toinou, there are lots of traders using this strategy on 5,15,30,1h,4h,etc... that's why there are respect of the trend line in every time frame.
About stop loss, I have learned the hard way when I made a ton of profit, went to bed and woke up next day wiped out lol. thankfully, it was a demo account. I blew up many of them. it is good to learn while you are in training than learning in your live account.
since you are using EA, then you are playing smart. Stop loss is good in case power outrageous or internet interruptions etc.... anything is possible.
About how good I am or someone else, I don't consider myself good yet, but i am hanging in there trying to be disciplined. I am not in hurry, but I am almost there.
