This is a good article and of course every trader that wants to be good in trading crypto assets or any kind of trading has to know about risk management. But, that still doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be losing. Even those you called the trade gurus still lose money when they are trading.
Nobody is hundred percent perfect, there will be times that you will lose. This trading is like a competition and you can’t be winning all the time, when you win there is someone who is losing and when you lose there is someone who is making profit, it’s just like that. But like I said, this is a good article because I’m very sure that if newbies should take their time and learn this it will help them to minimize their risk.

Most traders loos money because of their inexperience which make them to fomo for a a trade they are suppose to wait for a good entry point but the fear of missing out on the trade will prompt them to enter a trade of an already pumped token which is already retracing its price for a correction. If newbies can control their emotions to a large extent then they can minimize loss also
It is great to share some information so that some traders would learn something new.
I think risk management is one of the most common problem of the new traders,
Most of them doesn't know how to manage their funds they just want the profit they doesn't think about the negative things that could happen while trading or they doesn't have any back up plans.
Newbie is unaware of how investment management and risk reduction are normal when basically, they just want to reach the world of trading as quickly as possible, the knowledge was too much and boring right at the beginning, it made them overwhelmed and did not want to absorb it, perhaps here a lot of our friends just ask us about which coin should invest, instead of asking us about knowledge and safety in trading. Losing money may be the best message and limit the arrogance of newbie, they will wake up and realize risk management is very important.I think risk management is one of the most common problem of the new traders,

In theory I like and very informative, but I often hear that if we really do it in the market then everything will be different. in addition to the theory of risk management it might be possible to add actual trading knowledge. to be honest on the second point is very basic and I'm sure many people know about this, but from my experience sometimes in one day we can not make a daily profit (2%). so the main solution is trading knowledge, so I think it's better to provide trading knowledge first there and I'm also waiting for part 2.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge here in forum, and it is a right time for the newbie, because many newbie once they enter in the field of trading they don't know how to manage their assets they just trade and trade without making strategies or planning. So that many newbie are give up their dream to earned when their money is depleted. It is important to know that before we start trading it is necessary to know those guidelines that you've shared.
Those really are important 3 steps of risk management. What most of the newbie traders would do is that they would forget about pen and paper and move onto manual trades without managing risk. Your first point seemed quite interesting for me. Keeping a risk to reward ratio is always good to minimize our loss.
Moreover, a normal day trader would approximately execute 10 trades in a day of which 4 might fail but 6 might make him hit the targets which would indeed give him some benefits even if he keeps risk to reward ratio to 1:2. This thread should be bookmarked by newbies who want to start learning trading. This would really be useful for those.

Newbie traders lose their capital due to the obvious reason of lack of experience in both technical analysis and fund management capabilities. I believe risk management is just a part of fund managements as when you are able to protect your capital from unexpected losses then you may get chances to minimize your risks in greater levels.
Learning and continuous learning will be the possible way for newbie traders to turn as a profitable traders and then professional traders. It will not be possible in months but it will take up to year of time. Until seeing consistent profits, traders must use least capital. That capital is not for generating profits but for the purpose of learning the basics of trading.

First two important keys looks the same. Knowledge is most important factor here which would make us earn a decent earning but acquiring that knowledge is not at all an easy task. You need to go through a number of books, online websites teaching the importance of technical analysis, previous year graphs, learn how to imply various strategies to the charts, etc which would make you gain some knowledge about trading.Risk management comes after this. Once you have gained basic information and are ready to move over real trading than at that time you could start learning about risk management before you could perform your first trade. This would make you a professional traders in few months.
This is important Newbie does not consider these issues when trading. That's why they do loss. Another big mistake of newbies is to open a trade if it loses, and then jump to another. It turns out that the next one also goes to loss. They do not think realistically when they make trade. They follow different people and buy that coin with their full fund of what they say to buy. This is a major mistake of them. Hope the op information helps them.
What OP saying can be a guideline, but we can modify what say so we can adjust with the money that we use in trading. Many of us don't have big money to trade so we cannot buy a whole of 1 bitcoin directly, but we can buy bitcoin in small money depends on the money that we have. No matter how much money you use, you don't have to use all of the money to buy bitcoin, but you should have some money just in case to back up if the price is down for more after you purchased.
If you have $100, you can use $50 to buy bitcoin, and repeat the process if you can see the chance to buy and sell the bitcoin. But if you see that the bitcoin price is down deeper than the price you purchased, you can buy more bitcoin because you still have money to buy more. But if the price increase after your buy, you can decide to sell at a price you want, but don't chase too big profit because that can make you lose the time to sell at the right time.

Well, I am absolutely agree with you OP, thanks for sharing this useful information.
In addition to that, most of newbie traders are taking the risk and without a strategy because they simply have a lack of knowledge in this domain that's why they always fail in order to achieve their goals. Trading is not an easy field for making a lot of profit and in a short period, the makret is volatile in most of times.
In my opinion, there are four important keys of success in trading and for any newbie
-Learning the basics of trading " Knowledge is power ".
- Read some useful books especially for beginners.
- Be patient and control yourself especially in the bad situation
- Make some different strategies.
- Be yourself and don't follow the social media tips.

If you're especially new to trading, you don't necessarily need to set profit targets for yourself to reach at first either. I found that I got extremely stressed and performed worse when I started out trading and trying to hit my own personal targets, even when those targets were low, and most people extremely new to trading crash and burn a few times at first as well. You should still be adhering to your risk management plan whether or not you've got a profit target, though.
Also realize that you should not be basing your stops only with the R/R ratio. The market does not care about where your stops are, so use technical analysis whenever possible first before worrying about whatever R/R target you want. You'll be stopped out less this way. I also don't believe in having a certain minimum R/R per trade; this varies from situation to situation and there's times when the R/R of one trade's lower than another, and that's just fine.

Failure is good as long as we find the lesson from it, we can not improve out self if we will not learn frok out past mistakes. Newbies are vulnerable to losses, we became newbie too so we should be aware of that. When I was newbie, I have doubts and uncertainties because I'm not yet familiar to market. The first lesson that I learned is J should not gey hyped, I lose in a trade because I follow the opinion of other people. It is my first loss and I told myself that I will only follow myself in terms of making decision. Learning from the failures that we experience is the best way to become successful.
Lessons we may learn from trading is unlimited and due to this reason, people are failing to make use of the lesson that they had learned out of their failures in trading. I mean if there are few chances of missing something and correcting them in future will be possible. But, in actual there are 1000s of things, we may miss out and remembering or ensuring that we are doing/following all the 1000s of factors perfectly for our trading, is the stage where most traders are failing and the lesson is not remember-able hence they may repeat that mistake again and again. We've all gone through newbie phase and made mistakes. Important thing is to learn from that and not repeat it. But losses are inevitable and sooner or later we all face it, even in experienced phase.
However, it's important to know how to deal with that and to know where are your limits.
Combined with lack of experience and knowledge plus strong desire to get rich over night makes newbie traders vulnerable. So, important lesson to learn is how to deal with risk and to be aware of it all the time.
