The opinions expressed in these forums do not represent those of C2, and any discussion of profit/loss is not indicative of future performance or success. There is a substantial risk of loss in trading. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. You should read, understand, and consider the Risk Disclosure Statement that is provided by your broker before you consider trading. Most people who trade lose money.
Traditional traders who have learned only one way of trading when asked why do they you use a stop loss their answer is always, to control risk. That does not make sense because either they are guessing that their trade may be successful or they are way overleveraged. There is no confidence about the trade they have put on & they cajole themselves by putting a stop loss. Any body with a better explanation
