Key risk categories

Understand the common sources of risk in digital asset markets. Use this section as a non-exhaustive primer.

Market volatility

Rapid price movements can lead to substantial gains or losses in short periods.

  • Sudden swings: Prices can gap during illiquid hours.
  • Global events: Macro news can trigger sharp moves.
  • Correlation breaks: Diversification may not always reduce risk.

Liquidity risk

Thin order books can cause slippage and difficulty executing orders at expected prices.

  • Slippage: Executed price may deviate from quoted price.
  • Spread widening: Bid-ask spreads can expand during stress.
  • Partial fills: Large orders may fill in fragments.
Liquidity

Leverage risk

Leverage magnifies exposure. Small moves can lead to liquidation and total loss of margin.

  • Margin calls: Insufficient collateral triggers forced reduction.
  • Liquidation: Extreme moves can rapidly breach maintenance margin.
  • Overexposure: Position sizing is critical.

Systems, processes, and external dependencies may fail or behave unexpectedly.

Responsible trading practices

These practices are informational and not advice. Use them to frame your decision-making process.

Position sizing

Use a small percentage of your capital per trade. Avoid concentration in a single asset or time frame.

Higher leverage requires even smaller sizing to accommodate volatility.
Risk-reward planning

Define invalidation levels before entering. Set stop orders and realistic profit-taking points.

Scenario analysis

Consider best, base, and worst-case outcomes. Account for gaps, slippage, and correlation spikes.

Operational readiness

Maintain 2FA and device security. Beware of phishing. Only use official Bitxmax.com channels.
