š 5 Rules Every Crypto Trader Must Follow in 2026
If you want to survive and profit in this market, you need a system. Here are 5 non-negotiable rules we follow at TradeWave:
1. Never risk more than 2% per trade.
Capital preservation is the #1 priority. One bad trade shouldn't blow your account. Size your positions based on your stop loss, not your ego.
2. Always have an entry plan AND an exit plan.
Before you enter any trade, know your target and your stop. If you don't know where you're getting out, you shouldn't be getting in.
3. Don't chase pumps.
If a coin already did 50%+ and you're just hearing about it, you're late. The best entries happen when the crowd isn't paying attention yet.
4. Use multiple timeframes.
Check the daily, 4H, and 1H charts before executing. A signal on the 15-minute chart means nothing if the daily trend is against you.
5. Take profits consistently.
Greed kills accounts. Scale out at your targets ā don't wait for the "perfect" exit. A realized gain beats a hypothetical one every time.
