I'm not sure what does this patient trading actually looks like. Can you share some vids or something OP? Since you said you saw someone posted their "patient trading" experience, I assume we can find it publicly just fine. Makes no sense to me why would someone assume not using stop loss means you're not being patient though. Managing risk properly doesn't mean you're impatience. While some "traders" talk from nothing, popular saying exist for a reason.

Read this before you choose either yes or no.

I saw someone posted this and I think I find a good patient trader that may not be using stop loss, unlike many people that are not trading, but posting that people should use stop loss regardless of the trading plan that the person is having, or people that may be part of the 85% of traders that are losing, using high leverage and advising people to use stop loss. I always say not all trading strategies require stop loss. Patient trading strategies which is the best does not require stop loss, but the profit can be slow but probably gradual.

Here is it
If you have $1000 on your derivatives trading account on an exchange, you use $200 (max) which is 0.2x leverage to trade daily. Trading just bitcoin or less volatile asset like oil, natural gas or gold. Would you still be using stop loss?


90% of people lose their funds in crypto, the remaining 10% are the ones who improve. Setting up the right stop loss works as the most important structure. Setting up a stop loss solves the main problem. Setting up a stop loss, long-term analysis and patience may pave the way for you to move forward as a trader.

This don't need stop loss, the market won't magically do 5x and liquidate you if you are shorting and you won't get liquidated even if BTC price turns to zero if you are longing.
It's true that there are scenario where stop loss is unneeded, stop loss best used when we are trading on curve and by that is trading on 1m - 5m time frame with high leverage.

Yes, when trading with low leverage, it will be risk-free, the possibility of liquidation is very low. When someone uses low leverage in the market from this position, the price will not decrease or increase very quickly, which will reduce the possibility of liquidation. But whenever high leverage is used, it will definitely be risky that at any moment the price will increase slightly and will be liquidated if it decreases again. When high leverage is used, it is definitely necessary to use stop loss, and when trading with low leverage, there is no need for stop loss. That is, in trading, when the leverage increases, the riskier it is, and the lower it is, the less risky it will be.
