Since nasa suggestion dito
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tips-suggestion-of-topics-updated-4613620 ang Technical Analysis and nakagawa ako ng Risk Management write-up sa Trading group ni Ximply, might as well I share ko na rin po dito publicly.
IntroductionI've seen a lot of people come into the market with a get rich quick mindset. I know ako rin naman at sino ba naman ang hindi lolz. As new entrants, hindi natin naiisip ang possible downside effect ng investing and trading decisions natin in case things don't go the way we wanted. Usually late na natin ma realize ang extent ng damage sa ating portfolio.
Saying goes trading is marathon not a sprint. Your first goal as a trader is to survive, and then thrive. The only way to stay in the game is to apply proper risk management.Risk ManagementRisk – the amount/portion of your account you are willing to lose per trade. Yan ung amount na mawawala sayo if your trade turns into a loss. Advisable sa beginners ay 1-2% per trade. Para sakin maganda start muna 1%, then increase to 2% or more after may kita na to avoid accelerated drawdown in case na magkaroon ng series of losing trades in the beginning.
>> Sample with an account of $1,000, bale siyempre 1% ay $10, yan ang risk mo per trade.
2 Types of Risk Setup1. Stop Based Risk – Eto yung kapag by trade invalidation. Once price triggers your stop loss, example ang stop loss mu ay kapag bumaba ung price ng 10% , you lose the amount as defined by your risk. Usually for liquid markets eto applicable, Technical Analysis based trade.
Position Sizing and Risk to RewardPosition Size - bali eto ung amount na iaalot mo sa isang trade. Yan ung formula, ung image sa baba.
Apply naten sa EOS trade
So sa example na yan makakabili tayo ng 10 EOS na $60 worth, na kapag natalo tayo sa trade ang loss natin ay $10.
Risk to Reward – eto yung measure ng profitability naten sa trades. So sa example trade naten, Entry at $6 , stoploss at $5 (-16.6%) at target price na $16(+266%)
pwede naten gamitin ung R:R tool sa tradingview or coinigy
So ang nangyari, nag risk tayo ng $10 sa trade, and if successful kumita tayo ng $100. That’s a 10:1 trade. Ten times ng risk naten yung reward.
Winning Trade
Now risk to reward setups determine minimum required win rate to maintain profitability.3:1 – losing 3 and winning 1 = break even, a win rate above 25% to stay profitable
4:1 – losing 4 and winning 1 = break even, a win rate above 20% to stay profitable
5:1 – losing 5 and winning 1 = break even, a win rate above 16.6% to stay profitable
So ibig sabihin, kahit mababa ang win rate basta maganda ang R:R setups naten, we can still be profitable in the long run.
*Something to note, tight stop = bigger position size and bigger potential profit. Wide stop = smaller position size and smaller potential profit.same trade, trade but with wider stop. more wiggle room for volatility, but less R:R hence less potential profit.
2. Sunk Cost Risk – Eto yung moon or doom lol. You consider the fact that the asset/coin you invested in can go to zero. Meaning kung sakali mag scam yung project, or magkaroon ng fud mag drop nang -50% or -70% and at max -100% ang mawawala sayo ay ung amount as defined by your risk. Usually for illiquid markets eto, particularly low cap coins or unproven ICO projects, Fundamental Analysis based trade.
Simple lang ang position sizing dito. Kung ano ung risk amount, yun din ung amount na pambibili naten ng coins. Example $10 risk, so yun na yon. Mag zero man yung coin, yan na ang loss naten. Ang reason po wala tayong stop loss or zero ang max loss naten sa trade dahil usually walang buy side liquidity sa order book or sa case ng ICO, incase na mag drop below sale price pagka list sa exchange. Kung mag x10 man ung coin, profit tayo ng $100. Mag x100 $1,000 ang kita. Remember, marami low cap ang nag x1,000 or more in the past. Example na po jan yun maliit na puhunan mga kababayan natin dito na nag-invest sa mga lowcaps dati naging kwarta noong kasagsagan ng crypto last December 2017.
Example ng trades kung saan bagay yung setup na to:
low marketcap, low trading volume coins
unproven ICO projects lol
kung nag buy ka sa ICO at naghodl ka till now, 90% underwater kna
Kung nabasa niyo itong write-up ko, magets niyo na ang tone ng mga susunod ko pang-isshare. Usually kasi nga ang isip natin palagi especially sa mga baguhan ay profit agad, ano magandang bilhin, magkano ang price nito in the future w/o thinking the possible downside risk ng trading at investment decisions natin. Maganda po meron tayong invalidation points, exit strategies just in case hindi po natin nakuha ung projected profit naten at nag end up into losses.
To be continued.... Thanks
