Is it mandatory to use Stop-Loss (SL) for all trades?

Updated over 2 months ago

At Stradger, traders have full freedom to manage their own risk — the use of a Stop-Loss (SL) is not mandatory on every trade.

A Stop-Loss (SL) is a key risk management tool that automatically closes a position once the price reaches a predefined level, helping to protect traders from excessive losses. Whether or not to use it depends entirely on each trader’s personal strategy, experience, and tolerance for risk.

However, Stradger strongly recommends responsible trading practices.


Combining Stop-Loss orders with disciplined position sizing and effective risk control helps traders achieve consistent, long-term performance.

While SL use is optional, it remains highly encouraged as part of a sustainable and professional trading approach.
