Trading Without a StopLoss

Trading Without a StopLoss

Trading Without a StopLoss

MY SUGGESTION, NEXT TIME TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE THREAD, THEN JUDGE. My suggestion is useless now (but try to use it in the future as it will serve you well), as you've already taken a position, and you are not very good at closing losing ...
