Stop loss placement separates beginners from survivors.
Tight stops equal death by a thousand cuts. Wide stops equal account blowup.
The sweet spot: ATR-based stops at 1.5 to 2x ATR from entry.
Example: BTC ATR(14) equals 1200 dollars. Stop at 1800 to 2400 dollars from entry.
Last month I moved from 1x to 1.8x ATR. Win rate dropped five percent. Expectancy doubled.
Poll: What is your current stop method?
1. Fixed percentage
2. ATR based
3. Structure based
4. Mental stop (be honest)
