Cultivate a peaceful and blessed life.📌 Now let's talk about My Trading Journey: From Following to Learning (and Some Psychological Quirks!)🌪️ 2020-2021 felt like a free ride. It was a bull market, and I blindly followed calls, making money despite (perhaps even because of) doing "wrong stuff." No real learning or dedication – just the rollercoaster of a booming market.🌪️ In 2021 to 2022, I woke up and started learning. The dedication wasn't consistent, but the knowledge began to accumulate. This was my foundation year, laying the groundwork for the future.🌪️ Finally, in 2023, it all clicked. Trading + Learning + Applying became my mantra. It hasn't been without its challenges, though. I've encountered some psychological hurdles that I'm not afraid to admit.💸 Stop-Loss Fear: When trades approach my stop-loss, I panic and move it further down the line, hoping for a miraculous turnaround. This is a recipe for disaster!😢 Early Exits: My trigger finger gets itchy before setups fully develop. I either close trades prematurely near the stop-loss (only to watch them soar past) or fail to wait for the full take-profit potential. Missing out on profits stings!🥴 Forced Trades: Sometimes, I see an opportunity where there isn't one. Instead of patiently waiting for the right setup, I force trades, setting myself up for disappointment.🙇 But hey, recognizing these issues is half the battle, right? 2023 was a year of learnings, not just in technicality but also in self-awareness. I'm ending it with valuable insights and a renewed focus for 2024 💸Earnings time, baby! 🧑💻🌪️ Good luck with your trading journey! Remember, success in the market is a marathon, not a sprint.

How to use stop loss: Let's assume BNB is trading at 500$ and you bought it, and you want to limit your potential loss to $100. Here's how you can set up a stop-loss order:
Open the Binance app or website and log in to your account.
Go to the "Spot" trading section.
Example:
Find any trading pair you bought (e.g., BNB/USDT).
Click on "Trade" and then select "Sell."
In the "Sell" section, choose "Stop-Limit."
Set the "Stop" price at $490. This is $10 less than your purchase price ($500 - $10 = $490).
Next, set the "Limit" price. For example, you can set it at $485.
Enter the amount of BNB you want to sell (ensure it's the amount you bought).
Review the details and click "Sell BNB."
Now, with these settings:
If the BNB price drops to $490, your stop-loss order will be triggered.
Once triggered, your BNB will be sold at the limit price you set ($485).
This way, you limit your potential loss to around $100 ($500 - $485).
Let me share with you an expanded version:
Here's how to use a stop-loss:
Choose a Pair: For example, if you're trading Bitcoin (BTC), you might pair it with USDT (Tether).
Entry Point: Decide when you want to enter the trade and at what price. For instance, you might want to buy BTC when its price is $50,000.
Set a Stop-Loss Price: Determine the price at which you are willing to sell your cryptocurrency to limit your losses. This price should be below your entry price. For example, if you bought BTC at $50,000, you might set a stop-loss at $49,000.
Choose the Order Type: In most exchanges, you can place a stop-loss order as a "Stop-Limit" or "Stop-Market" order.
Stop-Limit: You set a stop price (e.g., $49,000) and a limit price (e.g., $48,900). If the market reaches the stop price, your limit order becomes active to sell your cryptocurrency at the limit price or better. If the market doesn't reach your limit price, your order may not be executed.
Stop-Market: You set a stop price (e.g., $49,000). When the market reaches this price, your cryptocurrency will be sold at the prevailing market price. This type of order guarantees execution but may not guarantee a specific price.
Specify the Amount: Enter the amount of cryptocurrency you want to sell in the stop-loss order. Ensure it matches the amount you bought.
Review and Confirm: Double-check your order details, including the stop price, limit price (for stop-limit orders), and the amount. Confirm the order.

Thank you mate, Who ever Tipped ( I Just want from you guys to learn trading and play safe )

Proper risk management involves calculating the position size before entering a trade to ensure that if the stop loss is hit, you only lose a small percentage of your account balance, typically 1%. 🗿
For example, if your trading account is $10,000, and you are taking a long position, you should only lose $100 if the stop loss is hit. 😼
To calculate the position size, use a position size calculator provided by the exchange, enter your entry price and stop loss as an exit price, and adjust the quantity/size until you get 1% of your account balance as a loss. 🎧
This helps manage risk and avoid losing your entire account on a single trade. 🤓
