$BTC is sitting at $80,256 with a modest 3.95 % daily move, while $ETH trades around $2,494 and is up 1.98 %. In a range‑bound market like today, protecting capital matters more than chasing every tick.
A simple rule I follow is to set the stop‑loss just outside the last 24‑hour low for the pair. For $BTC that means a stop around $76,670; for $ETH a stop near $2,428. If the price breaks below those levels, the market is showing a shift and the trade’s risk profile changes.
Position size then follows the 1 % rule: only risk 1 % of your account on any single trade. With a $10,000 account, that’s $100. If the $BTC stop is $3,586 away, the max position would be $100 / $3,586 ≈ 0.028 BTC. This keeps the downside limited while still allowing a reasonable upside if the price respects the range.
