Question
How do I start investing in Bitcoin?
To start investing, first educate yourself on the basics, track market trends, and consider your financial goals. Once comfortable, choose a reliable cryptocurrency exchange platform and follow their instructions to buy Bitcoin using fiat currency or another cryptocurrency you already own.
Risk management you can actually use
- Risk per trade = account equity × risk% (e.g., 1%).
- Position size = risk per trade ÷ (entry − stop).
- Expectancy (E) = win_rate × avg_win − (1−win_rate) × avg_loss.
- Cap total portfolio risk; journal every trade.
A quick example
Account $10,000, risk 1% → $100 risk per trade. Entry $50, stop $48 → $2 risk/share → 50 shares. Target $54 (2R). If stopped, −$100; if target hits, +$200 (before costs).
How much capital do I need to start?
Use an amount you can afford to lose while learning a repeatable process.
How do I size positions?
Decide a fixed risk % per trade, then divide by the price distance to your stop.
How often should I review?
Match your timeframe: DAIly/weekly for swing; weekly/monthly for long-term.
What goes into my journal?
Thesis, entry/exit, risk (R), emotions, result, next improvement.
