GUIDELINES FOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT FOR CRYPTO TRADERS (Futures)
✅ GUIDELINES FOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT FOR CRYPTO TRADERS (Futures) — For those who are serious about this market —
1. For those with small capital (100$ – 500$): If you are new to trading and want to practice your mindset & capital management: ➤ Use low volume 5–10% of total capital / 1 order. Trading 1–2 orders is maximum, with each order at least 5% – 10% apart in price. ➤ Choose moderate leverage (x10–x20), avoid x200 or x500 when starting.
This way of allocating capital is what I'm currently doing, and I want to share it with anyone who is still figuring it out.
60% HOLD – this portion is for BTC, ETH, or strong foundational coins. Buy and hold long-term, no need to check the charts every day. If the price fluctuates, don't worry, as long as the larger trend remains. Don't sell just because you see a few percent in profit and then regret it during the entire uptrend.
30% TRADE – day trading, swing trading, earning extra while waiting. You must have a clear plan, don't enter trades based on emotions. Trading correctly can quickly increase your capital, but making mistakes can quickly deplete your account.
10% RISK – new coins, low-cap, IDO... This can either x10 or lose everything, so be prepared beforehand. Only use money you are ready to lose.
It’s not just about buying and holding on forever; that’s not how to effectively "hold profits". Holding profits effectively means you possess assets of true value and have a reasonable exit strategy. Here are a few important principles:
🔸 1. Analyze carefully before deciding to hold long-term Do you know why you entered the trade? Is the project truly good? Is there strong growth momentum? Are the capitalization, cash flow, and news supportive? If the answer is “yes”, then don’t rush to exit when you’ve just made a little profit.
🔸 2. Take partial profits – don’t be greedy, and don’t rush Don’t hold on forever hoping for an absolute peak. Take partial profits: 30% at the first target level, 30% at the next wave peak, and the remainder to run long if the trend is still strong. This way helps you preserve profits while maintaining a position to benefit if the market surges.
🔸 3. Move Stoploss according to the trend – gradually lock in profits When a coin has surged significantly, move the stop-loss point up to the profit zone (trailing stop). Even if the price reverses, you still exit with a profit. Big profits are not for the impatient.
One of the secrets of successful investors in crypto is: patiently sitting still while profits are rising, and not breaking a good position just because of temporary emotions.
Holding profits is an art, and artists are always calm. If you’ve chosen the right asset and the right trend – then don’t let impatience ruin a big win.
Maintain discipline, take profits wisely, and let the market do the rest.
You are no longer ahead. The easy phase is over. $BTC has 5x $XRP has 4x Everything is soaring despite it all. Everyone thinks they are a genius. But that was the story of the previous cycle. Now is the survival phase. A phase where the market no longer rewards luck or noise. There are only rewards for accuracy, discipline, and a strong mind. Welcome to the parabolic phase of the Alt season — where everyone thinks they are right, until their account hits 0. You will see people boasting of 10x, 20x. But you will also see them… lose everything after just a few candles. Why? They have no plan. No system. No exit strategy. And most importantly: no control over their emotions. From now on, it is no longer about who is luckier. But rather: who controls themselves better. The market now does not challenge your IQ. But tests your psychology, patience, and decision-making ability under pressure. When the entire market is crazy, you must stay alert. When everyone is excited, you need to be cautious. When people chase FOMO, you must be the one to check your own logic. Do it right, you survive and break through. Do it wrong, all efforts from the start of the season will return to zero. This is not a phase for the faint-hearted. This is the time for those who know what they are doing.

8 fatal mistakes that make new investors prone to burning out their accounts
The financial market, especially crypto, is where opportunity and risk go hand in hand. Anyone can win a few initial trades thanks to luck, but to survive and develop sustainably, one must have knowledge, the right mindset, and high discipline. Below are the 8 most common mistakes that new investors often encounter – which is also the fastest way to losses: 1. Relying on luck, random chance to start
Slow But Fast – Lessons from Years of Ups and Downs
In the financial market, everyone wants to be fast - to quickly earn profits, quickly double their assets, quickly become a 'shark'. But the truth is, that 'fast' often leads to a loss even faster. I have seen too many people rush into waves, trying to catch the bottom - the peak like a gamble, and in the end, they are left with exhaustion and empty pockets. This market does not reward the impatient; it only rewards those who know how to go slow but steady. Slow does not mean standing still, but taking firm steps, with each decision considered with patience and discipline. When you are slow enough to understand the market, you will see opportunities 'fast' come to you naturally - that is when you are ripe.
In the tight SL placement SW market, do not hold orders for too long: The sideways range is narrow ... if the price goes against by 1-2%, the probability of reversal is high, so the SL should be short but decisive. If hit SL 2-3 consecutive orders, it is best to stop, observe further rather than trying to recover.
🚨 BTC Analysis 23/07 – Perspective of Future Smart Trader 🚨 BTC is still maintaining a long-term upward structure, the weekly frame is still stable, sitting above the EMA and MA200 – the uptrend has not broken. However, the weekly RSI has started to become overbought, indicating a possibility of a correction or light sideways movement to rebalance the force. On the 4H chart, BTC is hovering around $118.5K, direction is still unclear. The most recent red candle rejected the breakout of the upper Bollinger band, and the volume is low → indicating that the market might be lightly distributing. The 4H MACD also shows signs of a downward crossover, and the histogram has turned red. The RSI is neutral around 50, lacking strong momentum to push up right now. ⛳️ In the short term, there could be a retest of the $117K – $116.5K area. If this area holds and a reversal signal appears such as a pin bar candle, double bottom pattern… then you can re-enter/long lightly, with tight stop-loss to manage capital. However, if it breaks below $116K strongly, the next strong support area is $112K – $110K. Currently fully long: it’s advisable to take some profit off 50% - 80% at $118.5K, if it comes back to $117K and holds, then re-enter. For shorts, it’s not time to short early. Only short when BTC reaches $120K+ and gets a strong rejection, RSI > 75, and a clear reversal candle appears. BTC is following the rule... rise, rest, then continue. The important thing is to preserve capital and maintain a steady mindset. There are still many opportunities, avoid FOMO or catching the bottom when signals are unclear. The best trader is the most patient one. You don't need to win every trade – just win the clear ones. Wishing everyone keeps their form and controls their emotions well! I will update as soon as there’s something new! Tonight, let's take a break. Wishing everyone a peaceful and happy evening with family. 🥰🥰

Crypto is not for the faint-hearted, Understanding FOMO and FUD will help you stay calm.
FOMO is the feeling of 'fear of missing out', seeing some coin skyrocketing, the community cheering, everyone flaunting their profits... so I jump in because I'm afraid of missing the boat. But the problem is that when I enter, it’s usually at the peak. After buying, it turns around, and I can only sit there regretting. FUD is the opposite, it’s when the market is in chaos, bad news piling up, prices plummeting... I start to panic, doubt, then fear losing everything so I sell off. The unfortunate part is that I usually sell at the bottom – then watch it recover and feel pain to the core.
Crypto in Vietnam is about to be taxed at 0.1% per transaction! The Ministry of Finance proposes: all crypto, NFT, digital asset... transactions will be taxed at 0.1% on each transfer, similar to securities. 🔹 Notable points: – For the first time, digital assets are recognized legally in Vietnam, thanks to the Digital Technology Industry Law (effective from 01/01/2026). – The 0.1% tax rate may only be the first step – in the future, there could be additional taxes such as VAT, personal income tax, corporate tax... 💡 You should start getting used to transparent trading, keeping a history of orders, and preparing for the phase when crypto officially "becomes law".😂
The crypto market does not operate daily – but according to cycles, cash flows, and the emotions of the masses.
Many new brothers entering the crypto market often set themselves a target like: "Just earning 2–5% a day is enough." It sounds reasonable, disciplined, even similar to setting KPIs at work. But in reality, this is one of the most serious mistakes I have ever witnessed – and I have made it myself. The crypto market does not operate on a daily basis. Prices do not move steadily like a monthly salary. Some days are sideways with no waves, some days FOMO can soar 20–30% in just a few hours, and there can also be quiet weeks followed by three days of intense explosions. If you set a goal to earn 2% every day, then on days when the market has no opportunities, you might still force a trade to meet your KPI → easy to FOMO, easy to misstep. When facing a losing trade, you might hold on or revenge trade to "recover" → losses piling up. When encountering a big winning trade, you might exit early because you’ve "met the target" → missing out on a rare opportunity.
Currently, ETH is still quite indecisive, the trend is unclear, so everyone should observe. Prioritize shorting at strong resistance levels – especially when the price cannot surpass the nearest short-term peak, combined with weak signals such as long-legged candles, low volume, or RSI divergence. The most important thing is still to set a clear stop-loss and manage capital tightly. Focus on observing the early hours of the European and American sessions, as that is when the market has good liquidity, and clearer action signals are more likely to appear. When scalping quickly, I rarely hold losses; I mainly hold profits, so the risk is generally very low. Combining a small leverage below x10 makes the liquidation price on the chart very blurred and usually not subject to being swept, so I feel quite assured and calm whenever placing an order. Wishing everyone a new day filled with new profits and new successes.
RISK MANAGEMENT FOR AE TRADERS. BLOOD AND SWEAT LESSON. ✅ 1. The '3 Losses Break' Rule If you lose continuously on 3 trades (losing around 3-6% of capital), STOP TRADING for 2-3 days Come back when your mindset and the market are favorable ✅ 2. No Blind DCA Only DCA when there is a clear strategy (e.g., swing or long-term trend-following) For short-term trades → do not DCA when the trade is in the red ✅ 3. DISCIPLINE = COMPOUNDED PROFITS Do not overtrade Do not trade when emotionally unstable Do not enter trades without a clear setup Do not be greedy once you have reached your monthly target
Currently weak structure, low volume, the market still sways easily trapping both sides. If the trend is not clear, just enter lightly, keep a tight stop loss, and exit if you see a failure. In this sideways range, take quick profits of 500 to 1k and exit swiftly, everyone. SCALP prioritizes short trades according to the trend.
