How to Manage Risk-Reward
✅ Diversification – Don't put everything in crypto; allocate only a % of the portfolio (5% to 20%, depending on the profile).
✅ Focus on Established Assets – Bitcoin and Ethereum have less risk than altcoins.
✅ Stop Loss and Take Profit – Set limits to protect gains and limit losses.
✅ Do Your Own Research (DYOR) – Understand the project before investing.
✅ Be Careful with Leverage – Margin trading can amplify gains, but also losses.
Conclusion
Cryptoassets offer one of the highest risk-reward ratios in the market:
High Risk: You can lose everything if you invest poorly.
Potentially Huge Reward: Exponential gains in bull markets.
Recommendation: Only invest what you are willing to lose and have a clear strategy (HODL, trading, staking, etc.). If you are conservative, prefer Bitcoin and Ethereum; if you are bold, do thorough research before entering altcoins.
The choice of the ideal risk-reward ratio (R/R) for investing in cryptoassets depends on your risk profile, strategy (trade vs. hold), and the type of asset (Bitcoin vs. altcoins). Here are some common approaches:
1. Classic Ratio for Traders (Day Trade/Swing Trade)
1:3 to 1:5 (For every 1% of risk, aim for 3% to 5% of gain).
Example: If you set a stop loss of -10%, your take profit should be +30% to +50%.
Recommended for:
Volatile coins (altcoins in bull market).
Momentum or breakout strategies.
1:2 (More conservative, common in Bitcoin and Ethereum).
Example: Stop loss -5%, take profit +10%.
2. Ratio for Long-Term Investors (HODL)
Here, the focus is not on a fixed ratio, but on fundamentals and time horizon.
Risk: Can reach -50% to -90% in bear markets (e.g., Bitcoin dropped 80% in 2018).
Potential reward: +500% to +10,000%+ in bull cycles (e.g., BTC increased 20x between 2020 and 2021).
Strategy:
Buy on strong dips (e.g., after drops of 50%+).
Partially sell at new ATHs (All-Time Highs).
