🚫 Why I Ditched Stop-Losses (And What Works Better for Me Now)

For years, I believed stop-losses were a smart way to protect my capital. But over time, I realized I wasn’t losing to the market — I was getting played by it.

⚠️ The Harsh Reality:

Stop-losses aren’t shields — they’re signals.

They tell the market exactly where your pain point is.

And in crypto, that info is gold… for someone else.

🔍 Ever noticed how:

1. Price touches your SL perfectly

2. Bounces back instantly

3. Then rockets in your original direction?

That’s not coincidence. That’s design.

Welcome to the Game:

Bots scan for clustered stop zones

Whales create fake moves to trigger them

Exchanges often benefit from forced liquidations

Your stop-loss can be a trap — for you.

✅ What I Do Differently Now:

1. No Visible Stops

    → I use mental exits, not orders the market can see

2. Smaller Position Sizes

    → Less stress, more flexibility

3. Spot Trades Only

    → No leverage, no liquidation games

4. Read the Order Book

    → I look for setups — not bait

🧠 Final Thoughts:

In crypto, the more predictable you are, the easier you are to target.

Think like prey — and you’ll get hunted.

Think like a predator — and you’ll see the traps before they snap shut.
