Unpacking the Trade Format in ‘Trades’ Channel
Lbet’s break down the standard format:
- Pair: Specifies the liquidity pool’s pair. For instance, WETH and UNIBOT. Here, UNIBOT is the asset being acquired. Curious about liquidity pools? Seek clarity in our dedicated Help channels.
- Trade Direction (LONG/SHORT): A ‘LONG’ trade suggests placing the trade in anticipation of the asset’s value increase, while ‘SHORT’ signifies the opposite.
- Entry Price: Indicates the price at which the asset was purchased.
- Portfolio Risk: An essential metric representing the percentage of the digital asset portfolio allocated for a particular trade, often 1%. For instance, with a portfolio worth $10,000, 1% would be $100.
- Chart Link: Provides a visual representation of the token’s trends and relevant acquisition information.
- Contract Address: Refers to the Ethereum address linked to the token’s smart contract. NB, when projects are based on Arbitrium, Base, zkSync, or CEX (typically PERPS), this will be highlighted.
- Slippage: Indicates the set slippage percentage for token purchase, often accounting for fees imposed by the project during transactions.
- Profit Targets: While they offer a guide for anticipated profit points, they might not be strictly adhered to.
- Stop Loss Level: Signifies the predetermined selling point based on risk tolerance. It’s an indicator, and sometimes the strategy might change based on real-time developments. NB, risk to 0/zero signifies a small, risky investment that does not include a Stop Loss level on entry.
- Trade Rationale: Offers insights into the decision-making process for a particular trade, shedding light on factors like market cap, past performance, and notable stakeholders.
- Project Website Link: Directs to the official website of the token or project in focus.
