Congratulations and best wishes as you go forward Sympathy. I'm glad to have been of some help to you as well as others. May God watch over you on your journey my friend.
The SL can help when you are learning and practicing as it can avert a large draw down or the wipe out of an underfunded, over-traded account. When that light turns on and you start to "see", then the SL becomes nothing more than a "take my money" sign you hang for real money accounts. "I" am the SL for my trades when I'm in the seat and tracking the Fox.
It's such a simple concept when you get down to it, and you realize this when the light turns on. You will also realize that the more you try to explain the simple process to others, the more complicated it becomes.
I still receive emails from many others, some who were silent observers here and never posted, about the changes that they have been able to make in their lives, once the light came on for them.
Good luck!
