Hi all  Smiley

Do you think this is a good strategy:

I buy bitcoin by putting a stop limit at the same purchase price to lose nothing

Example: I buy 1 BTC at $ 5200 and simultaneously place a stop limit (loss) at $ 5200, if the price goes up then it's good for me but if it goes down then I would lose nothing

Thank you

Are you sure about that?

That's not a good idea for a fluctuating market. You might end paying more if the price sustains on that level.

Stop loss is not design for that. If you want to minimize your loss then you can set a lower limit in a few percentages.
