Binance is the worlds largest bitcoin and alt-coin exchange in the world by volum.

It has become the most popular crypto trading platform over the last couple of years and for a good reason:

IT HAS MADE A FORTUNE FOR THOSE WHO KNOW HOW TO USE IT

What happened to those who over leverage and dive into Binance without any idea of how it works? Unfortunatly they go  bankrupt. 

TRADING BALANCE

Why do we need to talk about a Trading Balance? Because you should NEVER put your entire portfolio in a trading account, no matter how "safe" it seems.

Let’s say I have a $20,000 crypto portfolio. I shouldn’t deposit more than 40% of this to my trading account. In case things go very bad and my account get blocked, banned or cleared out (you know what I mean).

This means that hypothetically my new margin balance is $8,000, which will be divided accordingly in different risk categories.

ALT-COIN HOLDING

In crypto you pretty much have 3 options:

1) Holding BTC (lowest risk)

2) Holding ETH and ALTS (medium risk)

3) Margin Trading ALTS (highest risk)

Of course, the higher the risk the higher reward potential, but this doesn't mean that in GreenCandles Signals we always buy alt-coins at their maximum leverage allowed... Holding alt-coins is the safest, most peace of mind way of taking our signals

MARGIN TRADING

You will notice that in most GreenCandles Signals , we provide a leverage option (that ranges from 2x to 10x). This means a coin can be leveraged, but it doesn't mean you should go balls to the walls and max it out, because as you know, you can get liquidated and loose everything with a small wick in the opposite direction (which happens pretty often)

For beginners we recommend not using more than 2-3x leverage on trades, and if possible, no leverage at all, as gains will be slower but will be much safer.

As a rule of thumb, lower leverage is used for longer term swing trades and higher leverage is used for short term scalps.

POSITION SIZE

So I have $8,000 in my trading account and I’m entering a trade that has just been announced. This trade should take no more than 20% of my total trading balance so I'll allocate $1,600 to this coin. I'll ladder buy orders all along my entry range and wait for them to get filled, if they don't it's because we  mooned and at least a couple of orders got filled, if we dip, price has averaged down and my entry price will be much lower than the original, giving me a higher profit potential for this trade. That's how GreenCandles Signals happens to catch every top and bottom out there.

**Entries should ALWAYS be laddered in case of a stop hunt becoming an order filler instead of a position killer.

ORDER PLACING

Most of GreenCandles Signals will have entry ranges well above or below our current prices. This is not because price has "gone out of you hands" and FOMOing into a mediocre position is your only solution... This is because our signals are meant to be "Place orders and wait to get them filled" This gives us the highest probability of catching a perfect entry and also makes signals valid for 12-24 hours after being published, so VIP members in every corner in the world can have access to them.

TAKING PROFIT

Trading is a business, it’s a long term game… not a casino. So a great strategy and discipline to execute it are essential in GreenCandles Signals.

Our trades TP levels are divided in 3 categories:

Short Term TPs: 1-6 days

Mid Term TPs: 1-4 weeks

Long Term TPs 4+ weeks

What should you do as TPs are reached?

- TP1-3: What to do?

Close 30% of your original position and place Stop Loss at entry. Congrats you have a profitable trade.

- TP4-6: What to do?

Close 20% more and move Stop Loss up to TP1

- TP7+: What to do?

Close 30% more, move Stop Loss to TP2 and let the remaining 20% ride.

**These are just reference numbers and trades may be managed as you wish.

It will happen. We are not perfect and sooner or later we will hit a Stop Loss. Don’t think we know everything and are always correct, because we aren’t.

DEALING WITH LOSSES

In GreenCandles Signals we are not perfect, and whoever tells you they're flawless is just trying to steal your money... Whenever a loss occurs, we feel like something breaks inside of us. Is it that we are not made for trading? Is it that we a complete losers? Is it that I should revenge trade on max leverage whatever I have left?

No, No and No.

Go out on a walk, take a fresh breathe of air or watch a movie on Netflix. Do whatever you need to do to clear your mind before going back to trading, because if you don’t trust us your emotions will eat your common sense away.

CONCLUSION

We are all here to learn and to become great traders. A great trader is not the one who makes $5,000 into $100,000 buying penny stock.  A great trader is the one who can consistently make profits over time, even with a couple of lessons on the way. A great trader is a GreenCandles Signals
