Indian crypto: my approach to asymmetric trades
How market structure thinking from finance applies to crypto trading in the Indian context.
Trading crypto from India means operating inside real constraints — tax drag, banking friction, and thin liquidity on local rails. Ignoring that structure is how most people quietly bleed capital. Respecting it is where the edge lives.
Asymmetry first
I only take trades where the downside is capped and known but the upside is several multiples larger. If I cannot draw the exact line where I am wrong before entering, I do not have a trade — I have a hope.
Structure over noise
Price is the last thing that moves. Order flow, funding rates, and where liquidity is stacked tell you far more about the next move than any headline. I map the structure, then wait for the market to come to my level instead of chasing.
Risk is the only real skill
Position sizing, not entries, decides whether you survive to compound. I risk a fixed, small fraction per idea, and I let winners run only after the thesis is confirmed. In a market this volatile, staying solvent is the entire game.
