**🚨 WHY I STOPPED USING STOP-LOSSES (And What I Do Instead)**

For years, I swore by stop-losses – until I realized **I wasn't losing to the market... I was losing to the game.**

**The Harsh Truth:**

- Your stop-loss isn't protection – **it's a target**

- Bots hunt predictable liquidity like sharks smell blood

- That "random" wick that hit your SL? **It wasn't random**

**My Wake-Up Call:**

🔥 Trade after trade, price would:

1) Dip **exactly** to my stop-loss

2) Reverse **immediately** after

3) Rocket in my original direction

**This Isn't Conspiracy – It's Crypto:**

- Exchanges profit from liquidations

- Big players **manipulate** price to trigger stops

- Your "safe" SL makes you **the prey**

**My New Rules:**

1️⃣ **Ditch Visible Stops** → Use mental exits

2️⃣ **Size Smaller** → Survive the fakeouts

3️⃣ **Trade Spot Only** → Avoid leverage traps

4️⃣ **Watch Order Books** → Spot the liquidity hunts

**The Bottom Line:**

In crypto, **the first rule is don't be predictable.**
