discipline and unrealized losses: a choice
A stop-loss isn’t a failure; it’s your insurance 🛡️
This week, $BTC dropped more than 3% in just a few 4-hour candles. Those who had a stop-loss got out with a small, controlled loss. The others are staring at their screens, hoping for a rebound.
My 4 rules for staying in the markets:
1️⃣ No more than 2% of your capital per position
2️⃣ Set your stop-loss when you enter, never afterward
3️⃣ Minimum R:R of 1:2: if the potential gain isn’t worth twice the risk, I pass
4️⃣ Don’t average down without a plan made in advance
A 1% loss is easy to recover from. A 50% loss requires a 100% gain just to break even.
The goal isn’t to be right on every trade, but to stay in the game long enough for your strategy to do its job. Waiting for a confirmed close is better than trying to guess the bottom. 📉➡️📈
