Real Trading Scenarios
🧪 Trade Scenario: Long SUI at $2.25
Let’s walk through a practical example using perpetual futures and proper risk management.
📊 Trade Setup
• Asset: SUI
• Current Price: $2.25
• Trade Direction: Long (expecting price to rise)
• Account Capital: $2,000
• Risk Per Trade: 2% = $40
• Leverage Used: 5x
🛠️ Trade Details
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.
