🚨 Why I Stopped Using Stop-Losses (And What I Do Instead)❗❗🤔

For years, I relied on 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 sensing blood

That “random” wick that hit your stop-loss? It wasn’t random

My wake-up call:

Trade after trade, the price would:

1. Dip exactly to my stop-loss

2. Reverse immediately afterward

3. Surge back in my original direction

This isn’t a conspiracy—it’s how crypto works:

Exchanges profit from liquidations

Big players manipulate prices to trigger stops

Your “safe” stop-loss makes you the prey

My new rules:

1. Ditch visible stops and use mental exit points

2. Trade smaller sizes to survive fakeouts

3. Stick to spot trading to avoid leverage traps

4. Watch order books closely to spot liquidity hunts

The bottom line:

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