1. Why Stop Losses Matter

“A stop loss is the life insurance of trading.” Trading without one is like driving without a seat belt.

🚨 What Happens Without a Stop Loss

A −10% loss requires +11% to recover.
A −30% loss requires +43% to recover.
A −50% loss requires +100% to recover.
A −90% loss requires +900% to recover.

2. Ways to Set a Stop Loss

① Fixed-Percentage Stop

Place the stop 2–5% below the entry price. The simplest method.

② ATR-Based Stop

Use ATR, Average True Range, for a dynamic stop suited to market volatility. Set wider stops when volatility is high and tighter stops when it is low.

③ Support-Based Stop

Place the stop below a major support level, giving it a technical basis.

3. Trailing Stops

A trailing stop lets the stop level rise with price as the market moves in your favor. It protects gains while leaving room for further upside.

📊 Example

Long entry $68,000, trailing distance −2%.
Price reaches $70,000 → stop automatically rises to $68,600.
Price reaches $72,000 → stop rises to $70,560.
Price falls → automatic stop at $70,560, securing the gain.
