🚨 Why I Stopped Using Stop Losses (And What I Do Instead)
For years, I believed stop-losses were smart—until I realized I wasn’t losing to the market... I was losing to manipulation.
The Harsh Reality:
Your stop-loss isn’t your safety net — it’s a target
Bots hunt those zones like sharks sensing blood
That “random” wick? It’s deliberately designed
The Lightbulb Moment:
🔥 Over and over, I’d watch:
1️⃣ Price drop just to my SL
2️⃣ Snap back instantly
3️⃣ Then rally exactly as I predicted
This Isn’t a Conspiracy — It’s Crypto:
Exchanges profit from liquidations
Whales trigger fakeouts to flush retail traders
Your stop-loss shows them exactly where to strike
So What Do I Do Instead?
1️⃣ No visible stops → Mental exits only
2️⃣ Smaller size → Play the long game
3️⃣ Spot trading only → No leverage traps
4️⃣ Read the order book → Anticipate setups, avoid traps
Bottom Line:
In crypto, the more predictable you are, the easier you are to hunt.
Don’t be bait. Think like a shark.
