What is Long
A trade on a rise: buy now, sell higher later. Profit is the price difference; the loss comes if price drops to the stop.
How it works
BTC 15m long: entry above the MSS, stop below the sweep, target at the range high.
Example
Long from 62 960, target 63 850: 890 $ per BTC if price gets there.
Common mistake
Buying "because it already dropped": cheaper does not mean it goes up next.
