Some of yall REALLY need this thread right now. Trading without a Stop Loss is like sex without a condom or marriage without a prenup. It's assinine. What do I always say? Capital preservation FIRST! You should not be bag holding or really losing any more than 10% per trade.
Whether it's a trailing stop on a run or even just utilizing a mental stop loss, planning your trades ahead of time will save you from "bag holding". I love yall too much to keep seeing this happen. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/020915/mustknow-simple-effective-exit-trading-strategies.asp
Now once you've honed your craft, there's room to play in the grey. For instance when I'm swinging a ticker I know it inside and out; I know the whys and whats of each dip and run. I know where support is and if she's being shorted. I can buy the dip and ride it out.
But please for the love of all that is holy....STOP TRADING UNPROTECTED. Wrap it before you tap it baby.
The end.
The end.
