🚨 WHY I STOPPED USING STOP-LOSSES (And What I Do Instead)

For years, I believed stop-losses were protection.

Turns out… they were often my biggest enemy.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth 👇

Your stop-loss isn’t always safety — sometimes it’s liquidity.

🦈 What I kept seeing, again and again:

1️⃣ Price dips exactly into my SL

2️⃣ Instantly reverses

3️⃣ Then runs straight to my original target

Same idea. Same bias. Same outcome.

Just without me in the trade.

🎯 This isn’t paranoia — it’s how crypto works

• Liquidity sits where retail is predictable

• Stop zones are visible clusters

• Wicks aren’t random — they’re efficient

Exchanges earn from liquidations.

Big players need liquidity to enter.

Retail provides it… unknowingly.

So I changed my approach 👇

🔄 What I Do Now Instead

1️⃣ No visible stop-losses → I manage exits manually

2️⃣ Smaller position sizes → Risk control without forced exits

3️⃣ Spot trades only → No leverage = no liquidation games

4️⃣ Order-book & structure focus → React, don’t predict

📌 Bottom line:

In crypto, the most predictable trader is the easiest one to exploit.

If you trade like everyone else — you’ll get treated like everyone else.
