Let's talk about "How to set a stop loss"

It's rare to see newcomers truly take risk management seriously, but traders with a few years of experience will tell you that risk control is the top priority in trading.

The reason is simple: everyone has been severely hit by a wave and taken a loss, possibly more than once.

In this market, you can't guarantee that every trade will be correct. Without a stop loss, just one mistake can wipe out all your previous gains. If your on-chain holdings go to zero, they go to zero, but if your contract doesn't have a stop loss, you'll really be risking your life.

Setting a stop loss is essentially about developing a habit. Here's a tip for beginners: if you're unsure how to set a stop loss, try setting it at the same ratio as your take profit. Develop this habit first. For example, if the current price of a coin is $1, and you're long with a take profit at $1.2, then set a stop loss at $0.8. Once you've set the stop loss target, never adjust it again.

Once this habit is formed and you find your hit rate is decent, start to incorporate support and resistance levels into your stop loss strategy. For example, if a long position breaks below a support zone, you should exit; if a short position breaks above a previous high, you should exit. Gradually, improve the risk-reward ratio of each trade.
