《Beginner’s Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls + Position Management: One Checklist to Outperform 90% of People》🔥
Two “Deadly Danger Zones”
Highly Leveraged Futures
· Over 95% of beginners lose their entire principal in a short time; essentially, it’s gambling.
· Wick spikes, slippage, and liquidation can wipe you out in an instant.
· Beginners should stay away from futures. If you do try them, use leverage of no more than 3x, and only risk spare money you can afford to lose completely.
“100x” Shitcoins
· 99% are scams: honeypot schemes, liquidity pulls, fake airdrops, and phishing links.
· Project teams pump the price and then dump; retail traders can’t get out faster than the whales.
· Avoid projects with anonymous teams, no audits, or unlocked liquidity. Don’t click unfamiliar links or approve unknown contracts.
II. Position Management: Your Lifeline
Principle | What to do
Never go all-in | Keep 20%–30% in stablecoins under normal conditions, so you have funds ready when prices plunge
Build your position in stages | Add to your position gradually in 3–5 batches to average down your cost
Limit losses on each trade | Keep each trade’s loss to no more than 2%–4% of your total principal. With 100,000 yuan in principal, stop and review if you lose more than 4,000 yuan on a single trade
Adjust for bull and bear markets | Hold 50%–70% in a bull market; no more than 30% in a bear market, favoring major coins or cash
Position sizing formula: Position size = Acceptable loss ÷ Stop-loss distance
III. Core Principles for Live Trading
· Mindset first: Trading is a battle against human nature; discipline matters more than predicting market moves.
· Risk management rules: Protecting your principal always comes first. Use position management and stop-losses to protect yourself.
· Think independently: Don’t blindly trust “gurus.” Build your own trading system and follow it rigorously.
IV. Commonly Overlooked Pitfalls
· Not honoring stop-losses: If you set one, stick to it. Moving your stop-loss is the same as not having one.
· Overtrading: Fees and emotional fatigue gradually eat away at your principal. Slow and steady wins the race.
· FOMO buying: Seeing others make money and jumping in often means being the last one holding the bag.
· Not keeping records or reviewing trades: Record the rationale, position size, stop-loss, and outcome of every trade to improve your system.
· Security habits: Enable 2FA on exchanges, keep large holdings in a cold wallet, and never expose your seed phrase to the internet.
Brother Heng’s one-line summary: At the beginner stage, not losing is winning. Survive first—then you can talk about weathering bull and bear markets.
