Topic: What is stop loss and how it works - page 3. (Read 911 times)
Stop loss gives benefits to most of the trader even i'm using it and most of the time it prevents me from further loss or even more loss. The top traders are also using stop loss to save themselves from a bigger loss. So, i prefer to every trader that they should use stop loss although we didn't know about the coins.
Stop loss is an strategy to minimize the losses that you possibly get in trading, it is something like setting a limit on every trade or holdings, if you don't set a limit you will possibly loss a big amount when the price of the coin that you invested drop so hard, that is why stop loss is very important.
Indeed. Stop loss will help you minimize losses or limiting losses within a certain value. It should be mandatory to all of the beginners because they have no experience and practice. Stop loss is such a life saver and is very important in trading. Maybe some of us have a different strategies in trading but Stop loss will help you to limit losses and earn higher as what you expected.
Stop loss is an order or order to close a position that is useful for limiting losses within a certain value. Or it can also be said that Stop Loss is the lowest price limit value that is determined to limit losses. When the price movement touches this value, the system will automatically close the order or position. By using this Stop loss, traders are able to limit unwanted losses, if there is a loss that is too deep, the trader can limit the losses that have been determined. Setting a stop loss is much more important than setting a profit target.
As for me, the use of stop words should be mandatory for beginners, because they have no experience and practice.
actually stoploss does not 100% guarantee our assets are safe. but at least it can be a benchmark for the safe limit of our assets so that there will be no bigger losses. I think stop loss should be learned because not everyone or traders are successful if they use stop loss
What the stop loss really does is that it gives a limit to the amount of money we can lose in a single trade and if we pair this up with good money management skills then your losses are going to be limited in scope and size and that is critical if we are to become successful traders, in fact in some studies that I have seen having good money management skills and being able to use a stop order the right way has been directly linked to winning traders as two of the most important aspects that you need to master if you are to become a good trader. 
Seriously I believe if you are into future trading I think stop loose is very important because stop lose always cut your lost it will definitely reduce the money you are going to lose incase if market don't really go as you want and one of the best exchange which I really believe there stop lose is binance exchange. Have been using the exchange for few years now and they have never disappointed me before.

That's because they're yet to understand how to effectively use the stop loss feature. Lets assume there's a general conception of Bitcoin following to a certain price and you're current on that trade. Setting your stop loss at exactly that price would be deadly. There's huge manipulations ongoing by whales in the cryptocurency market and they seem not to not care what happens to others while they win.
The whales can easily manipulate a trade making it fall below the average stop loss which is the last well know support of Bitcoin just to eat up all the stop loss orders at that price. Yours should always be some safe zone form thus manipulation.
Stop loss is a very vital to have a successful traders unless you're an active traders constantly monitoring the market which i won't advice anymore to undergo such stress when you can make the automated system handle this for you plus the health issue that such practice will result to.
I have been in trading for some time now and as I become more experienced in trading; I discover some terms in trading that have captured my interest, as these terms help me gain knowledge to maximize profits and minimize loss.
One among them is the (stop loss feature) some exchanges have developed this feature to help traders set limits on their trading to help put a hold on trading once a certain price is reached, but again most traders still run into losses because they inability to use this tool effectively.
That brings me down to my question, what is the best way to apply the stop loss features that will guarantee zero loss, and which exchange has the best and easy-to-use live trading features.
stop-loss doesn't mean zero loss, it means cutting your loss just up to a pre-calculated mark, for example, if you buy something at $100, you expect it to move to $120 but fear that it might even tumble down to $80, but you are sure that it would get to $80 only if it breaks the support available at $95, now what an intelligent trader would do here is that he will put a stop loss at around $94, it can be set following these steps: One among them is the (stop loss feature) some exchanges have developed this feature to help traders set limits on their trading to help put a hold on trading once a certain price is reached, but again most traders still run into losses because they inability to use this tool effectively.

1. First you have to enter a trigger price, it's obvious if you directly put a limit selling order of $94 the transaction would get executed immediately, so we need to set up a trigger price reaching which the order will go into the order book, we set it to $94.5.
2. Now I'll put my selling price a bit below(Advisable) the stop loss trigger price, it's done to ensure that your order reaches the order book in time because in times of quick sell of even your stop-loss doesn't get hit many times. So either use a market stop or put the limit price half a dollar below the trigger.
You are done, if your coin goes to 95 you'll be sold with a loss of just $5 which could have been $20, and if it goes up you are just making profits no losses.

A stop-loss order—also known as a stop order—is a type of computer-activated, advanced trade tool that most brokers allow. The order specifies that an investor wants to execute a trade for a given stock, but only if a specified price level is reached during trading.
Stop-loss orders differ from a conventional market order. With market orders, the investor specifies that they wish to trade a given number of shares of a stock at the current market-clearing price. Using a market order, the investor cannot specify the execution price. However, the stop-loss allows an investor-specified limit price.

Why you need to have a guarantee to protect your assets to be safe?It's not the job of stop loss. From the words itself, that does the job of stop and that's to prevent you taking more losses than the usual you gain when you trade.

Holding is only option to avoid of loss.Because most people losing daily by fake analysis and expected x2 of the investment. If you get 20$ as a profit from the investment of 230 dollars. You should be very happy with that.Because it's just 10 percentage of profit. You should agree of 5-10 percentage profit.
When traders start a trade, they usually put a stop-loss. Stop-loss are first intended to limit the amount of money that can be lost in a trade. A stop-loss order is a request to a broker to purchase or sell a specific stock at a specific price once it hits that price. A stop-loss order is used to keep an investor's loss on a security position to a minimum. Setting a stop-loss order 10% below the price at which you bought the stock, for example, will restrict your loss to 10%.
Stop Loss is an important tool of trading and it has gained a lot of popularity in modern trading. You can avoid big losses by using stop loss, but in all cases, zero loss is not reasonable. This is because stop loss is usually used in the Side-way market and is used to hold up to a certain loss according to market analysis after purchase. However, if the market is somewhat positive after taking the trade and if you then use stop loss up to your purchase price, then there is a possibility of zero loss. However, in the case of trading, a trader takes the trade very lightly and uses the Stop Loss tool to try to reduce the risk of loss due to the reverse behavior of the trading in general.
Many people when they place the Stop Loss they move it since the operation is on the favorable path, I think it happens in the exchanges that only have to place "Stop Loss" or "Take Profit", although there are exchanges that allow you to have both.
There were many times when I used the Stop Loss on Bitmex and the Stop Loss did not stop the transaction, and I kept losing, and then I realized that I had to put it to start closing long before I hit the price, those are details. not. I knew it, but it happened to me because I had not used the tool with play money, if I had used the tool with play money I learn to know the protocols, in Bitmex if you do not react quickly you can lose almost everything, I think that for these tools you need to practice it previously so you don't risk losing money for mistakes like that.
Stop loss is commonly used for every trader, it is used whenever you want to limit your loss if the price will keep going down. You have to set the price and if the price goes down continuously to the point that it reaches the value you have settled then it will automatically be sold. You can use stop-loss if you are going to sleep so if ever the price crash you can still save your investment.

Stop-loss is an amazing risk management feature that helps to reduce the amount of losses a trader would suffer if he uses it. Stop-loss is very important because it helps a trader get out of a trade that goes in the opposite direction of the trader's prediction, that would otherwise have resulted in liquidation of assets.
However, many traders don't use because they strongly belive in their ability to make accurate predictions. The market is very volatile and is not controlled by one person which means that a trader cannot be accurate with his predictions all of the time. And this reiterate the importance of using Stop-loss as a trader.

That is definitely a problem, you have expectations that are out of line with the reality, stop losses as the name implies is a tool that help you to limit your losses, but it is never going to help you to eliminate your losses completely, it does not mater how good a trader you believe you are, you are going to lose money in the markets, the difference is that the good traders limit their losses so they can keep trading and make good trades while newbies despite knowing this ignore it and then lose so much money that regardless of their level of skill it will be impossible to recover from such losses.
