I was watching
$BTC trade around $64,964 with a tight 24‑hour range of $64,166‑$65,391 and thought about how a simple risk‑management tweak can keep a portfolio safe when volatility feels low.
Imagine you have $10,000 allocated to crypto. You decide to risk only 2 % on any single trade – that’s $200. If you enter a long position at the current price, set a stop‑loss just below the recent low, say $64,100. The distance from entry to stop is about $864, roughly 1.3 % of the price. To keep the dollar risk at $200, you’d size the position at $200 / 0.013 ≈ $15,400 — which exceeds your capital, so you’d either reduce the stake or tighten the stop. In practice you might buy $2,500 worth of
$BTC , giving you a $30 loss if the stop hits, well within the 2 % limit.
How do you currently size positions and place stops when the market is ranging?
