Position Sizing:

This means determining the amount of capital to allocate to a specific trade. It is a critical component of risk management. It is a good tool for controlling the overall exposure to the market. Single risk will not hamper the portfolio a lot in this strategy. A common approach is to risk only a small percentage of your total capital on any single trade. This percentage is typically between 1% and 3%. For example, if your trading capital is $10,000, risking 2% per trade means you would invest $200 in each position. This strategy ensures that no single loss can significantly impact your overall portfolio and for this, this is widely used in this sector.

Hedging:

This is another important tool for taking a position in a related asset to offset potential losses in another position. In crypto trading, this could mean holding a combination of long and short positions. let's understand it with an example if you own a significant amount of Bitcoin, you might hedge by taking a short position on Bitcoin futures. If the price of Bitcoin drops, the losses on your long position can be offset by gains on the short position. Hedging can help manage risk by providing a safety net against adverse market movements.
