Seeing $BTC hover around $63,600 and $ETH near $1,858, I’m reminded how easy it is to let a single trade dictate the day. The first line of defense is a clear stop‑loss rule that matches your risk tolerance, not the market’s mood.
I usually set the stop a few percent below the entry, but I also look at recent swing lows. For example, if I bought $BTC at $63,500, the 24‑hour low of $62,445 gives a natural floor. Placing a stop at $62,250 (roughly 2 % under entry) caps the loss while leaving room for normal volatility.
Next comes position sizing. If my daily risk budget is 1 % of the total capital, a $2,000 loss on a $200,000 account is the max I’d accept. With a $2,250 stop distance, that translates to roughly 0.89 BTC (≈ $2,000) – enough to stay in the trade without blowing the account.
Finally, discipline matters more than any indicator. When the price ticks close to the stop, resist the urge to “move the goalposts.” Accept the loss, review the trade, and reset for the next setup.
How do you balance stop‑loss tightness with the risk of getting stopped out on normal swings?
