Crypto risk sizing strategies during volatility
Hey everyone, fairly new to actively trading crypto and I'm finding the swings in $BTC and altcoins a lot more intense than I'm used to in forex. I've been trying to stick to a fixed percentage risk per trade, say 1% of my capital, but sometimes a sudden wick can just wipe out what feels like a disproportionate amount. Am I thinking about this wrong? For those who've been in crypto for a while, do you adjust your risk sizing during periods of extreme volatility, or do you maintain a static approach and just accept the wider swings as part of the game?
