1) Defense with Stablecoin – always have ammo, not afraid of storms

Objective: Preserve capital + have cash to 'scoop' when prices are low.

How to apply

  • Suggested allocation: 30-60% of the portfolio into USDT/USDC (depending on risk tolerance).

  • Buy the dip strategy:

    • Divide stablecoin capital into 3-5 equal parts.

    • Every time the price drops by5-8% compared to the observation point → deploy 1 part.

    Set up buying zones in advance (plan > emotion): identify 2-3 strong support zones (D/4H frame) to avoid FOMO.

Quick example

  • Capital $2,000: hold $1,000 in stablecoin. ETH is at $3,900.

  • Place 3 limit orders: $3,700 – $3,500 – $3,300. Each order $333.

  • If the price doesn't return: you are still safe. If it does: automatically 'accumulate' gradually at a discount.

Checklist

  • Have at least 3 predetermined buy levels

  • Do not all-in at once

  • Clearly record % of remaining capital after each match

Common mistakes

  • Hold 100% coin (out of ammo when prices drop sharply).

  • Averaging up due to FOMO, no plan for 'steps'.

2) Disciplined Futures trading – only when there is a clear signal & always have stop loss.

Objective: Take advantage of short-term waves, limit absolute risk.

4 golden rules

  1. Risk per order ≤ 1-2% of total capital (spot + futures).

  2. Small leverage (x2–x5), only increase when experienced and clear scenario.

  3. Stop-loss according to price structure or ATR (do not set 'randomly').

  4. Risk/Reward (RR) ratio minimum 1:2. Not met → discard.

How to calculate order volume (very easy)

  • Capital $1,000, risk 1%/order ⇒ $10 is the maximum amount allowed to lose.

  • Plan to Long ETH at $3,600, SL $3,540 (risk $60 per ETH).

  • Volume = Risk money / Risk per unit = 10 / 60 ≈ 0.1667 ETH.

    Using leverage x5 ⇒ margin ~0.0333 ETH worth ~ $120.

Set TP according to RR

  • If RR 1:2 ⇒ expected profit = $20 (minimum).

  • Flexible: take 50% at RR=1:1, move SL to breakeven, let the remaining run.

Entry & exit – easy to apply suggestions

  • Entry: break + close above resistance/trend line, with increasing volume.

  • SL: below the nearest bottom (long) / above the nearest top (short) or 1-1.5 ATR.

  • Exit: TP according to RR or when RSI/MACD diverges against the trend.

Common mistakes

  • Opening orders based on 'feel'.

  • Move SL further away when order is losing.

  • Using high leverage in a sideways (range) area → getting swept continuously.

3) Staking & Earn – let your money work while you… do nothing

Objective: Passive income, reduce pressure of 'swing trading every day'.

When to use

  • You hold coins for medium/long term.

  • Market is not clear in trend, do not want to trade too much.

How to choose products

  • Prioritize Flexible (flexible withdrawal) if trading often; Locked (locked) when truly holding.

  • Choose foundational or blue-chip coins (BTC/ETH/BNB/... or stable).

  • Check net APY & reward conditions.

Optimal combo (e.g., portfolio $1,000)

  • 40% Stablecoin (waiting for opportunity)

  • 30% Spot (preset DCA levels)

  • 20% Staking/Earn (coins you trust)

  • 10% Futures (high probability scenario)

Common mistakes

  • Lock all coins and then want to... trade.

  • Chasing high APY but risky tokens, poor liquidity.

Comprehensive strategy based on market context

Market is up (clear uptrend):

  • Increase the proportion of spot + DCA (reduce stablecoin to 30-40%).

  • Futures: prioritize pullback-buy (buy when price returns to MA/zone).

  • Earn: use Flexible to be flexible.

Market is sideways (range):

  • Spot: buy at the bottom edge, sell at the top edge (clear zones).

  • Futures: avoid x; if trading, keep SL tight, short target.

  • Increase the proportion of stablecoin & Earn.

Market decline (downtrend):

  • Hold 50-70% stablecoin.

  • Do not catch the bottom with futures.

  • DCA spot very slowly at weekly/monthly support; prioritize Earn/stable.

5 survival principles (read repeatedly)

  1. Always have cash (stablecoin).

  2. Risk per order ≤ 1-2%.

  3. SL must be part of the plan, not emotion.

  4. Minimum RR 1:2.

  5. Keep a trading journal (reasons for entry/exit, emotions, results).

Example execution in a week (template)

  • Monday: Plan - mark support/resistance zones, write scenarios A/B.

  • Tuesday-Thursday: No FOMO. Only enter futures when there is a break + volume.

  • Friday: If the trend is unclear, increase Earn; place spot orders waiting at support.

  • Friday: Take profit on part of the profit, move SL; summarize actual RR.

  • Weekend: Review journal, adjust allocation ratios.

Summary for busy people

  • Stablecoins help you always be ready to buy cheap.

  • Disciplined Futures turn volatility into an advantage (but must have SL & RR).

  • Staking/Earn turns free time into passive income.

  • Combine these 3 pieces, you both stay safe and have growth opportunities in all market conditions.
