If you’re trading perps with a small account, focus on protecting your capital, not turning $100 into $1,000 overnight.

On a $100 account, risk around $1 per trade, $2 max. Use isolated margin, set your stop before entering, and size the position based on your risk. Aim for at least a 2:1 risk to reward.

If you already have a trading strategy that works well for you and you’ve tested it, stick with it. You don’t need to change your system every time you see someone else trading differently.

Avoid stacking similar altcoins, keep your total risk low, and stop for the day around −$3 or after 3 losses. Never add to losers, revenge trade, or increase leverage after a loss.

If you use cross margin, be extra careful with your total account exposure. Check funding rates when holding perps too.

The goal isn’t to win every trade. Manage your risk, follow your strategy, stay disciplined, and protect your capital so you’re around for the next opportunity.
