📊 Trade Setup

Value

Entry Price

$2.25

Target Price

$2.55

Stop-Loss Price

$2.17

Price Risk

$0.08 per coin

Position Size

$40 ÷ $0.08 = 500 SUI

Notional Value

500 × $2.25 = $1,125

Leverage Applied

5x → Only $225 margin needed

📈 Risk/Reward Breakdown

• Risk: $0.08 downside × 500 SUI = $40

• Reward: $0.30 upside × 500 SUI = $150

• Risk/Reward Ratio: 1 : 3.75

📌 This is a high-conviction trade with a clearly defined stop-loss and a favorable R:R ratio.


✅ Trade Logic

• You’re risking 2% of your capital to potentially gain 7.5%.

• With 5x leverage, you’re maximizing efficiency without being overexposed.

• If SUI drops to $2.17, the trade is auto-stopped to prevent larger losses.

• If it hits $2.55, you secure a strong profit.


🔒 Risk Management in Action

Even if you take 5 trades like this and only win 2 out of 5:

• Losses: 3 × $40 = $120

• Wins: 2 × $150 = $300

• Net Profit: $180

💡 The math works in your favor when risk is controlled and reward is maximized.
