For the last few weeks; price of bitcoin is on an rise again. It is almost near to touch $10k. Festival mood appears in the market. Everybody is happy: celebrating mood.
Uh, oh. Sounds look people are getting too bullish.
In my opinion; good strategy to invest is that the investor while investing shall have one stop loss limit in his mind. It means suppose one person buys one btc @ 10k but unfortunately the reverse trend appears; at that time without allowing the loss to increase with the continuous fall in the market; suppose i fix one limit to sell back @9k in case the downfall starts. So I will suffer loss of 1 k what ever may be the downfall i.e. suppose the markets falls around 6k I will be saved from further losses.
Your general idea is correct. If you are going to invest (and especially trade), you need to employ stop losses. But your SL should be based on a significant price level on the chart. If that level breaks, the setup fails and you cut off the losses.
If you just set a stop loss $1,000 below your entry every time, you could have your stop run before the market continues higher. For example, the 1-day 20MA and the mode of the last consolidation is ~ $9,000. I might want to see that level fail and price hold below before locking in losses.
