The Real Way to Protect Your Capital
Traders don’t blow up accounts because they’re wrong — they blow up because they didn’t manage the risk.
No Stop Loss? You're gambling.
Emotional Stop Loss? You’re begging the market to punish you.
Stop Loss = Your First Line of Defense.
What is it?
A predefined exit that protects your capital when the trade turns against you.
Like a seatbelt — not always needed, but life-saving when chaos hits.
Top SL Mistakes to AVOID:
1. Emotional SLs: Random, unplanned, and deadly.
2. Fixed Distance: The market isn’t static — why is your SL?
3. Widening SLs: You’re not giving it “room to breathe” — you’re bleeding out.
Pro SL Techniques:
1. Structure-Based: Below support / above resistance.
2. ATR-Based: Let volatility set the buffer.
3. Risk-Based: Let your capital dictate the pain threshold.
Elite Tips:
Avoid round numbers — they’re stop loss magnets.
Go wick-proof — place SLs beyond fakeouts.
Use trailing SLs — protect profits as you ride momentum.
Final Words:
Stop Loss isn’t weakness — it’s WISDOM.
Master it, and you master survival.
You can’t control the market — but you can control your exit.
