## 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].

## Disclaimer

Crypto assets are high risk. This page is educational, not investment advice.
