My Stop-Loss Strategies: Protection and Profit

In cryptocurrency trading, particularly with Bitcoin, I use a combination of fixed stop-losses and trailing stop-losses to minimize risks and maximize profits. I set fixed stop-losses based on technical levels: key support zones that I determine using charts and my risk tolerance, usually no more than 5% of the deposit. For example, if I buy BTC at $81,000 and the nearest support is at $78,000, I place the stop-loss slightly lower — at $77,500, to avoid false triggers due to volatility.

I apply trailing stop-losses during upward trends. They allow me to lock in profits as the price rises, automatically adjusting the stop-loss level. For example, if I set a trailing stop at 3%, and the price of BTC rises to $85,000, the stop-loss automatically rises to $82,450, protecting my profit. This approach has proven effective during sharp market movements, such as the BTC correction in March 2025 after the announcement of strategic reserves.
