#StopLossStrategies The stop-loss strategy is an important tool that helps traders control risk by automatically closing positions when the price reaches a predetermined level. There are two common approaches: fixed stop-loss (set at a fixed % level, for example, 5-10% below the entry price) and trailing stop – which automatically adjusts according to price trends, protecting profits when the market rises and limiting losses when reversing.

To optimize, many people combine stop-loss with technical analysis (support/resistance, EMA, RSI) or capital management rules (not risking more than 2% of total capital per trade). The key point is the discipline to adhere to avoid moving the stop-loss due to false hopes of recovery. Stop-loss not only minimizes losses but also helps maintain a stable mindset, avoiding impulsive decisions during crises.
