Binance has very many way you can trade with Cryptocurrencies in Kenya, but without the knowledge you can lose all you profit or even make more loses on it.

Let’s say I have T Shirts i bought at Ksh1,000; but the value of this T shirts keeps going up and down. The current value of the T shirts is say Ksh1,500; but you are willing to sell them at nothing less than kSH1,300.

Let’s take an example; You bought bitcoins in Kenya valued at Ksh5,000; the current values has risen to Ksh6,500. So, since you’ve made a profit of Ksh1,500 on top of your spending, you feel you should safeguard this profits. Let’s you are willing to sell them at Ksh6,400 and nothing lower than that. All you have to do is put a limit order to automatically SELL the coins if the price falls to Ksh6,400.

Now you have Ksh6,400 cash that is ready to be spent. The same technique applies, you place a LIMIT ORDER to BUY at a price you feel comfortable which obviously should be lower that the current market price.
