Funds and Risk Control: Survival First

This is the foundation of trading, determining how long you can stay in the market.

Use only idle funds, strictly control position size

Idle funds principle: Only invest money that, if lost, will not affect your life. Absolutely no borrowing, mortgage, or using living expenses.

Position management: For beginners, single-asset positions should not exceed 5%-10% of total funds. Avoid "all-in" bets, to prevent total loss from a single misjudgment.

Stop-loss rule, cut losses early

Mechanical execution: Set stop-loss before opening a position. It is recommended to limit individual losses to 1%-2% of total funds.

Reject holding through losses: When the price hits the stop-loss level, exit immediately. Never add to losing positions to average down. Crypto markets are highly volatile; holding through losses can easily lead to liquidation or deep traps.

Use leverage cautiously, beginners should avoid

Contract (leverage) trading is the fastest way to lose money. With 10x leverage, a 10% adverse move can lead to liquidation.

If you must try, recommend leverage ≤ 5x, and keep the capital allocation very low. Most beginners get wiped out due to high leverage.

II. Practical Trading Strategies

Follow the trend, avoid "counter-trend heroism"

Core logic: Only trade in uptrends (moving averages in a bullish alignment), avoid bottom-fishing in downtrends. "The trend is your friend," don’t try to catch falling knives.

Signal references: Watch for support at 50-day/200-day moving averages, and MACD bullish/bearish cross confirmations.

Profit-taking techniques: Take profits in stages

Trailing stop: As the price rises, move the stop-loss upward (e.g., from below the cost basis to 90% of the profit point) to lock in gains.

Partial sell: After reaching target levels, sell in 2-3 batches to avoid missing the main rally and to mitigate pullback risks.

Asset selection: Prioritize mainstream coins

Liquidity is king: Focus on trading BTC (Bitcoin) and ETH (Ethereum). They have the best liquidity and are less likely to be manipulated by whales.

Beware of altcoins: Coins ranked outside the top 50 (MEME coins, air coins) are highly volatile, often traps for "zeroing out." Beginners should avoid them.

III. Mindset and Pitfall Avoidance

Counteract emotions: FOMO and FUD

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Chasing after rapid gains often leads to buying at the top. The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is capital.

FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt): Panic selling during dips usually results in buying at the bottom. Follow your plan, not your emotions.

Safety red line

Asset security: Store large assets in cold wallets (e.g., Ledger, Trezor). Keep only trading funds on exchanges. Never disclose private keys or seed phrases.

Beware of scams

Stay away from "signal providers" or "insider groups." Any promise of "capital protection and high returns" or "only rising, no falling" is 99% a scam or pyramid scheme.

IV. Beginner Simple Action Checklist

Start with demo trading: Practice on a simulated account for 1-2 months to familiarize yourself with candlesticks and technical indicators (RSI, MACD).

Make a plan: Before each trade, write down "buy reason, stop-loss level, take-profit level." Follow it strictly during trading, do not modify mid-trade.

Review and summarize: Weekly, review your trading records, analyze win rate and risk-reward ratio, and optimize your strategy.
