Placing a stop-loss order in Binance Futures trading is a way to manage your risk by automatically closing your position if the market moves against you. Here's how you can set a stop-loss order on Binance Futures:
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Log in to Your Binance Account:
- Open Binance and log in to your account.
- Navigate to the "Futures" section by selecting "Derivatives" and then "USDā-M Futures" or "COIN-M Futures," depending on the type of futures contract you're trading.
2. Choose the Trading Pair:
- Select the futures trading pair you want to trade (e.g., BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT).
3. Set Up the Stop-Loss Order:
- First, make sure you've already opened a position (Long or Short).
- Locate the order entry panel on the right side of the screen.
4. Select the Order Type:
- Choose the order type as either "Stop Market" or "Stop Limit."
- Stop Market: This order triggers a market order once the stop price is reached.
- Stop Limit: This order triggers a limit order once the stop price is reached, but the order will only execute at the limit price or better.
5. Enter the Stop Price and Limit Price:
- Stop Price: The price at which you want the stop-loss to be triggered.
- Limit Price (for Stop Limit orders only): The price at which your limit order will be placed once the stop price is triggered.
- Quantity: The amount of the asset you want to sell or close out.
6. Set the Quantity:
- Specify the quantity of your position that you want to protect with the stop-loss order.
7. Confirm and Place the Order:
- After entering all the necessary details, click on "Sell/Short" or "Buy/Long" to place the order.
- You might be asked to confirm the details. Double-check them and confirm.
8. Monitor Your Order:
- After placing the order, it will appear under the "Open Orders" section. You can modify or cancel the stop-loss order from there if needed.
Example:
- You are in a Long position on BTCUSDT:
- Entry Price: $30,000
- You want to set a stop-loss at $28,000.
- You would select "Stop Market" as the order type, set the stop price to $28,000, and the quantity to the amount of BTC you want to protect.
Notes:
- Make sure you consider slippage, especially during high volatility.
- Using "Stop Market" orders might ensure faster execution but with the risk of slippage.
- "Stop Limit" orders offer more control over the execution price but may not execute if the market moves too quickly.
By setting a stop-loss, you help protect your capital from unexpected market movements, which is crucial for effective risk management in futures trading.
