bStocks may lower the barrier to buying stocks, but the risk hasn’t gone away at all. The most common mistake beginners make is thinking only about how much profit they can earn, not about how much they could lose.

Today I’ll teach you how to set up 3 defense lines👇

━━ Defense Line ①: Position Sizing ━━

Rule of the iron: one bStock should not exceed 10-15% of your total position

Why?

Assume you have $1,000

→ Invest at most $100-150 in a single one

→ Even if this one drops 30%, your maximum loss is $30-45

→ For the whole account, the drawdown is only 3-4.5%—not enough to hurt your bones

Negative example:

Put all $1,000 into one bStock

→ If it drops 30%, you lose $300

→ Your mindset blows up, and you cut loss and exit

━━ Defense Line ②: Stop-Loss Discipline ━━

Before every buy, think first: “How much am I willing to lose at most?”

Method: fixed-percentage stop-loss

• Short-term (swing): stop-loss 3–5%

• Medium-term (event-driven): stop-loss 8–10%

• Long-term (HODL): stop-loss 15–20% or no stop-loss (but with conviction)

Example:

You buy AMDB at $515 and set a 5% stop-loss

→ Stop-loss price: $515 × 0.95 = $489.25

→ When it drops to $489.25, don’t hesitate—sell right away

→ Lose $25.75/share, but you keep the remaining principal

→ bStocks can be traded 24/7, so you can execute a stop-loss anytime

⚠️ Why don’t beginners set stop-losses?

“Wait for it to bounce back”—but some stocks may not recover for months

“Can’t bring myself to cut it”—but losing $100 to $50 only needs a 50% drop, and to get back from $50 to $100 requires a 100% rise

━━ Defense ③: Diversify the underlying assets ━━

Don’t bet all your money on one bStock.

Reasonable allocation:

• Tech stocks (AMDB/INTCB/NVDAB/TSLAB) → 40%

• ETF (EWYB) → 30%

• Other (SPCXB/MSTRB) → 20%

• Cash (USDT) → keep at least 10% as backup

Why diversify?

The ups and downs of different assets aren’t perfectly synchronized.

When AMD falls, Intel may rise;

When tech stocks fall, ETFs may hold steady.

→ Overall volatility is lower, your mindset is better, and you can hold on.

━━ A risk checklist (save screenshot) ━━

🟢 Low-risk move: small position + set stop-loss + limit orders + diversify holdings

🟡 Medium-risk move: moderate position + stop-loss + ride the waves by following events

🔴 High-risk move: heavy position + no stop-loss + chase with market orders + single underlying asset

━━ Key mindset ━━

bStocks are just tools; tools aren’t good or bad.

Whether you make money or lose money depends on how you use the tools.

Protecting principal = staying in the game = having a chance to make money.

If your principal is gone = the game is over.
