Risk management for crypto learners

Position size and a stop you will actually honour matter more than finding a perfect entry.

Risk before entry

Choose the amount you can lose if the idea is wrong, then size the position from that number. Do not reverse the order: do not pick a large size and hope the stop “fits”.

Leverage makes small mistakes large

Futures and high leverage can close a position faster than you can think. If you are still learning structure, keep size small enough that one loss does not change your week.

A simple rule

If the stop has to sit so far away that the loss is uncomfortable, the trade is too large or the idea is not clear.
