Systematic traders use options to hedge risks; traders who rely on market sense rely more on stop-loss orders.

but if the morning opening gap down(in case of stocks futures long) is huge like 10% plus, the loss would be huge, right? so, to avoid such cases what an experienced trader would do?

Avoid events. Hedge with options.
