😡"Price is Always Moving to Where I Put My Stoploss… That’s Why I Don’t Use Stoplosses."😤
I hear this so often from traders who end up stuck in trades they should’ve closed hours — or even days ago. If you’ve been there, you know that sick feeling watching unrealized losses grow, hoping it’ll turn around.
But here’s the hard truth: Not using a stoploss isn’t strategy, it’s avoidance.
Why Traders Get Trapped
Without a stoploss, emotions take over. You turn a small manageable loss into a stress-filled nightmare. And the worst part? It steals your mental clarity for your next trades.
But I get it — you set a stop, and price taps it before running in your direction. Feels rigged, right? That’s because you’re placing stops where market makers expect liquidity pools to be.
Here’s How to Outsmart Them:
✔️ Stop Hunting Zones
Smart money looks for clusters of liquidity — usually above recent highs or below obvious lows. That’s where everyone hides their stops.
✔️ Best Place for Your Stoploss
Put it beyond structure, outside of where obvious liquidity grabs happen. If you’re buying, place stops below the last significant swing low, not the immediate one.
If you’re selling, above the last significant swing high.
✔️ Pre-Plan Your Trades
Before entering, define:
Entry
Stoploss (beyond structure, not at liquidity clusters)
Take-profits (partial at key levels)
Risk per trade (1-2% max)
✔️ Think Like a Market Maker Ask yourself: “If I was hunting stops, where would I place them?” Then avoid those levels.
Look for false breakouts around highs/lows followed by aggressive moves in the opposite direction. That’s your sign of a liquidity sweep.
Stop trading emotionally. Start trading intentionally.
Plan your stop like a pro. Control risk. Protect your capital.
Your longevity in this game depends on it.
