Playing with coins, how to remain undefeated?

1. Always keep your principal not fully invested. Even keeping 10% of your funds in cash, in extreme risk situations, you will be grateful for the discipline you adhered to. I usually keep 10-20% of my funds in cash, occasionally engaging in short-term altcoin trading, generally holding positions for less than 24 hours, quickly taking profits and exiting;

2. Contracts and spot trading must be separated, which serves as risk isolation. The spot portion should not use any leverage, and currency-to-currency leverage is also not allowed; just enjoy the profits from spot price increases. The contract portion can occupy 20-30% of the total funds, and in very certain trend markets, it should not exceed 50%. For the contract portion, use low leverage operations, anchoring to coin-based returns. Once stable profits are achieved in the contract market, the coin-based returns can also be quite substantial;

3. Avoid excessive diversification of funds. Concentrate your funds on a few relatively strong coins; do not spread too thin. Reduce the number of trading targets at the same time; for example, do not think about opening contracts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin simultaneously, as that is what experienced traders do, aiming for maximum returns. As retail investors, we primarily aim for returns, not maximization, and handling too many targets will only increase risk without enhancing profit. Therefore, it is best to concentrate efforts on improving the win rate, as this approach will easily generate profits, making it much faster than spreading funds across several targets.
