🛑 Stop Loss, friend or foe?
In the world of trading, there is a clear dividing line:
Those who consider stop loss as a vital risk management tool,
and those who see it as a trap created by the whales to push out the small traders from the market before significant movements.
Both positions have some truth. But, like almost everything in trading, context matters..
Those against stop loss usually argue
That the price often "hunts stops" only to then go in the expected direction.
That trading without a stop and having patience in the long term usually ends in profits (if the project is good).
That the big players manipulate liquidity zones to clear out the small trader before moving the price.
And while it sounds conspiratorial… there are real examples that support it.
On the other side, they say: The stop is mandatory.
Those who claim that not using a stop means not having risk management.
And there’s not much to argue here: if you enter with high leverage, without a clear loss limit, you are playing roulette.
And at this point, they are right.

In my opinion, it depends on how you trade.
For me, the stop loss is neither friend nor foe, it is a tool.
And like any tool, it depends on how you use it.
📉 If you trade with leverage, in short periods, or with dubious coins → the stop is mandatory.
🕰️ But if you are in for the long term, without leverage, and entering projects with solid fundamentals → the stop can be more of an emotional hindrance than real help.
I’m not talking about letting the price plummet uncontrollably. I’m talking about having real criteria, not trading by emotions, and knowing why you are in an asset.
Which side are you on?
There are many who never use stops and do well.
And many others who never exit on time… because they didn’t use it when they should have.
👇 I’m interested in reading your opinion:
Do you think the stop is a necessity or just another trap of the market?
