1. Binance trading types
Spot trading: You buy/sell crypto using your own funds. There is no leverage, so it is generally a lower-risk starting point than Futures. �

Futures: You can use leverage to control a larger position with less capital. This can multiply both profit and loss, and a position can be liquidated when margin becomes insufficient. �

Margin: You trade with borrowed funds, which also increases both potential returns and losses.
For a beginner, Spot is much safer to learn with than high-leverage Futures.
2. How to prevent large losses
A simple approach is the 1% risk rule. Binance itself gives this as an example of position-risk management: size the trade so that hitting your stop-loss costs only a small portion of your account. �
Binance Academy
For example, if your account is $100:
Maximum planned loss per trade: about $1
Don't risk the entire $100 on one trade.
Decide your stop-loss before entering.
Don't move the stop-loss farther away just because the trade is losing.
Binance supports Stop Loss orders that can automatically trigger when your chosen price is reached. �

3. If you've already lost money
Suppose:
$100 → $80
You have lost $20 (20%).
To get back from $80 to $100, you need a 25% gain, not 20%.
The safest recovery approach is:
Stop → analyze the loss → reduce position size → trade only high-quality setups → recover gradually.
Don't use 20x/50x/100x leverage to recover quickly. Higher leverage makes liquidation much easier. �

4. A simple beginner strategy
If you want to learn properly, I would suggest:
Spot + BTC/ETH → small position → stop-loss → take-profit → 1% maximum account risk per trade.
Example:
Account = $100
Trade size = $20
Maximum acceptable loss = $1
Target profit = $2
That gives approximately a 1:2 risk/reward setup.
