Why your stop keeps getting hit

Most traders choose a stop loss by guesswork. They pick a round number like 2% or 5% without considering how that market actually moves. If the coin regularly swings 4% or more in a day, a normal move can hit your stop before the trade has time to play out.

This tool reads the last 14 days of price action and tells you, in dollars, where a sensible stop actually lives for this coin right now. Then it hands the number to the Trade Plan Checker so you can build the rest of the trade around it.

Step 1. Pick the asset

Choose the exchange and asset you want to trade. This tool looks at the last 30 days of prices and uses the most recent 14 days to work out how much the asset has typically been moving each day.

Exchange

Choose where you are planning to trade. Binance and Hyperliquid are both available.

Asset

Choose the crypto asset you are planning to trade. For gold and stock perps, use our Stock and Gold Perps Board.

Direction

A long expects the price to rise, a short expects it to fall. Direction decides which side of your entry the stop sits on.

Step 2. How tight or wide?

You will see three stop loss options based on how much this coin has been moving recently. A tighter stop gives you more room to use a larger position size, but it is more likely to get hit by normal market moves.A wider stop is the opposite. It gets hit less often, but you will need a smaller position size and you will risk more if the trade goes against you.

Step 3. Choose your entry price

We use the current market price by default. If you are planning to enter at a different price, add it below and this tool will calculate your stop loss levels from there.

Planned entry price (optional)

Leave this at 0 to use the current market price. Enter another price if you are planning to enter later.

What is ATR?

ATR stands for Average True Range. It measures how much an asset has typically moved over a set period. This tool uses the last 14 days to help show what a normal daily move has looked like recently.

We use that number to calculate the three stop loss levels above. When the market has been moving more, the levels sit further away from your entry. When it has been calmer, they sit closer. This gives you stop loss levels based on recent price movement rather than an arbitrary percentage.

How this tool works

How to use these levels

01
Compare the three stop distances.
Each level is based on how much the asset has been moving over the last 14 days. Tight sits closest to your entry, Standard gives the trade more room, and Wide sits farthest away. These are reference levels to help you compare your options, not recommended stop prices.
02
Check how often each level was actually reached.
The number beside each option is counted, not estimated. For every session in the last year, an entry at that session's opening price with the stop that far away, and the real highs and lows say whether it was reached. A tighter stop was reached more often. A wider one gives the trade more room and was reached less.
03
Match your position size to your stop.
If you use a wider stop, you will generally need a smaller position to keep the same amount of money at risk. A tighter stop allows a larger position for the same risk.

Price data from Binance and Hyperliquid. A 14 day ATR for the distances, a year of sessions for the counts. Educational only.

How the calculation works

01We calculate the True Range for each day. We use the largest of three measurements: the day's high minus its low, the high minus the previous day's close, or the previous day's close minus the low.
02We then calculate the 14 day ATR. ATR is the average True Range over the most recent 14 days. The three reference levels sit 1x, 1.5x and 2x ATR away from the entry price.
03We count how often each distance was reached. For each of the last year's sessions, an entry at that session's opening price with the stop a set multiple of the ATR known that day away, and the session's real low or high says whether it got there.
