Crypto can look easy when candles are expanding, but that is exactly when position size can become a problem. I prefer smaller risk and cleaner invalidation.

I am keeping this as a community note, not financial advice.

The loss was acceptable because the stop was planned. The mistake would have been moving it after the setup failed.

I am watching the same zone, but only after liquidity is taken.

Before major news I prefer reducing risk or staying flat. Slippage can turn a good-looking setup into a poor trade very quickly.

This is close to how I am reading the chart too.
