Definition
A crypto trading strategy is a structured set of rules used to identify opportunities, enter trades, manage risk, and exit positions based on specific market conditions.
A complete trading strategy defines:
-
When to trade.
-
What to trade.
-
Why to trade.
-
How much to risk.
-
When to exit.
-
How performance is measured.
The central idea:
Successful trading is not about finding one perfect indicator. It is about building a repeatable decision-making system with a measurable edge.
