WHY I NO LONGER TRUST STOP-LOSS STRATEGIES IN CRYPTO

For the longest time, I believed stop-losses were my shield—my way of staying disciplined and protecting capital.

But trade after trade, the same thing kept happening.

Price would dip—not naturally, but violently—just enough to hit my stop… then shoot back in the exact direction I predicted. Every time.

That wasn’t bad luck. That was design.

It hit me hard:

🧠 I wasn’t losing because I misread the chart.

🧠 I was losing because I was playing by rules written to trap me.

Behind the candles, high-frequency bots are operating like snipers—scanning order books with machine precision.

Their goal isn’t to join the market. Their goal is to manipulate it.

They trigger your stops, create the illusion of chaos, and profit from your reaction.

And the exchange?

Every wick that liquidates retail traders is a payday.

They win—when you lose.

This isn’t about emotion. It’s about a system designed to bleed predictable traders dry.

I didn’t get hunted because I was weak.

I got hunted because I was visible.

Now I know:

In crypto, the real game isn’t price prediction—it’s avoiding becoming the target.

💬 Ever had a trade liquidated to the exact decimal… then watched the chart reverse immediately?
