🚨 WHY I STOPPED USING STOP-LOSSES (And What I Do Instead)
For years, I believed stop-losses were smart risk management…
Until I realized I wasn’t losing to the market—I was losing to manipulation.
Here’s the Ugly Truth:
⚠️ Your stop-loss isn’t protection — it’s a target
🤖 Bots hunt stop zones like sharks scenting blood
📉 That “random” wick? It’s precision-engineered
My Lightbulb Moment:
🔥 Over and over again, I’d watch:
1️⃣ Price dip just to my SL
2️⃣ Instantly snap back
3️⃣ Then shoot exactly where I predicted
This isn’t paranoia — this is crypto.
💸 Exchanges thrive on liquidation traps
🐳 Whales design these moves to flush retail
🎯 Your stop-loss is a neon sign showing where to strike
So What Do I Do Now?
✅ No public stop-losses — mental exits only
✅ Smaller position sizes — survival over ego
✅ Spot trading only — no leverage traps
✅ Watch the order book — follow the setup, not the bait
Bottom Line:
In crypto, predictable traders are prey.
Stop being bait. Start thinking like a predator.
