**Post Title:** Why Are My Earnings in Red? Understanding SOL/USDT Losses
**Post Content:**
Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve noticed my SOL/USDT trades are showing **red numbers** (losses) despite the pair being up **+4.64%** today. Here’s what might be going wrong—and how to fix it:
### **1. Avg. Cost vs. Current Price**
- My **average buy price** is **Rs45,193.08**, but the **last price** is **160.47 USDT (~Rs45,360.12)**.
- Even though SOL is green today, my entry might be at a higher price (e.g., buying near the **24h high of 163.64**).
### **2. Holdings Breakdown**
My holdings include buys at:
- **160.34 to 160.28** (minor losses if price dipped below these levels).
- A tiny position at **0.01 SOL** (likely a leftover from partial sells).
### **3. Fees & Slippage**
- **Estimated fees** and **slippage** (from thin order book liquidity) could eat into profits.
- Check if you’re using **market orders** during low-volume periods.
### **How to Fix It:**
✅ **Lower your average cost** by buying dips (use support levels like **EMA25: 159.39**).
✅ **Set stop-losses** to prevent small losses from piling up.
✅ **Review past trades**—were you chasing pumps or buying high?
Red numbers sting, but they’re a lesson! Always track your **entry points** and **pair metrics** separately.
