- Never trade with what you can afford to lose.
This is my personal first rule before trading. No selling of houses and titles, no pawning, not losing anything tangible but money.
- Never risk more than 5% of your portfolio in a single trade, don't open multiple positions if you are not sure about diversification of your assets.
Well it depends because there are days that you need to really risk with the opportunity you have in front of you to gain but do not exceed 20% of your total capacity.
- Never trade what you don't know anything about. You need to have some brief knowledge about a project to trade it.
Research! You know some beginners tend to just ride the flow without knowing the intrinsic value of investing to someone's project. Researching will make you more aware of the surface you are moving, it is not just about the price that you see on your monitor, it is what lies behind those numbers and people behind the project, you must know almost everything before jumping in.
