🚨 WHY I QUIT USING STOP-LOSSES (And What I Do Now Instead)
For years, I thought stop-losses were smart—until I realized I wasn’t losing to the market... I was losing to manipulation.
Here’s the Ugly Truth:
Your stop-loss isn’t protection — it’s bait
Bots hunt stop zones like sharks track blood
That “coincidental” wick? It was precision-engineered
My Lightbulb Moment:
🔥 Again and again, I'd see:
1️⃣ Price dips right to my SL
2️⃣ Snaps back instantly
3️⃣ Then flies exactly where I expected
This Isn’t Paranoia – It’s Crypto:
Exchanges profit from liquidation traps
Whales engineer moves to flush out retail
Your stop-loss tells them exactly where to strike
So What Do I Do Now?
1️⃣ No Public Stops → Mental exits only
2️⃣ Smaller Positions → Stay in the game
3️⃣ Spot Trading Only → Forget leverage traps
4️⃣ Order Book Watching → Catch the setup, not the bait
Bottom Line:
In crypto, the most predictable trader is the easiest to target.
Stop being bait. Start thinking like a predator.
