🛡️ How Smart Traders Protect Their BTC Scalps (1-Min Chart)

Scalping BTC on the 1-minute chart?

Seeing a hammer candle doesn’t mean you go in blind.

Here’s how pros protect every trade:

🔴 1. Stop-Loss = First Defense

Set just below the hammer wick.

If price breaks the wick, the reversal failed.

Always protect your capital.

🟡 2. Watch Next Candle

Only enter if the next candle is green and closes above the hammer’s body.

No confirmation? Stay out.

The second candle is the truth.

🟢 3. Proper Size = Freedom

Only risk what you’re okay to lose (1–2%).

$5 capital? Risk $0.20–$0.50.

That way, losing trades don’t damage your mindset.

🧠 Bonus Pro Moves:

Break-even stop once trade is +50% to TP ✅

Time stop: Exit if no breakout after 3 candles 🕒

📌 “SL is your shield. Price action is your sword. Sizing is your armor.”

Trade small, think big.
