#StopLossStrategies

I used to avoid setting stop-losses — it felt like admitting I wasn’t confident in my trades. I’d think, “What if it triggers and then the market flips?” That mindset ended up costing me more than I care to admit.

But after getting burned during some wild market swings, I faced reality: stop-losses aren’t a sign of weakness — they’re a sign of discipline. They don’t mean you’re giving up; they mean you’re protecting your capital and staying in the game. Even better, they remove emotion from your decisions when it matters most.

These days, I always set my stop-losses using key technical levels and my personal risk tolerance. And I avoid placing them right at obvious support or resistance — that’s just asking to get stop-hunted.

Here’s the truth: if you’re trading without a stop-loss, you’re not managing risk — you’re gambling. Want to level up your trading? Start with this one habit. It changed everything for me, and I’ll never trade without it again.
