#StopLossStrategies

Stop Loss Strategy in Crypto Trading is crucial — because the crypto market operates 24/7, is super volatile, and can move extremely in a matter of minutes. Here are Stop Loss strategies suitable for crypto trading:

1. Percentage-Based Stop Loss

Example: You set SL at -2% to -5% from the entry price.

Advantages: Simple & suitable for scalpers/day traders.

Note: Don’t over-leverage, or such a small SL will get hit often.

2. Support/Resistance-Based SL

Example: Buy BTC at $65,000, then place SL below strong support, for example at $63,800.

Advantages: More technical and makes sense from a price action perspective.

Note: Must be able to read charts.

3. Volatility-Based (ATR Stop)

Use ATR (Average True Range) to measure volatility, then set SL 1–2x the ATR value below/above the entry price.

Advantages: Flexible & adaptive to the market.

Note: Requires additional indicators, but suitable for the fluctuating crypto market.

4. Trailing Stop Loss

SL will move up when the price goes up (for long), but will not move down when the price drops.

Example: Entry at $62,000, trailing SL at 3%. If the price rises to $64,000, SL moves up to $62,080.

Advantages: Locks in profit when the market continues to rise.

Note: Suitable for swing/position traders.

5. Time-Based Exit + Stop Loss

Sometimes it’s not just price that is the reason to exit, but time. For example:

"If the position doesn’t move within 24 hours, exit manually even if SL hasn’t been hit."

Suitable for scalping/day trading to ensure capital isn’t idle.

Crypto Trading Tips Using SL:

Use limit + stop orders, don’t market panic sell.

Avoid emotional stop loss (constantly adjusting when the price approaches).

SL = a survival tool. It’s not to reduce profit, but to save capital.
