O Que Praticar

Basic Order Types

1. Market order — Buy/sell immediately at current price
2. Limit order — Set specific price para buy/sell
3. Stop-loss order — Auto-sell when price drops to X
4. Take-profit order — Auto-sell when price rises to X

Practice each type until comfortable.

Entry and Exit Timing

• Entry — When to buy (support level, breakout, DCA)
• Exit — When to sell (target price, stop-loss, trailing stop)
• Position sizing — How much to invest per trade (1-5% portfolio)

Leverage Trading

CRITICAL para beginners:

• Practice 2x-5x leverage first
• Understand liquidation price
• See how leverage amplifies gains AND losses
• Never use >10x leverage until experienced

Liquidation example:

• R$ 1.000 capital
• 10x leverage = R$ 10.000 position
• 10% price drop = R$ 1.000 loss = 100% capital lost = LIQUIDATED

Strategy Testing

Test strategies without risk:

• DCA — Dollar-cost averaging sim
• Grid trading — Range-bound strategy
• Momentum — Follow trending coins
• Reversal — Buy dips, sell peaks
• Mean reversion — Buy oversold, sell overbought
