3. $200 Trade Plan (Conservative, Range-Bound)
Because PI has low liquidity and wide spreads, avoid aggressive entries.
✅ Long Trade Setup (Buy near support)
· Entry zone: 0.17280 – 0.17300 (near lower band)
· Stop loss: 0.17200 (below 24h low)
· Take profit 1: 0.17450 (mid-range)
· Take profit 2: 0.17580 (near resistance)
💰 Position Sizing for $200
Recommended: Use only $100 per trade (50% of capital) due to low liquidity.
· Entry: 0.17290
· Stop: 0.17200 → risk = 0.00090 per PI
· Position size: $100 / 0.17290 ≈ 578 PI
· Total cost: 578 × 0.17290 ≈ $99.94
· Max loss: 578 × 0.00090 = $0.52 (very low risk!)
· Profit at TP1 (0.17450) = 578 × 0.00160 ≈ $0.92
· Risk/Reward: ~1:1.8 (good)
⚠️ Low dollar risk is good, but slippage may eat profits – use limit orders.
4. Alternative: Wait for Breakout (Safer)
PI is compressing – a breakout is likely.
If break above 0.17550 with volume:
· Entry: 0.17580 (on retest)
· Stop: 0.17400
· Target: 0.17900 – 0.18200
· Risk $5–10,reward $15–25
If break below 0.17200:
· Short entry: 0.17180
· Stop: 0.17350
· Target: 0.16950
· (Only if you can short PI)
