1. Low leverage (maximum x2 to x3)
Never use high leverage as this dramatically increases the risk of loss.
Recommended: 1.5x to 3x leverage for controlled position size.
High leverage often leads to liquidations – avoid it!
2. Trend following strategy with moving averages
Use EMA (Exponential Moving Average) with two time periods:
✅ EMA 50 (short-term trend)
✅ EMA 200 (long-term trend)
Long signal: When EMA 50 rises above EMA 200 (Golden Cross).
Short signal: When EMA 50 falls below EMA 200 (Death Cross).
Entry occurs after a retest of the EMA for confirmation.
3. Strong risk control with stop-loss
Always set a stop-loss (SL)!
Recommended: 2-3% risk per trade of total capital.
Stop-loss below (long) or above (short) the last support/resistance level.
👉 Example:
If you buy BTC at $40,000, set the stop-loss at $39,200 (2% loss).
This way you protect your capital and avoid large drawdowns.
4. Set take-profit in stages
Secure partial profits:
TP1 at +3%
TP2 at +6%
TP3 at +10% (if significantly in profit, secure the rest with a trailing stop)
5. No 24/7 trading – only trade in strong trend phases
Avoid sideways markets (low volatility = high false signals).
Use the RSI indicator:
RSI < 30 → Oversold (possible long entry).
RSI > 70 → Overbought (possible short entry).
6. Never go all-in & split capital
Use a maximum of 5-10% of your total capital per trade.
This way you can take multiple opportunities without taking too much risk.
Additional safety measures
✅ No emotional trading – stick to your system!
✅ No news trades – high volatility can lead to unexpected liquidations.
✅ Use a trailing stop to secure profits.
👉 Conclusion:
This strategy is not completely risk-free, but it minimizes losses and protects your capital as best as possible. In the long run, you can achieve steady, small profits instead of taking high risks.
