Guide: Risk Management
Crypto is a volatile investment; that much is clear to anyone who’s spent some time in the market. Luckily, there are some strategies that can help mitigate that risk and protect a portfolio from the ups and downs as much as possible.
This guide will cover a few risk management strategies that crypto investors use to reduce risk and make the crypto market seem like less of a roller coaster.
Avoid FOMO, Practice DCA
It’s important to remember that crypto doesn’t go up endlessly and that sometimes there will be sharp pullbacks in value. Some mitigate this by practising dollar-cost averaging (DCA), meaning a strategy of buying a set amount of crypto every week or month.For example, there’s an investor who has $1000. Instead of investing it all at once, they spend $100 every month for 10 months. Doing so allows them to make more significant buys when prices are lower and smaller buys when prices are higher, which helps mitigate the risk of buying at the top only to fall off a price cliff.
HODL
“Time in the market beats timing the market.” Panic selling is never a good thing, as it can lead to selling at a loss. Likewise, panic buying can lead to dumping large amounts of money into a token that craters in value the next day.HODLing is not a magic cure for risk or loss. Instead, it can be a good strategy for achieving a specific amount of profit or exit point, while avoiding rash decisions that can lead to major losses.
Take Profit and Rebalance
Most investors are in crypto to make a profit, and there’s nothing wrong with that. But it’s important for an investor to take that profit at different intervals to ensure those gains are locked in.One way an investor may do this is by setting certain percentages at which to sell some crypto. For example, there’s an investor who has some SOL and it jumps in value by 25%. In order to take profits, they sell 5% of their SOL holdings. The next month, SOL falls by 15%, but because the investor took profits, the overall value of their portfolio is worth more than someone who held on to all of their SOL.
This is where rebalancing goes hand-in-hand with taking profits. In crypto, BTC often dictates what the rest of the market does. Moving those profits into a stablecoin, like USDT or USDC, helps to insulate a portfolio from any large movements in price action. Those profits can also be reinvested when market conditions are favourable for buying the dip.
It’s important to set exit points at which to take profits so that those hard-earned gains are realised.
All of the Above
Many investors mix two or more risk management strategies. There’s always going to be risk associated with investing in speculative assets, but the lows and highs of the crypto market don’t have to be as bad with risk management.Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL OR INVESTMENT ADVICE. Only you are responsible for any capital-related decisions you make, and only you are accountable for the results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
