#StopLossStrategies One stop — minus pain. Without a stop — minus everything.
On April 5, it showed how quickly the market can turn into a slaughterhouse:
Nasdaq -6%, S&P 500 -5.7%, altcoins - up to -15% in one day.
Who survived? Those who had stops.
Stop-loss is not a weakness, it is discipline.
If you enter the market without an exit strategy, you are not a trader — you are a player.
Advice from those who stay afloat:
– set stops even BEFORE entering,
– consider volatility — don’t set them too close,
– don’t manually adjust 'just in case it bounces' — that’s a trap,
– use trailing stops to lock in profits.
In 2025, the market is a storm. A stop is your life jacket.
