I use stop losses nearly every day on certain stocks. Especially some of the highly speculative ones where you expect a 20% run up but may get a 20% drop. I'll buy the stock and then just go ahead and set up a stop loss.
And then a stock like X which is up over 50% for the year and reaching a level that could begin to decline. I think when it hits $40 I will put a daily stop loss just in case. It costs nothing to do it anyway.
BTW , scho63 , I use ETRADE so I can't help with your Q's
