Essential Things to Know Before Trading Crypto
Risk Management
Never go all-in.Risk only 1–2% of your capital per trade.Always use a Stop Loss.Protect your capital first.
Spot vs Futures
Spot: You own the actual asset.Futures: You trade contracts and can use leverage.Beginners should master Spot before Futures.
Leverage
Higher leverage means higher risk.20x, 50x, or 100x leverage can liquidate your position quickly.Use leverage carefully.
Liquidity
Trade assets with sufficient liquidity.Low-liquidity coins can be difficult to sell and may experience large price swings.
Market Capitalization
Don't judge a coin by its price alone.Understand Market Cap, FDV, and Circulating Supply before investing.
Tokenomics
Check total supply, circulating supply, unlock schedules, and investor allocations.Large token unlocks can create selling pressure.
Market Cycles
Bull Market: most assets rise.Sideways Market: prices range.Bear Market: most assets fall.Adjust your strategy according to market conditions.
