satelliteexposuretohigh-convictionalts(small,under5%each).Addagoldsleeve
(5–10%oftotalportfolio)whilepolicypathisuncertain.
•Staggerbuys:Useladderedlimitordersbelowspottoaveragein;don’tbuylarge
lumpsinvolatilewindows.•Rebalancemonthly:Lockingainsandrebalancetowardcoreonvolatility.
Refrain from
excessive trading
during volatile
periods, especially
around economic
data releases. Limit
unhedged directional
exposure an hour
before
announcements.
Manage
Leverage
Do not keep large
crypto holdings on
exchanges due to
increased scam
risks. Transfer long-
term holdings to
hardware wallets.
Crypto Trading Cautions
Be wary of high
leverage, as
liquidations can
cause significant
drawdowns.
Maintain modest
leverage and use
stop-loss orders.
Be cautious of ETF-
driven pumps, as
they can reverse
quickly. Verify flow
patterns over
multiple days before
acting.
Avoid Over-
Trading
Avoid Chasing
Pumps
Allocate a majority to stable assets like
BTC and ETH, with smaller investments in
high-conviction alts and gold.
Core/Satellite StrategyHow to manage a crypto portfolio?
Lock in gains and rebalance towards core
assets during volatility.
Monthly RebalancingStaggered Buys
Use laddered limit orders to average in
purchases, avoiding large buys during
volatility.
