Does stop losses cause long term losses? I know that its safe to use it in some cases like long term trading and to protect your account in short term trading, while many scalper do not use it cause they do not have enough time when they spot a trend. If you set it too tight and do not allow room for bouncing then you could be taking out a trade and most likely lose instead of allowing bouncing to come p and allow you to take profit. Is this also your experience?
