$BTC is sitting just under $63,900 on Binance, while
$ETH hovers around $1,894. With the market moving in a narrow band, it’s a perfect moment to tighten risk controls instead of chasing the next breakout.
First, define a stop‑loss that respects the asset’s recent volatility. The 24‑hour low for
$BTC is $63,310 and the high is $64,010, giving a swing of roughly $700. A common rule is to place the stop about half that range below your entry, so a long entry at $63,850 would have a stop near $63,500. That limits loss to about 0.55 % of the position, well within a typical 1 %‑per‑trade risk limit.
Second, size the position to match the stop distance. If your account is $10,000 and you’re willing to risk 1 % ($100), the $350 stop gap means you can buy roughly $285 worth of
$BTC (≈0.0045 BTC). The same calculation works for
$ETH : a $20 swing suggests a $10 risk translates to about $250 of
$ETH .
How do you determine your stop‑loss distance when the market is flat?
