【🔥The First Lesson of Contract Survival: Stop Loss = the 'Seatbelt' of Your Account】
Beginners often fantasize: 'Just hold on, I'll break even eventually.'
The reality is: the cryptocurrency market punishes defiance; a single all-in bet without a stop loss could lead to complete exit.
📉 Why must you set a stop loss?
✅ The market is unpredictable—black swans, spikes, sudden crashes… a stop loss is your only shield.
✅ Reject emotional manipulation—'play dead' during floating losses? A stop loss is a pre-established discipline to avoid traps.
✅ Preserve your capital for recovery—losing 50% requires a 100% gain to break even. Protecting your principal is key to the next opportunity.
🎯 Three Scientific Stop Loss Techniques (A Must for Beginners)
1️⃣ Technical Stop Loss
🔹 Stop loss after breaking key support/resistance levels
🔹 Individual loss ≤ 2%-5% of total capital
🔹 Exit decisively if it drops below the 20/30-day moving average
2️⃣ Volatility Stop Loss (Smart Protection Against Whipsaws)
🔸 Reference ATR (Average True Range)
🔸 Stop loss point = opening position ± 1.5 times ATR
🔸 Avoid 'spiky markets', reject ineffective stop losses
3️⃣ Time Stop Loss (Most People Overlook!)
⏳ Price remains stagnant after opening a position?
⏳ Your judgment may have failed; exit promptly to save opportunity cost
⚠️ Three Major Misconceptions about Stop Losses
❌ Setting stop loss too close → gets knocked out by volatility
✅ Allow some space, reference recent highs and lows
❌ Moving stop loss after a loss → hoping for a rebound
✅ The stop loss line is a 'high-pressure line', execute immediately upon contact
❌ Frequent small stop losses → accumulate into large losses
✅ Improve entry quality; trade less in a choppy market
💎 A Final Heartfelt Statement
Knowing how to open a position makes you a student; knowing how to set a stop loss makes you a master.
Survival doesn't require being right every time, but it is essential—when wrong, to lose less.
