How to set stop loss and take profit to avoid losing deposit

Stop-loss and take profit are not just buttons in the terminal, but your lifeline in the market. Without them, you are playing roulette.

Golden rule: do not risk more than 1-2% of your deposit on a single trade. If you have $1000, one loss should not exceed $10-20.

How to calculate:

1. Identify reference points — support levels ( where the price stops and rises ) and resistance ( where it stops and falls ). The stop is placed beyond them, take profit — near them.

2. Use a 1:3 ratio — if you risk $5, aim for a profit of $15. This is the minimum for profitable trading.

3. In practice: entry 100 USDT, support at 95, resistance at 110 → stop at 95 (5 USDT risk ), take profit at 115 (15 USDT profit ).

Bonus: use the ATR indicator for volatility. Dynamic market = larger stops.

The main thing is to set the levels and forget about them until the target price. No emotions.
