Risk analysis is essential for investing more consciously and protecting your capital — whether you are a beginner or experienced.

I will explain to you clearly and practically how to get started:

⸻

🛡️ What is risk analysis?

It is the process of identifying, measuring, and managing the potential losses of an investment. In the case of cryptocurrencies, the risk is much higher due to extreme volatility and lack of regulation.

⸻

📝 How to conduct a good risk analysis in cryptocurrencies

1️⃣ Understand your profile

• Conservative: Prefers to avoid large losses, even if it means smaller gains.

• Moderate: Accepts some risk but wants to limit losses.

• Aggressive: Accepts high volatility seeking large gains.

➡️ If you are a beginner, it is recommended to start with a conservative or moderate profile until you gain more experience.

⸻

2️⃣ Define how much you can lose (maximum risk per trade)

• A very common rule is to risk a maximum of 1-2% of your capital per trade.

Example:

➡️ If you have $1,000, do not risk more than $10 to $20 per trade.

➡️ This means adjusting your stop-loss to limit the loss on each trade.

⸻

3️⃣ Use Stop-Loss

The stop-loss is the automatic order that closes the position if the price reaches a certain loss level.

• Example: You buy at $BTC 30,000 and set the stop-loss at $BTC 28,500 (5% risk).

• If the price falls to $28,500, your position is automatically closed, limiting your loss.

⸻

4️⃣ Analyze Support and Resistance

• Use charts to identify support levels (where the price usually holds) and resistance levels (where it usually hits and reverses).

• This helps define where to enter and exit, and where to place your stop-loss.

⸻

5️⃣ Manage leverage

• Avoid using leverage (or use very low) if you are a beginner.

• Leverage increases both gains and losses, and for those without experience, it can result in very quick liquidations.

⸻

6️⃣ Diversify (do not put everything into one currency)

• Invest in different cryptocurrencies and, if possible, also in other assets (fixed income, stocks).

• This reduces the risk of losing everything in a single asset.

⸻

7️⃣ Evaluate the macro scenario and the news

• Stay alert to regulations, central bank decisions, and geopolitical events that can impact cryptos.

• Major announcements can cause sharp movements (up or down).

🧭 For those with a lot of money

🔹 Use hedge strategies (protect the portfolio, for example with stablecoins or futures).

🔹 Evaluate managing part of the capital in less volatile assets (such as bonds or fixed income).

🔹 Consider having secure custody (cold wallets or reliable custody services).

🔹 Consider professional consulting (finance or wealth management experts).
