🪜 Step-by-Step to Your First Real Trade (Without Overcomplicating)
⸻
✅ Step 1: Pick the Right Coin
Start with BTC/USDT or ETH/USDT
Why?
🔹 Stable
🔹 High volume
🔹 Less manipulation
Don’t jump into trending meme coins yet — they move too fast and can ruin confidence early.
—
✅ Step 2: Choose the Right Timeframe
Open the 1H chart
• It’s slow enough to understand
• But fast enough to give you a trade in 1–2 days
→ Avoid 1-min or 5-min if you’re new
—
✅ Step 3: Mark Key Zones
Look back and draw:
🔹 One resistance zone = recent swing high
🔹 One support zone = recent swing low
Tip: Use a rectangle, not a line. These zones are where price bounced or reversed.
—
✅ Step 4: Wait for Price to Come to Your Zone
Don’t enter randomly.
Example:
• Price approaches support zone
• Watch for a bullish signal (green engulfing candle)
• That’s your signal to prepare for a long trade
No signal = no trade ✅
—
✅ Step 5: Use a Small Position with Tight Risk
Risk only 1–2% of your account.
Set up:
• Entry: Just above the confirmation candle
• Stop-loss: Slightly below the zone
• Target: 1.5x or 2x your risk
Example:
You risk $10 → Aim to make $15–$20
—
✅ Step 6: Use a Limit Order and Monitor
On Binance:
• Click “Limit”
• Set your entry price
• Set your stop and TP
→ Walk away. Let it work.
This helps you avoid emotional exits.
