#数字资产市场动态 Many people follow the rule of "small stop-loss, large take-profit," which sounds perfect but is actually the easiest trap for beginners. $AT
You'll find a common curse: stop-loss orders are always triggered, while take-profit orders never get filled. $ZEC What's the result? Daily small losses in the account, and never the big gains expected. As you keep trading, your trading plan completely collapses. $KAITO
What is the root cause? It's very simple.
Setting stops too tight causes being forced out with slight market pullbacks; setting take-profit too far away makes the probability of ten orders being filled almost a joke. The volatility in the crypto market is inherently fierce, and this "narrow stop-loss" strategy is like sending market makers to their doom—main market funds are actually hunting these unreasonable stop-loss orders.
How to break the deadlock? The approach needs to change:
1. Stop-loss should be based on reasonable technical levels, and take-profit should be anchored to achievable price targets.
2. The success or failure of trading isn't about one-off huge profits, but about the overall risk-reward structure—long-term profitability depends on the risk-reward ratio of each trade.
3. To prevent being repeatedly swept out, don't expect one-time huge gains. Balance is the key.
In reality, it's about discipline and probability, not about the courage of a single bet.

That's so true. That's how I got wiped out. Why do stop-loss orders always get triggered at the lowest point? Small stop-losses and big take-profits sound great, but in reality, it's just handing the knives to the market manipulators.

Oh man, I was just saying, this set of theories sounds fine, but in practice, it's all blood, sweat, and tears. I'm the unlucky one who keeps getting stopped out repeatedly, just a little short of hitting the take-profit price...

the "small stops, big targets" narrative is basically a modern tragedy in five acts... watched too many people get liquidated while waiting for that one glorious candle that never comes. it's not about guts, it's about the math not mathing. the spreads are poetry, the stops are just feeding the whales.

Stop-loss orders being constantly wiped out is really unbelievable; it feels like every time you're stepping right on the main force's blade.
