$BTC is holding around $76,034 with a tight 24‑hour range. That kind of sideways market is perfect for tightening risk controls before any breakout.
Start with your total capital allocation for a single trade – I like to cap it at 2 % of my portfolio. Then decide how much of that 2 % I’m willing to lose if the trade goes against me. A common rule is 0.5 % of the whole account, which translates to a 25 % loss on the position itself.
If your account is $10,000, 0.5 % is $50. With $BTC at $76,034, a $50 risk means a stop‑loss about $50 ÷ (position size) away. For a $500 position (5 % of the account), the stop sits roughly $10 below entry – a tight stop that forces you out before a larger drift.
The key is consistency: every trade follows the same risk‑per‑trade rule, so a string of losses never wipes you out. How do you decide the exact stop‑loss distance when the market is flat versus trending?
