Watching $BTC hover around $72,300 on Binance today reminded me why protecting capital beats chasing every rally. I recently trimmed a $BTC swing‑trade by setting a hard stop‑loss 2 % below my entry at $70,800, then sized the position so the loss would never exceed 1 % of my total portfolio. With a $10 k account that means a $100 risk, translating to roughly 0.014 BTC. If the market slips past $70,800, the stop triggers automatically, capping the downside while leaving room for the next move.
The same principle works on $ETH, where volatility can swing 10 % in a day. I entered near the $2,300 high, placed the stop 3 % lower at $2,231, and calculated the position size to risk the same 1 % of capital. Even if $ETH slides through that level, the loss is bounded and my overall exposure stays manageable.
What’s your go‑to method for deciding stop‑loss distance and position size when the market feels tight?
