I used to think stop-losses were essential. Turns out, they were my biggest weakness.
Hereās the ugly truth:
Your stop-loss? Itās not safetyāitās a target
Bots and whales look for liquidity like sharks smell blood
That perfect wick that just tapped your SL? It wasnāt random
My wake-up call: š„ Trade after trade:
1. Price tags #Price-Prediction my stop exactly
2. Reverses instantly
3. Then moons in my direction š¤Æ
This isnāt paranoiaāitās crypto.
Exchanges profit off your liquidations
Big players manipulate price to trigger retail stops
SLs make you predictable = easy prey
What I do now: 1ļøā£ No visible stop-losses ā I use mental exits
2ļøā£ Smaller position sizes ā I survive volatility
3ļøā£ Spot trading only ā No leverage traps
4ļøā£ Read the order books ā Watch where liquidity really sits
š In crypto, the #1 rule: Donāt be predictable.
