🚨 STOP LOSSES AREN'T OPTIONAL. THEY'RE SURVIVAL. 🚨
I had a friend who thought trailing stop losses were for amateurs. He treated futures like a casino – huge leverage, no protection, chasing unrealistic targets. He’d be up $1,000 on a trade, bragging about the “final target,” and I’d tell him, “Lock in your profit NOW!” He wouldn’t listen.
Then the inevitable happened. A whale moved the market, a violent spike, liquidations everywhere… and his $1,000 profit vanished in seconds. He wasn’t wiped out because his analysis was wrong, but because he refused to protect his gains. A trailing stop loss would have saved him.
This isn’t about being right; it’s about staying in the game long enough to win consistently. Crypto is a battlefield, and trailing stops are your armor. 🛡️
Why trailing stops are a MUST:
✅ Automatically locks in profit.
✅ Eliminates panic selling.
✅ Shields you from unpredictable market wicks.
✅ Removes emotional decision-making.
Here’s how to use them (keep it simple):
Option A: Percentage Trailing – Set a 1.5-3% trailing stop based on volatility.
Option B: Structure Trailing – For pros, trail above/below key swing points.
Option C: TP-Based Trailing – Move SL to break-even after TP1, then into profit with each target.
Pro Tip: After TP1 – SL to entry. After TP2 – lock in 30-50% profit. Then let the runner fly! 🚀
And remember these crucial rules:
🔥 Risk only 1-2% per trade.
🔥 Scale out profits at key targets.
🔥 Avoid max leverage on volatile coins like $BTC, $BNB, and $SOL.Don't be the trader who loses it all chasing a dream. Protect your wins. Every. Single. Time.
