“STOP LOSS + TAKE PROFIT = The Silent Superpower of Elite Traders”
99% talk about entries. The 1% master exits. Be the 1%.
Read this twice if you want to survive the markets.
---
1️⃣ Stop Loss is Not Just a Line — It’s Self-Respect.
Setting a SL is saying:
> “I refuse to let one bad trade ruin me.”
No SL = you’re hoping the market will show mercy.
It won’t.
---
2️⃣ Take Profit is Not Greed — It’s Discipline.
TP is how you cash out before euphoria becomes regret.
Exit on strength, not weakness.
TP = celebration. Don’t wait for catastrophe.
---
3️⃣ Real Traders Don't Move SL — They MOVE ON.
Widening your SL = begging for pain.
True pros say: “It didn’t work. I’ll wait for a better setup.”
Detach or drown.
---
4️⃣ Build a “Trigger Map” Before You Enter
Your trade should have 3 clear zones:
SL = “I'm wrong here”
Entry = “I believe here”
TP = “I'm right here”
If you can’t map it… don’t trade it.
---
5️⃣ SL/TP Should Be So Logical… It Hurts to Ignore
If your SL/TP is random? You’re not trading, you're gambling.
Use:
Swing High/Low Zones
Volatility Bands (ATR, Bollinger)
Price Action Structures
Build logic. Then follow it like a robot.
---
6️⃣ Use the 1% Rule: Your SL is Always Protecting You.
✅ Risk max 1% of capital per trade
✅ Always know: “What’s the cost if I’m wrong?”
This is how you stay in the game when others blow up.
---
7️⃣ Trail Your Profits Like a Boss
Don’t guess tops — trail SL as price goes your way.
Secure the bag slowly.
Use:
MA trails (e.g. 21 EMA)
Swing lows
Trailing SL feature (in Futures)
---
8️⃣ Hidden SL = Ninja Mode
Think SLs get hunted?
Set an alert instead. Exit manually with stealth.
Works best in low-liquidity or volatile coins.
Advanced but deadly.
---
9️⃣ No Setup? No SL/TP? No Trade.
You should be able to answer these BEFORE you click Buy:
Where do I exit if I’m right?
Where do I exit if I’m wrong?
Why does this level matter?
If you can’t answer all three — step away.
