#StopLossStartegies

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.

Combining these strategies helps me balance between capital protection and profit-taking, adapting to the unpredictability of the crypto market.
