Getting Started with On-Chain Trading: A Complete Guide

On-chain trading can be fast and efficient, but speed without structure usually leads to losses. Start with setup discipline before your first execution.

Step 1: Wallet + RPC setup

Use a production wallet, enable hardware security where possible, and choose a stable RPC provider. Track failed transactions and latency spikes.

Step 2: Risk framework

Define risk per trade (0.5% to 1%), stop conditions, and daily max drawdown before strategy selection.

Step 3: Execution routine

Review liquidity, slippage windows, and avoid entering on emotional momentum. Document every trade with entry thesis and invalidation.
