In crypto, fluctuations of 5–15%/day are not uncommon. Risk management doesn't “reduce profits” — it keeps you capital for the next move. This article is for Vietnamese traders who want a clear, immediately applicable checklist.

1) Risk per order (R)

Choose a fixed % (e.g. 0.5–1% of balance) for the stop range. Position size = money risk ÷ stop range. Don't "feel the volume".

2) Leverage is a tool, not a goal

High leverage narrows tolerances. If the technical stop is wide, reduce leverage instead of tightening the stop unreasonably close to noise.

3) All setups need invalidation

The price that negates the thesis must be written down before entering. Running out of arguments → escape, no "hope".

4) Day/week limit

Max loss per day (eg 2–3R) → stop. Revenge trading after stop loss is the number one enemy of small accounts.

5) Separation of research and implementation

Research session: multi-timeframe, catalyst news, funding/OI. Implementation session: just follow the plan. Mixing two roles is prone to headline FOMO — see Filter crypto news noise.

Long-term winning traders are often boring: same risk, same checklist, few trading heroes.
