# 🛑 Stop Loss, friend or foe?

In the world of trading, there is a clear dividing line:

Those who consider stop loss as a vital risk management tool,

and those who see it as a trap created by the whales to take small traders out of the market before important movements.

Both positions have some truth. But, like almost everything in trading, context matters..

Those against stop loss often argue

That the price tends to “hunt stops” only to then go in the expected direction.

That trading without a stop and with long-term patience often ends in profits (if the project is good).

That big players manipulate liquidity zones to clear out small traders before moving the price.

And while it sounds conspiratorial… there are real examples that back it up.

On the other side, they say: The stop is mandatory.

Those who claim that not using a stop means no risk management.

And there’s not much to discuss here: if you enter with high leverage, without a clear loss limit, you are playing roulette.

And at this point, they are right.

In my opinion, it depends on how you trade.

For me, the stop loss is neither a friend nor a foe, it is a tool.

And like any tool, it depends on how you use it.

📉 If you trade with leverage, in short periods, or with dubious coins → the stop is mandatory.

🕰️ But if you are going long-term, without leverage, and entering projects with solid fundamentals → the stop can be more of an emotional hindrance than a real help.

I’m not talking about letting the price fall uncontrollably. I’m talking about having a real criterion, not trading based on emotions, and knowing why you are in an asset.

Which side are you on?

There are many who never use stops and do well.

And many others who never exit on time… because they didn’t use it when they should have.

Do you think the stop is a necessity or just another trap of the market? #Binance $BTC $ETH
