Develop a Strategy
Choose a trading system that suits your risk appetite: Success in the Cointracts Challenge doesn’t come from random trades it comes from having a clear, repeatable strategy.
- Scalping: Multiple fast trades; thrives in high volatility.
- Day Trading: Trades closed within the same day; balance of activity and control
- Swing Trading: Multi-day positions; relies on bigger market moves.
Risk Management
Even with freedom, risk control is non-negotiable.
- Risk 1–2% of your account per trade
(e.g., on a $10K challenge, risk no more than $100–$200 per trade) - Set stop-loss and take-profit targets before entering any trade.
- Avoid over-leveraging, especially on lower liquidity coins.
Why it matters:
Protecting your capital is key to passing and getting funded. A great strategy without risk control is just gambling.
- Stick to limit orders in volatile markets.
