How I manage my trades and strategies in the market.
I want to share with you how I am managing my trades and strategies at the moment. I am not one of those who believe that there is a magic formula, but I do think that having a clear plan and adapting it to market conditions makes all the difference.
My trading is mainly split between spot and futures, but with completely different approaches and risk levels. I also like to diversify, not only in cryptocurrencies, but in different sectors and markets. Here is an overview of how I organize everything.
1. Trading in the spot market: my main focus
Most of my trading is done in the spot market, because it gives me more peace of mind. Here my main objective is to look for movements between 10% and 30%. I don't look for huge returns, but movements that are achievable and sustainable.
How do I select my assets?
I focus on technical analysis and try to identify assets that have not yet reached their key zones or are close to significant support levels. In addition:
Confidence in assets: I only invest large amounts in projects that I trust and that have solid fundamentals.
Diversification: I occasionally explore new categories or sectors within the crypto market. It's a way to stay on top of emerging opportunities, but always with caution.
2. Capital rotation: adapting to the market
I think one of the biggest mistakes you can make is being overexposed to the market. That's why I try to keep a maximum of 60% to 70% of my capital invested in cryptocurrencies, always leaving a liquidity margin.
Why? Because you don't know when the market will give you a great opportunity, and if you are 100% invested, you won't have any room to take advantage of it.
My exposure range: The minimum I manage is 20% in cryptocurrencies, but I try not to exceed 80%, since I consider that to be too exposed.
As for rotating my capital, I am always attentive to:
Assets that have already achieved their objectives: When I see that an asset reaches its key areas, I don’t just “wait and see.” I prefer to rotate to other projects with greater potential at that time.
Longer time frames: I rely heavily on weekly and monthly charts to analyze broader trends and avoid getting into small or meaningless moves.
3. Futures trading: strategy and risk control
In the futures market, my approach is much more technical and structured, as the risk here can be higher if not managed well. I do not risk more than 10% of my total capital on the strategies I make in futures, and this limit allows me to operate with a cool head.
My goals:
I generally look for spot-like moves (10% to 30%), but with moderate leverage ranging from 3x to 6x.
If there are very clear conditions in the market, I can use up to 9x, but I do this in specific scenarios and with a solid technical analysis that supports the operation.
How I select my trades:
I rely on clear market structures such as support, resistance and technical patterns.
I confirm my entries with tools such as Fibonacci, volume and candle analysis.
My risk management is strict: I always have stop losses defined and respect my invalidation levels, no matter what happens.
4. Diversification in markets and sectors
Something that has worked well for me is diversifying not only in cryptocurrencies, but also in different sectors of the crypto market. This helps me balance risks and be exposed to emerging trends.
For example:
I invest in safer sectors such as blockchain infrastructure (Ethereum, Polygon, Polkadot).
I explore growing sectors such as DeFi (Aave, Curve) and decentralized storage (Filecoin, Arweave).
I also dedicate a small part to more experimental or low-profile projects, always with a detailed prior analysis.
5. Constant learning and adjustments
An important thing in my strategy is not to stagnate. The market changes, and I think it is important to adjust the strategy according to the conditions. For example:
In highly volatile markets, I prefer to trade futures with stricter risk management.
When the market is quieter, I increase my spot exposure and look for longer moves.
I am also always reviewing my trades and my performance. If something is not working, I analyze it and change it. I don't stick to a strategy if I see that it doesn't fit the current market.
Conclusion: Consistency, not perfection
I don’t think there is a “perfect” strategy, but I do believe that every trader can find one that suits their style and goals. For me, it’s all about having a clear plan, diversifying my capital, and not overexposing myself to the market.
If trading has taught me anything, it's that patience and discipline always trump emotion and improvisation. I'm not looking to win everything in one trade; I'm looking to grow consistently over time. And believe me, that mindset makes all the difference.
