How Not to Blow Your Deposit: A Beginner’s Survival Guide 🛡️
Entering the crypto world and already dreaming of a Lambo? Slow down. The market isn't an ATM; it’s a game of survival. To avoid becoming "liquidity" for big players, follow these core rules:
Forget High Leverage ❌
See that "100x" button? Ignore it. In 2026, volatility is so high that the slightest move against you can wipe your balance to zero. Start with Spot trading or keep your leverage below 2x–3x.Stop-Loss is Your Best Friend 🛡️
Never enter a trade without a Stop-Loss. It's better to take a 5% hit than to become an accidental "long-term investor" watching a -90% drawdown. Stop-losses remove emotion and keep your capital safe for the next opportunity.The 1–2% Rule 📊
Don't go "all-in" on one coin. Risk only 1–2% of your total deposit per trade. Even if you hit 10 losses in a row (it happens!), you’ll still have 80–90% of your capital left to recover.Diversification Isn't Boring 🧩
Split your deposit: some in BTC/ETH, some in promising alts, and keep at least 30% in stablecoins. This is your dry powder to buy the dip when the market panics.Don’t Chase Pumps 🏃💨
If a coin is already up 50% in a day and everyone is screaming about it — you’re late. Buying at the top because of FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is the fastest way to lose money.
Bottom line: Trading is a marathon. Your goal in the first year isn't just to get rich, it's to stay in the game.
