#StopLossStrategies | HOW STOP LOSS SAVED ME
Having a solid stop-loss plan isn’t just smart — it’s survival. Over time, I’ve learned that letting emotions drive exits is costly. Here’s what worked for me:
🔹 Trailing Stop-Loss
This one’s been a game changer. It lets profits ride while protecting downside. I set mine at a % below current price — it climbs as price climbs.
Example:
Bought at $100, trailing at 10%
Price hits $120 → Stop auto-adjusts to $108
If it drops to $115, I’m out with profits locked
Win secured, no regrets.
🔹 Fixed % Stop-Loss
For tighter control, I use risk-based thresholds.
Bought at $50, risked 5%, stop at $47.50
Market tanked — stop triggered
Stock later crashed to $40
But I was safe. Exit clean. Loss minimized.
Both strategies keep me grounded and prevent panic. I don’t marry positions. I manage risk. The goal isn’t to win every time — it’s to stay in the game long enough to catch the big ones.
📌 Stay sharp. Protect your capital.
May your trades be blessed and your stops respected.
