stop loss is good if you want to protect your capital and profits placing sl is not easy in volatile markets there will be high chances that sl will be hit we cant keep it to far also i think its better to place sl for how much risk we can afford and trailing stop loss is very difficult

The use of stop losses have its pro and cons, It is preferable used when one is not sure of his entry but coin is obviously mooning, just set the stop loss below entry value and adjust upwards as price moves. The annoying aspect of it is where one would have placed a stop loss and a very sharp drop would sell it and eventually price doesn't fall but keeps head up

If you’re one of those investors that watch their screen all day,you don’t really need to use a stop loss. Another thing you need to know is that these orders are not free, so you should watch out for the hidden fees. And as for how it works, let’s take for example you’re trading $100, you should set your stop loss at $95 and once it gets to that it will automatically have your position sold. 
I have gone through the entire posts on this thread and I can say the knowledge gotten is gold. Just one question I have in mind, how do I place trailing stop losses and by what margin do I it to stay in the trade please? I've heard difficulty with this.
for margin trading I only use Bitmex
Trailing stop + sign for long and - for short
Ex. present price 6600USD, if you set +10 or 10, you can only do Long position and will trigger at the price of 6610
with -10, a Short position that would trigger 6590
I would suggest to take the testnet before doing an actual trade on this, as there were times that trailing stop wont guarantee an exact price expected

Actually im not an expert when in terms of how to handle a trades loosing especially in this situation now thats crypto market is struggling bearish situation,otherwise loosing for me is a part of being learning especially in situation a doing trading thats sometimes we must take the risk in order to measure the capability of what our experiment,but one things we should remember like warren buffet said that do not test the depth of water in two feet,thats means to me that in the investment we must test sometimes the failure in order to learn,but we must analyze the trading day by day so that in the future we could not commit mistake and could not commit again a loosing in our trading investment.
did you think of the automated trading software? I made very good experience working with such.
Its good for a starters but in my opinion it does the minimal one should do whilst trading. Nonetheless, its good to familiarise yourself with such technology since it will become more popular. They can earn you some money.
a lot of discussion about that might be able to look for it in google or youtube article is very good if you want to reduce losses when the market is down. maybe this can help you find some good videos

Stop loss is good if you have an options to recover your losses.But if not better hodl.But for now i dont use stop loss because i don't do day trading.I feel like more risky to do day trading.To less risk i pick coins that is good for scalping and midterm trades.
I think each case has own stop loss point. It depends on your acceptance and knowledge. But I think you should give the choices quickly and clearly. If not, you will waste your time
Stop loss when implemented is the reason why you will stay long in your trading life without experiencing constant drawdown. Stop loss points should have come out from your trading plan. As a trader you must have a plan for every trading day. Part of this plan is how many points will i set my stop[ loss and my take profits. These you must have determined before you enter the first trade of the day. You must have the will to set the stop loss which is always the problem.
Personally, I place a stop loss at some %age below my purchase price if I am not sure of entry and expect a moon from my entry, this should be the maximum loss I could accept in case market goes against me.
The golden rule for me, if you are confident enough in your style of trading is to set a stop loss for a -1 loss, and aim for a profit of +2.
With this risk management, you need not even 50% successful trades to make money in the long term. The hardest part is to stick to this rule at all times. There are thousands of reasons why even the most experienced traders like to deviate once in a while from their risk management rule. It takes mental fortitude to be a good trader.
That is actually going to be something that is applicable more when you are day trading as that gives you an edge on the level at which you end up accruing based on your strategy and the risk reward ratio.With this risk management, you need not even 50% successful trades to make money in the long term. The hardest part is to stick to this rule at all times. There are thousands of reasons why even the most experienced traders like to deviate once in a while from their risk management rule.

However, for long, short or mid-term traders, I would say the 1:2 Risk:Reward is not something that would work. Certainly I look at more reward than risk to be able to help cut across in all my trades and make valuable profit.
I am not an aggressive trader anyway and i do not take unnecessary risk and this helps me to find a pattern, trade the pattern and stick to my strategy and as long as I see that the reward based on my signal is far more than the risk, then I take it, it does not necessarily have to be 1:2.
