  Sure! Setting a stop-loss on a long position is an important risk management strategy in trading. Here's how you can do it on BitMEX: 1. Log in to your BitMEX account and navigate to the trading interface. 2. Find the 'Stop Market' order type and select it. 3. Choose the trading pair and the 'Long' position you want to set the stop-loss for. 4. Enter the stop price at which you want to trigger the stop-loss order. 5. Specify the quantity of the position you want to protect. 6. Set the 'Trigger' to 'Last Price' if you want the stop-loss to be triggered based on the last traded price. 7. Review the order details and click on 'Place Order' to set the stop-loss. Remember to consider your risk tolerance and adjust the stop price accordingly. It's also a good practice to regularly monitor your positions and adjust the stop-loss if needed. Hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
