šŸ’„ How I Protected Myself from Losing Everything in the OM Crash
The Night OM/USDT Dropped 94% – And Why My Strategy Saved Me


When the price of OM/USDT dropped from $6.86 to $0.35 in a matter of hours on April 21, 2025, thousands of traders were caught off guard. But not me.


šŸ’” Here's how I protected my capital:



āœ… 1. I Always Use a Stop-Loss

Before entering any trade, I set a stop-loss—a level where the trade automatically closes if the price drops too much. In this case, my stop-loss was at $6.20, which triggered just before the freefall began.


This single decision saved me from a 94% loss.



āœ… 2. I Take Small Profits Early

I used to chase ā€œthe big green candleā€ — now I’m all about securing small, consistent wins. In this trade, I had already booked +8% profit on part of my position. The rest was protected by the stop-loss.


🚨 Small profit > massive losses. Always.



āœ… 3. I Trade With a Plan — Not Emotions

During a crash, panic is your worst enemy. My strategy was set before I entered the trade. I wasn’t glued to the screen or reacting emotionally — I let automation (stop-loss, take-profit) do the job.



šŸ“Š Key Lesson:

Capital preservation > chasing pumps.

One bad move can wipe out months of gains. So next time you're tempted to ride a rocket without a parachute, remember OM.



šŸ“Œ Final Thought:

You don’t have to win every trade.

You need to protect your downside and let small wins stack up.

That’s how you survive long-term.
