How do you guys handle stop-loss placement for highly volatile instruments like $BTC?

I've been trying to refine my risk management, especially with crypto. Sometimes a standard ATR multiple feels too tight with the wicks, only to get stopped out right before a reversal. Other times, I give it more room and get hit harder on sustained moves. What's your practical approach for stop placement without just giving back all the profit?

I've found that for BTC, a dynamic stop based on volume profile clusters or significant order blocks can be more effective than a fixed ATR. It helps avoid being wicked out as often, but it does require more active management.

Ah, the crypto stop-loss dilemma. It's like trying to catch a greased pig in a hurricane; you either let it go or get dragged through the mud. My current strategy involves a lot of prayer and a slightly wider initial stop, then tightening up once there's some actual movement, which usually means I get stopped out anyway.
