What is a “Stop-Loss” (and why most beginners blow up without it)

A stop-loss is a pre-set price where you exit a trade automatically to limit damage.

Why it matters: Crypto moves fast—without a stop, one bad move can wipe weeks of profit.

Simple rule:

If your stop is hit, the idea is wrong → exit, don’t “hope.”

Beginner example:

You buy$BTC at $100 (example).

You set stop-loss at $95.

Max loss = $5 per BTC unit. That’s controlled risk.

Pro tip: Place stop at the price where your setup is invalid—not at a random number.

If you want, I can turn this into a daily 1-post series (Risk, Trend, Support/Resistance, DCA, Futures basics).
