Translation: crypto often needs wider zones, more confirmation, and smaller size.
Reality check: no market guarantees profits. Adaptation is how you avoid getting chopped up.

Why crypto often wicks more
- 24/7 trading spreads liquidity across time.
- Leverage and liquidation cascades amplify moves.
- News sensitivity and thin periods create sudden wicks.
How to adapt levels
- Use zones, not thin lines.
- Prefer higher timeframe levels (they survive noise).
- Wait for close confirmation (break + close) more often.
How to adapt stops and sizing
- Stops often need more room in crypto → compensate with smaller size.
- Size from risk, not from “how confident I feel.”
