Day trading means buying and selling cryptocurrencies within the same day sometimes within minutes or hours to take advantage of short-term price movements.

Unlike HODLing or long-term investing, day trading focuses on:

  • Quick entries & exits

  • Short-term volatility

  • Technical indicators over fundamentals

  • High risk, high reward scenarios

    Risk Management Rules for Day Traders (Never Skip These)


    āœ… Set a Daily Loss Limit


    Once you lose your daily limit ā€” walk away. Donā€™t chase losses.


    āœ… Use Stop-Loss Orders on Every Trade


    Stop-loss = your life jacket. No trade should risk more than 1ā€“2% of your portfolio.


    āœ… Avoid Over-Leveraging


    Leverage kills more traders than wrong predictions. Start with 1x to 3x leverage only.


    āœ… Keep an Emotional Journal

    Document your trades and your mindset. Emotional trading leads to disaster.


    āœ… Only Risk What You Can Afford to Lose

    This isnā€™t a 9ā€“5 paycheck. Itā€™s real money in a volatile market
