Risk Management for Crypto Trading
In short: In futures, liquidation occurs when margin balance falls below maintenance margin[1]; crypto asset service providers in Türkiye have been under SPK supervision since 2024[2].
Why risk management?
Crypto trades 24/7 and is highly volatile. Protecting capital comes before chasing profit.
Position sizing
Risk only a small percentage of your account on any single trade and size stops and amounts accordingly.
Leverage
Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. High leverage can lead to liquidation on a small adverse move.
Diversification
Opening many same-direction positions in highly correlated coins is not real diversification.
Liquidation and regulation
In futures, liquidation occurs when margin balance falls below maintenance margin[1]; see the leverage and liquidation guide. Crypto asset service providers in Türkiye have been under SPK supervision since 2024[2].
