Optimization of Stop-Limit Orders Based on Market Volatility
Crypto volatility requires precise risk management. A poorly configured Stop-Limit can leave your trade unexecuted or cause unnecessary losses.
Suggested configuration:
High volatility markets: use a wider Stop > Limit spread (e.g. Stop $1.20, Limit $1.10).
Stable markets: reduced spread (e.g. Stop $2.00, Limit $1.98).
Useful indicators: use the ATR (Average True Range) as a reference to define dynamic ranges.
Avoid:
Stops that are too close in candles with long wicks.
Placing orders before macroeconomic events.
Pro Tip: Adjust your Stop-Limit daily according to the average volatility range. It's active management, not passive.
