Risk management!!
š 1. Enable Security Features
Before trading:
⢠Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication).
⢠Set anti-phishing code to verify real Binance emails.
⢠Use withdrawal whitelist if holding large funds.

š 2. Set a Risk Management Strategy
A. Position Sizing
⢠Never invest more than a small percentage (1ā5%) of your portfolio in a single trade.
⢠Calculate position size based on your stop-loss level and account equity.
B. Use Stop-Loss Orders
⢠Always set stop-losses to limit potential losses.
⢠For example: if BTC drops 5% from your entry, a stop-loss triggers and sells to preserve capital.
C. Take-Profit Targets
⢠Set take-profit levels to lock in gains.
⢠You can also use OCO (One-Cancels-the-Other) orders on Binance to set both stop-loss and take-profit simultaneously.

āļø 3. Diversify Your Portfolio
⢠Avoid putting all your funds in one asset.
⢠Hold a mix of high-cap, mid-cap, and stablecoins (like USDT, USDC) to balance risk.

š 4. Use Leverage with Caution (or Not at All)
⢠Binance Futures allows up to 125x leverage ā this is very risky.
⢠Beginners should avoid high leverage or start with 1ā2x max.
⢠Use isolated margin rather than cross-margin to limit risk to a single position.

š 5. Understand Liquidation Risk
⢠In futures or margin trading, if your collateral drops below the maintenance margin level, Binance will liquidate your position.
⢠Monitor margin ratio and use auto-deleverage (ADL) protection tools.

š§ 6. Keep Emotions in Check
⢠Donāt chase losses (revenge trading).
⢠Stick to your plan; donāt FOMO into pumps.
⢠Keep a trading journal to track what works.

š 7. Use Binance Tools for Risk Control
⢠Portfolio analytics: See your exposure across assets.
⢠Price alerts: Set alerts in the Binance app for volatility.
⢠Auto-invest: Use DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) to reduce the impact of volatility.
