#DiversifyYourAssets Stop-loss strategies are essential in crypto trading to help manage risk and protect your capital from big losses due to the market's high volatility. Here are some common stop-loss strategies used in crypto:

1. Fixed Percentage Stop-Loss

How it works: You decide a fixed percentage of loss you’re willing to take (e.g., 2% or 5%) and set the stop-loss accordingly.

Example: If you buy BTC at $50,000 and set a 5% stop-loss, your order would sell automatically at $47,500.

2. Trailing Stop-Loss

How it works: This stop-loss follows the price as it rises but stays fixed once the price drops.

Benefit: Locks in profits during an uptrend.

Example: You set a trailing stop-loss 10% below the peak. If BTC rises from $50,000 to $60,000, the stop-loss moves up to $54,000. If BTC falls, it sells at $54,000.

3. Support Level Stop-Loss

How it works: You place your stop-loss just below a known support level (a price where the coin often bounces back up).

Benefit: Uses technical analysis to set realistic risk levels.

Example: If support is at $48,000, place your stop just below that (e.g., $47,800).

4. Volatility-Based Stop-Loss

How it works: You set the stop-loss based on the asset’s average volatility (e.g., using ATR – Average True Range).

Benefit: Adjusts dynamically to market conditions.

Example: If BTC’s ATR is $2,000, you may set your stop $2,000 below your entry point.

5. Time-Based Stop-Loss

How it works: You exit the trade after a set amount of time if the price hasn’t moved as expected.

Used when: You’re trading based on a short-term catalyst or pattern.

Tips for Using Stop-Loss in Crypto:

Avoid placing stop-loss orders at obvious round numbers — bots can trigger these levels.

Combine with take-profit levels for a good risk/reward ratio.

Always account for market slippage or exchange behavior (some exchanges can have sudden wicks).
