$BTC $ETH $XRP How to Avoid Liquidation When the Market Declines Suddenly (Without Stop-Loss)?
If the market drops unexpectedly and you don’t have a stop-loss set, here’s what you can do immediately to prevent liquidation:
1. Hedge Your Position
Open an opposite trade (if you are in a long, open a short with the same size).
This locks your loss and prevents further margin depletion.
Example: If you are long on ETH and it crashes, open a short ETH position to balance the loss.
2. Add More Margin (Increase Balance)
If your margin is low, deposit extra funds to delay liquidation.
This buys time for a potential recovery.
3. Reduce Position Size
Manually close part of your position to free up margin.
This reduces liquidation risk without exiting completely.
4. Switch to Isolated Margin (If Using Cross)
If you’re on cross margin, switch to isolated margin to prevent your entire balance from being used.
5. Look for a Quick Rebound
If the market shows signs of bouncing back, hold and monitor closely.
However, don’t wait too long—if it keeps falling, apply the above strategies.
6. Use Scalping to Recover Losses
If stuck in a bad trade, look for small scalping opportunities in other pairs to recover losses without closing your main position.
7. Monitor BTC Movement
If Bitcoin is crashing, altcoins will likely follow. Exit weak altcoins early or hedge them immediately.
Final Tip:
Even if you prefer trading without a stop-loss, always have a backup plan like hedging, margin top-up, or partial closing to avoid total liquidation. React fast—don’t wait for a miracle!
