🚫 Stop Loss Eating Up Your Portfolio❓ Here’s Why I Don’t Use It in Crypto — And Maybe You Shouldn’t Either😱💥

If you’ve been in crypto for a while, you’ve probably heard the golden rule:

“Always set a stop loss.”

But after 5+ years of real-world crypto trading, I’ve learned that this advice doesn’t always hold up — especially in a market as wild and manipulated as crypto.

❗ Why I Avoid Stop Losses

Crypto is fast, volatile, and often targeted by whales and exchanges. Here’s the usual pattern:

1️⃣ You set a stop loss

2️⃣ A minor dip hits your stop

3️⃣ Price bounces back — without you in the trade

Why does this keep happening?

Because big players know where retail traders set stops. When those levels become stacked with orders, they trigger them, grab liquidity, and let the market recover.

You lose, they win.

🔄 So What Do I Do Instead?

✅ Focus on averaging down and using low leverage.

This shift in strategy has protected me from emotional exits and avoidable losses.

💡 My Real-World Crypto Strategy:

🔹 Trade only top 20 coins — more stable, less likely to crash

🔹 Use only 20% of your capital per trade

🔹 If the price drops 20–30%, add another 20%

🔹 Take profits when you’re up 50% or more — don’t get greedy

🔹 If using futures, never exceed 3x leverage

🧠 Mindset That Builds Survivors, Not Losers:

✅ Don’t chase green candles — wait for your setup

✅ Keep 30% in stablecoins for unexpected dips

✅ Log your trades — learn from wins & mistakes

✅ Ditch luck — build logic, patience, and discipline
