#StopLossStrategies

In the crypto market, everything can change in seconds, so the stop-loss strategy is one of my main tools for capital protection. I use both fixed stop-losses and trailing stops. I set fixed ones based on support levels and my risk tolerance — usually between 5% to 15% from the entry point.

I particularly love using trailing stops in a rising market — they 'follow' the price, allowing me to lock in profits if the asset suddenly starts to pull back. One vivid example was in 2023: I held a position in ETH, and thanks to the trailing stop, I closed the trade almost at the peak, avoiding a subsequent sharp decline.

Sometimes, stops trigger earlier than I would like, but for me, it's more important to preserve capital than to chase every wave. A stop-loss is not just a protection against losses; it's a discipline tool that helps me trade calmly and with a cool head, even when the market is volatile.
