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. 💬 Ever had a “stop-loss hunt” moment? Share your experience below — it’s time we talk about it. (RT if you’ve been SL hunted too 👇) PS: New here?
