This is just one tool, how people use (or abuse...) it is something completely different.
Sorry, didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Was just trying to help.
When you decide not to include a stop loss or you optimize in some way then that's just what you're doing.

Sorry, maybe that's what you meant.
If it's just a game then you can ignore these other issues.
