There are only two ways to avoid losing capital: one is to have a small stop-loss space (reflected in the entry position), and the other is not to bet too much at once. For example, buying one lot with $10,000 can earn $1,000, and buying ten lots with $100,000 can earn $10,000. Although the probability is the same, the more you do, the more you earn, and the...

I would like to save people from getting burned so after 3.5 years of being in this space here is my advice: 1. It is easy to fall in love with an investment, especially when you believe it could make you rich. Have belief, but don't be blinded by it.

I've seen lots of people getting liquidated on there longs on this BTC dump. This is why I think people never take into consideration risk management or don't know how it actually works.

Nothing more depends on you....
