First lesson in crypto trading

If you’re new, forget profits for a moment.
Your main job in the beginning is simple — stay in the game.
The first 6–12 months aren’t about making money.
They’re about not losing everything.
That’s where most people fail.
They don’t run out of ideas.
They run out of capital.
Basic rule:
Risk only a small part of your capital per trade.
Example:
You have $1000
Risk per trade = 1% → $10
That’s your maximum loss per position.
From there:
Position size depends on your stop loss.
If your stop is tight → you can size bigger
If your stop is wide → size smaller
But the risk stays the same.
What this means in practice:
You don’t go “all in”
You don’t chase trades
You don’t try to win fast
You survive.
Because after you survive long enough,
you start to understand the market.
And that’s when progress actually begins.
No capital management → no future in trading.
Everything else comes second.
