What has changed? Thought you never fancy the idea of using stop loss? It's left for people to apply risk management as you already said.
I don't like stop loss, but I like discipline, ability to overcome emotions that comes from trading, financial management, risk management, the use of low leverage, calculating what your PnL will be before opening any positions and also knowing your trading asset liquidation price before opening any positions.
Just like in gambling, most traders are losing. This is not what they will it accept as they are posting on this thread, but we other traders know that. Just read out trading psychology and understand more about the real aspect of trading.
They use high leverage, thinking of using stop loss is real. They used stop loss lose the first time after stop loss hit, lose the second time and emotions begin and they become more greedy and did not use stop loss, using higher leverage which finally liquidated all their trading funds. Most of them will not accept this, but it is the reality.
