Let's all be honest guys. Stop losses are something a lot of us like to preach but don't even practice mastering.
What's more interesting is the other half of us don't use stop losses because we think they are a scam and are used by brokers to hunt positions.
I have also traded many times without a stop loss.
The EUR/CHF crash of 2015 got me
Things were going well for years trading without a stop loss until I got wiped out during the EUR/CHF crash and lost $22,000 and an email from Alpari my broker to pay the -$11,500 which I accrued during the crash.
The next day Alpari entered insolvency.
Till this day I still haven't paid it
