#StopLossStrategies
When trading on Binance, especially via API or trading bots, stop-loss strategies are crucial for risk management. Here are common Stop Loss Strategies that traders use:
---
1. Basic Stop-Loss
How it works: A market or limit order is triggered when the price drops below a set level.
Example: Buy BTC at $60,000; set stop-loss at $58,000. If price hits $58,000, sell immediately.
---
2. Trailing Stop-Loss
How it works: The stop-loss price trails the market price by a fixed percentage or amount.
Example: Set a trailing stop 5% below current price. If BTC rises from $60,000 to $63,000, stop-loss moves to $59,850. If BTC drops to $59,850, sell triggers.

3. Percentage-Based Stop-Loss
How it works: You set the stop-loss at a specific percentage below your entry price.
Example: Enter at $100; set 10% stop-loss, so it sells at $90.
---
4. Volatility-Based Stop-Loss
How it works: Stop-loss is set using indicators like ATR (Average True Range) to adapt to market volatility.
Example: Entry at $100, ATR = $3 → Stop-loss = $100 - (2 × ATR) = $94.
---
5. Support Level Stop-Loss
How it works: Set stop-loss just below key support levels or technical indicators.
Example: If strong support is at $50, set stop-loss at $49.50.
---
6. Time-Based Stop-Loss
How it works: Exit the trade after a specific time if it hasn’t moved in your favor.
Example: Sell the asset if it hasn’t increased 1% in 1 hour.

On Binance:
You can set stop-limit or stop-market orders manually via the UI.
For automated bots, use the Binance API to create advanced stop strategies.
