direction of the market. everyone need stop loss and take profit, even in real life, when you feel danger don't do it.
so for me this feature very usefull, to maximize our profit and minimize our loss

What do you guys think, is stop loss something or, or not so good?

It's a lifesaver, you use a stop loss to not sink. It's a good trading tool, it should be used for almost every trade, we can't predict where the price is heading next. It's better to get out from a sinking ship before it touches the bottom, and if you think that ship can recover from that you can buy back what you sold. It doesn't work all the time, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I also consider it as a lifesaver since we need to do it as we know how volatile the market is. We need to set up to how much we are able to lose to keep trading in this speculative market. I usually forget to stop loss that I regret the most as I lose a lot instead of gaining.

Bitcoin FTW!

It depends how you use stop losses and what sort of analysis leads you to place stops at a certain place. I usually use market stoplosses while trading on leverage on sites like Bitmex, and they're definitely a lifesaver in those instances when things can move extremely rapidly in one direction and limiting losses is extremely important as a result. They can certainly be bad if you're constantly getting stopped out by bad stoploss placement (placing stops in extremely obvious places like near local highs and lows, etc), but they're generally a very good thing in my eyes. Just depends how you're using it in the end.

Stop loss is one of trading's most useful tools. Personally, I lost a substantial amount of money just because I was in a shoulder-free business. Unfortunately, choosing the right stop size is particularly difficult now because market manipulators simply knock out the stops with some actions. However, even if this factor is taken into account, it is impossible not to use such a useful tool, because without using it you will surely lose more. Stop loss minimises your risk and the likelihood of error.

That's why it's added because it's requested and it's useful to day traders.

Market seems so unpredictable, dump and pump are happening and sometimes a coin could not recover anymore or will take time to recover and that means your money will be stuck which you can have use for trading other more volatile assets in the market.

It is known that the price movement cannot be expected 100%, and therefore if the price reflects on the trader with a big difference, the stop loss will be the only savior.

This is actually a pretty good question and my answer is that a stop loss is BOTH.

In my early days of trading I never used stop losses because I had no idea where to put them or I didn't know that feature existed. Later on I started using stop losses because I learnt in some tutorial. Then I kept getting my stops hit and almost everytime price reversed usually, so I stopped again them again and it made things worse.

Basically it made things worse is because you can't under estimate the market, similar to how bitcoin broke $6000 in November 2018, people assumed $5500 would be the low but it kept going lower and lower and lower to $3100. And basically a small loss turned into a big one.

Hence they are a little of both, sometimes they can save you but many times they just stop you out and reverse right after.

I think Stop Loss is prudent to have it, but not with a rate higher than 8% at most 10%, but if the movement is in your favor, you can move it to increase your profit rate, the gains should always be lengthened and quickly cut the losses.

When a movement turns against and skips the Stop Loss, don't be disappointed, the market always offers opportunities, the key is not to despair.

Definitely, it was a life saver...just try to read this one the advantage of using Stop-loss in any form of trading

You'll find out that it is very useful during the bear season and somewhat a good strategy when your trades become complicated. It basically saves you from losing a lot but of course, you'll have used this carefully for every single mistake will also drag you down.

Most of the time it would really be a lifesaver but applying here on crypto is somewhat not really that needed? Why? because we can eventually wait for
recovery of price and that wont took so long if we do compare the price movement against stocks and forex which means you do still have the chance of recovery and cant be treated nor considered as a total loss due you are still holding that coin but it would be a stressful thing yet patience would be tested out but if we do deal with active trades then this one is a must.

I cannot count the times my ass has been saved because of Stop-loss.
As a professional trader, it is your duty to constantly check your active trades especially when there has been a price movement that he likely triggered your Stop-loss to activate, so Stop-loss is definitely a life saver but this all depends on the trader, if Stop-loss didn't exist, some people would be available 24/7 for their trades but because it exists, many of them just tend to slack off.

where needed more time maybe one year or become two years waiting with altcoin holding price back to higher.

you don't even need to wait that long to actually get your profit back. probably you will forget about your assets after few months. so, i would recommend to just not holding that altcoin for long time if you are not sure when to sell it. would be better to stop loss rather than holding for nothing.

Stoploss is a lifesaver if you use it in the right point, in an uptrend always set stop loss under a swing low like this, The crypto market is so volatile if you do not set stop loss then anytime it can destroy your trading life.

in my opinion it is better to use such a method, because with a stop loss can prevent you from a very large loss if you are only stuck in one coin with a very long time. I'm not saying it's evil, and it's a must to use stop loss when you can't predict the market price in the future. usually traders will experience large losses, when their speculations fail and are too ambitious to seek very large profits without using stop loss. I myself use stop loss to avoid huge losses and seek profit with stop loss.

Honestly quiting and shifting on other coin is not practical. All we know from the start we need lot of patience here in crypto world. So if you quit you already prove that you can't really do about crypto businees. I think this is bad habbit of every investors and traders. We need to learn from our mistake not to quit.

maybe that mean become an evil is stop loss limits the sell price, so when the price of coins going to the moon and should be get more profit if not use stop loss. i think is feeling greedy so its bad and you have to say thanks for stop loss because it can distance yourselft from feeling gredy
so stop lose saver your life, and need to use it in trading

Stop-loss will protect you from loss by targeting all aspects of the market which will change at any time within the trading market. Suppose you were asleep for any reason when the worth movement went beyond your perception, what would you do? you'll have tons of loss beyond your thought so you ought to use a stop-loss.
