You're absolutely right — risk management is key. But here’s something a bit controversial:
Using stop-losses blindly often guarantees losses, especially in the crypto market.

Let’s be real — we’re here to make profits, not just survive. And Bitcoin is notorious for chopping sideways for weeks or months, aka the “death-by-a-thousand-cuts” phase. In such environments, tight stop-losses often lead to repeated losses that drain your account faster than you expect.

That’s why I believe the best protection is not always a stop-loss, but smart position sizing and money management.

Here’s what I do:

I only long BTC, never short it.

My first entry is always without leverage, because Bitcoin can dip 70–80% — and I want to stay in the game.

Once the trade goes in profit, I scale in using a pyramid:
Every additional position is backed by a breakeven stop-loss from the previous profitable one.
That way, the higher BTC goes, the higher my leverage, but my risk is zero.

This method lets me ride trends safely — while protecting capital like a pro.
