I am a trader since 2012 and since I have been trading without stop-losses to this day. Most beginners and amateurs of markets say it is all nonsense and only some professionals say that this strategy has a place to live.
I would like to hear the opinion of other people who know about the markets, trading, analytics, etc.
I would like to ask newbies and those who think they know everything not to write nonsense, rubbish and rubbish.
So you can't write anything, for those who think they are suckers?
Tell me, if you do not use a stop-loss, how do you exit a deal? Do you use a margin call or wait too long?
I also liked the anecdote in your profile.
A new teacher, coming to class, found one boy being teased and called a fool. At recess, he asked the boys why they were calling him that.
- He really is a fool, teacher. If you give him a big
a big five-rouble coin and a small ten-rouble coin, he'll pick the five because he thinks it's bigger. Here, look...
The boy takes out two coins and offers the boy a choice. He, as usual, chooses five. The teacher asks in amazement:
- Why did you choose a five-rouble coin and not ten?
- Look, it's bigger, Mr. Teacher!
After class, the teacher approached the boy.
- Don't you realise that five roubles is bigger only in size,
but with ten rubles you can buy more?
- Of course I do, Mr. Teacher.
- So why do you choose five?
- Because if I choose ten, they will stop giving me money!
Forex _I gave up stopping more than a year ago. I have been sitting for a long time, the drawdown is floating in the range of --55-40% (for the last half year).
And so (in the long term) I'm working my way up to six figures. Namely, if you calculate (applying the power of compound %) get:
Start 5000 dollars. 60% YoY compounded.
after 3g 29t / 5l 93t / 10l 1,745t...and let it be 50% drawdown at that time / net profit872t.

You either go straight to the profit, or you wait too long.
This is not an anecdote, but a reality.
I rarely use stop-losses, and I mostly scalp, but in scalping I don't see the point of stop-losses at all.
For example, if you go fishing, hunting, picking berries in the forests of Yakutia, you'd better put a stop-loss.
