I used to get "rekt" constantly onย
$SOL . I would buy at $105, set my stop-loss at exactlyย $100.00, and go to sleep. Iโd wake up to see the price hitย $99.90, kick me out of the trade, and then rocket toย $150.
I was right about the direction, but I lost money. Why? Because I fell into theย Round Number Trap.
Here is why using numbers like $100, $50, or $0.10 is the biggest mistake inย Crypto Trading 2026.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAP
Humans love clean, round numbers. It feels organized. It feels "safe" to put a stop atย $2000ย onย
$ETH .
But the market is not safe. Market Makers and Algorithms know exactly where retail traders place their stops. When thousands of people put a stop atย $100, it creates a massiveย Liquidity Pool.
The priceย willย dip to $99.95 just to grab that liquidity (your money) before reversing up. This is calledย Stop Hunting.
THE "UGLY NUMBER" STRATEGY
Here is myย Secret Sauceย for surviving volatility. To beat the bots, you have to be weird. You need to use "Ugly Numbers."
Never set a stop at .00 or .50.
If the support is $100, Market Makers will push it to $99.80. So, you must place your stopย below the hunt zone.
Example:
โย Bad Stop:ย $100.00โ
ย Good Stop:ย $98.43
YOUR ACTION PLAN ๐
Next time you open a trade onย Binance Futures, follow this checklist:
Identify the keyย Support Levelย (e.g., $50).Subtractย 1% - 2%ย as a "breathing room" buffer.Use aย random decimalย ending (like .27 or .84).Ask yourself:ย "Is this stop obvious?" If yes, move it.
Trading is not about being right. Itโs about staying in the game.ย Stop being liquidity for whales. Use ugly numbers and protect your bags.
