đŸ’„ BTC at $110K—Don’t Get Liquidated Like Last Week’s $300B Wipeout

Professional traders survived September’s volatility while amateurs got wiped out. The difference? 👉 Proper risk management through stop-loss orders.

🚹 The Liquidation Reality: $300B Lessons

  1. $300B+ in leveraged positions liquidated during September’s 15% swing

  2. 78% of retail traders had no stop-loss strategy

  3. Pro funds risked only 2–3% per position

  4. Avg liquidation distance: 8–12% from entry (preventable with stops!)

🛑 Stop-Loss Fundamentals: Beyond Basics

✅ Market Stop-Loss → Instant execution, but slippage risk

✅ Limit Stop-Loss → Price protection, but may not trigger in fast moves

✅ Trailing Stop-Loss → Locks profits, but whipsaws in choppy markets

🧠 Advanced Pro Techniques

📊 ATR-Based Stops (Adaptive Risk):

  1. ATR (14-day): ~$3,200 → Stop = $8K away

  2. Logical stop for BTC long = $102K

📈 Support/Resistance Buffers:

  1. Longs: Stops 3–5% below major support

  2. Shorts: Stops 3–5% above major resistance

📉 Volume Profile Stops: Place beyond high-volume nodes → stronger than basic TA.
