Since a number of esteemed followers requested further clarification regarding the method of setting a stop-loss on Binance, I wanted to share this post with a simplified and detailed explanation
✅ How to set a stop-loss (Stop-Limit) on Binance in easy steps
📌 A simple example:
You bought a coin at a price of $100, and you want to protect yourself from a large loss if the price drops.
You set a stop-loss at $90, meaning if the price reaches $90, you want the application to sell the coin automatically before the price drops further.
📲 How to set a stop-loss on the Binance app or website:
Open the Binance app or log in from your browser.
Go to the trading page (Trade), and select the pair in which you hold the coin (for example: XYZ/USDT).
Choose the "Sell" option.
From the order type (Order Type), select "Stop-Limit".
Now you will see 3 fields to fill:
Stop (the price that activates the sell order): for example, $90.00.
Limit (the price at which you want to sell): for example, $89.50 (a little lower than the Stop to ensure execution).
Amount (the quantity you want to sell): for example, 100% or a portion of it.
Press the "Sell" button to execute the order.
⚠️ Important notes to understand the difference:
Stop: the price that automatically activates the sell order when reached.
Limit: the price at which you actually want the sale to occur, and it is usually a little lower than Stop to ensure a quick sale.
🛡️ In summary:
If the coin's price drops and reaches $90, the system starts selling the coin at a price close to $89.50, which protects you from larger losses if the price continues to decline.
