#StopLossStrategies

Stop-losses saved my portfolio during the FTX collapse. According to Binance Research (2024), traders who used stop-loss mechanisms consistently were able to reduce their portfolio drawdowns by up to 40% during high-volatility periods. I personally apply fixed percentage stop-losses between 5% to 8%, depending on the asset's volatility, and combine them with trailing stop-losses to protect gains during bullish trends. For example, during the March 2024 market dip, I avoided a 22% loss on a DeFi token by having a stop-loss set at 7%. Implementing stop-losses isn’t just about risk protection—it’s about long-term survival and trading discipline.
