Stop-loss is useful tool for almost all currency trading strategies as it can be attached to both long and short trade positions. No matter how closely one might try to monitor the market, it is impossible to accurately predict Forex market movements.

1; It allows you to grow your profits by gradually without everything you earn, e.g. If you make profits if let's say $500 you can risked $50 from it to chase more profits by using stoploss to that effect.
2; It allows you to control and check your drawdown to minimum, personally I hate d rawdowns above 20%, so i avoid it at all cost by planning my trades with stoplosses well placed.

3: It allows you to have a very good money management.

4; With stoplosses well placed, you can always control your emotions of not letting floatings of huge negative openings.
5; You don't have to worry about spikes, as your accounts are protected by it.

6; You can always plan and know how much you stand to loss if things goes opposit, and if you are not kind traders that stays full staring on their trading computers all day.
7: This is my favourite part, Stoploss can actually allow you to risk very little and gain more if only you are a patient trader and always plan well. E.g When you have $1k, You can risk $50 and target to earn $250 and above or Risk $100 and target 500 and above.

Well everything you have described would lead only to one outcome,
trades would be closed prematurelly as loss on stop loss
if you let them grow instead they could become profitable on long run.

As you don't have any account and I have many my opinion is based on real experience, while yours is just an theory.

That ...Executed automatically, at any time... is actually not true
When Swiss bank removed the peg SL were simply not executed by broker as they lack liquidity

Personally I never trade with stop lose, and not encouraging anyone to follow me, I have my own strategy which works for the past 3 years, what I liked about your post and I agree 100% is the drawdown, I hate seeing my drawdown more than 20%, and one of my accounts I was happy with, its drawdown was below 2% for few months

only 20% DD? god christ i must be some level of reckless.

Actually do not confuse stop loss with stopping a loss.
SL is actually loss. It close trade at defined level and decrease your balance and restore your equity.
Yeah it is necesarry to do sometimes. But be carefull usng too much of stop losses will bring you gues what?
Too much loss on your account.

Stoploss is must but where to put stoploss depend upon type of strategy.

1.For trend following strategy small Stoploss should be used.
2.For countertrend strategy large Stoploss should be used as a protective stop in such a way that trading position survives say 95% of time.
The market will trade through it’s path of least resistance .

Fixed stop loss strategies are popular because they make the thought and decision-making process much easier.

Yes you are right. For short term traders stop loss is very important. It helps a trader to reduce his risk. But it needs good experience to place a well calculated stop loss. Otherwise you will hit stop loss if you don't know how to where to place a stop loss.

Yeah, stop loss is important for good money and risk management. However, I prefer trailing stop loss. It reduces my loss significantly.

There are many types of stop-loss benefits. Many traders who do not use stop loss face unexpected losses for this reason. Those who use stop-loss are usually within the discipline. Money management and risk management cannot be followed without using a stop loss. If a trader wants to be successful in trading, he must use stop loss.

A stop loss order is an order to close a position at a certain price point/percentage in order to limit one's losses.
