So let's start with a little excursion.

About the funding rate in simple words. Funding is the primary mechanism that ensures that the price of the last transaction on the Bybit exchange can be permanently linked to the global spot price.

Simply put, the funding rate is used to "blunt" the aggression of one side of the market in the form of higher funding fees and keep the price in line with the spot price.

When the funding rate is positive, traders holding a long position pay a commission to traders holding a short position. Conversely, when the funding rate is negative, traders holding a short position pay a commission to traders holding a long position.

And if there is a significant difference between buyers and sellers, then to balance the futures price with the spot price there is such an instrument as a financing rate - a financing commission.

And this commission goes not to the exchange, but to the smaller side of players as a tribute for securing the position to the majority. Funding fee is calculated between buyers and sellers every 8 hours (at 16:00 UTC, 00:00 UTC and 08:00 UTC).

By default, the initial funding fee rate is 0.01% of the open position size in favor of shorts (as longs are almost always larger in the market).

Example of calculating the funding fee for an inverse contract:

Financing Fee = Position Value x Financing Rate Position cost = number of contracts / market price

Trader "A" has a long position open as a result of buying 100000 BTCUSD contracts, and the market price for the duration of the funding timestamp is 50000 USD with a current funding rate of 0.01%.

First, let's calculate the value of the position: Position value = 100000/50000 = 2 BTC

Now that we know the value of the position, let's calculate the funding fee:

Funding Fee = 2 BTC x 0.0001% = 0.0002 BTC Due to the positive financing rate (0.01%), traders with a long position must pay a commission to traders with a short position.

Consequently, trader "A" must pay a financing fee of 0.0002 BTC and a short position trader with the same number of contracts must receive the said fee of 0.0002 BTC.

Okay, that's taken care of, let's move on.

What if I told you that during a bullrun, the financing fee rate in favor of understandable reasons (everyone loading into longs) can be 20-30 times the standard 0.01% and be 0.2-0.3% in favor of shorts? I attach an example:

Let's do the math, what would the return then be on holding a short position of $100,000 for one month (30 days) at a funding rate of 0.2%?

So the rate = 0.2%, calculated 3 times a day with a periodicity of 8 hours.

0.2% * 3 = 0.6% per day * 30 days = 18% per month. Or $18,000 on $100,000.

Exhale, sit down, because I know you already have zeros in your eyes.

First of all, such peaks of fundings are not always (although at times fundings were 0.4% or 40 times higher than the standard rate), so as a benchmark for monthly profitability I would take the order of 2-6% per month, which is also a lot.

And secondly, you're probably thinking now, Lyonya, that's all well and good, but there is a liquidation price, and how to deal with the loss on the short, which is formed in case of growth of the asset itself (btc/eth).

And this is where the most interesting begins.

Drum roll.

What if I told you that by opening a short with isolated leverage of 1X on a BTC/USD inverse contract we would have no liquidation price, and the size of the open position in dollar terms would always be a constant.

See what I mean? This means that we have the opportunity to profit from the funding without worrying about the liquidation price, and if we close our short position at any moment (no matter if it is plus or minus) and convert the btc/eth (which was used as collateral) back into usdt at the same moment, we will have exactly the same amount of $ as we had when we opened the position.

I know it's hard to understand right away, so let me explain it with an example. We open a short with 1X leverage at $50,000 for 1 BTC on an inverse contract (you have $50,000 in USD). The bit went up to 55.000$. You have a -5000$ loss on the short, but the BTC rate is already 55,000$, and you still have the same 50,000$ in dollars on your account. And all the time you are getting funding every 8 hours.

As a result, it turns out that at any point in time, regardless of whether the short is positive or negative, if you close the short and immediately convert btz or ether back to usdt, you will have the same amount of $ in usdt.

The growth of the underlying asset will eventually offset the loss on a 1k1 short. Therefore, we open a short on an inverse contract.

Now, step by step, what needs to be done:

1. Enter USDT on the Bybit exchange

2. Convert USDT to BTC/ETH

3. Open a short with isolated leverage of 1X on the inverse contract BTCUSD or ETHUSD for the amount we want to earn.

4. We get funding every 8 hours, profit.

I recommend opening a short on both BTC and Ether at the same time, because sometimes the funding rate on one of them is higher than on the other.

Now about the risks:

The main one is the counterparty risk. Also keep in mind that in very rare cases during a bull market (during corrections), funding can be in favor of longs, but you always have the option to check the upcoming funding rate.

You can check the current and projected refinancing rate here: https://www.coinglass.com/ru/FundingRate

Note: You should realize that if you are holding bitcoin or ethereum in anticipation of growth, it makes no sense to fund them, as you will not benefit from the growth.

It makes sense to send free bucks or stibles to fund them in order to get an obscenely high annual return on them with minimal risk and minimal number of movements.

In my opinion - it is a sin not to use such an opportunity. Funding is accrued, as I said above, at 3:00, 11:00 and 19:00 Moscow time (that is, every 8 hours).

It goes to the account of your balance in the asset that is involved as collateral.

You can see it in your wallet balance or "trading history - inverse contract - funding".

So for BTC the funding will be credited in BTC, for ether in ether. Then you can, if you want, fix what has accumulated in usdt every few days.

To do this, dApps must always be able to communicate with the blockchain, verify the details of the transactions, and process them. But dApps aren’t meant to directly communicate with the blockchain. That means they cannot send requests, retrieve data, or verify and process transactions on their own.

To do that, they rely on a system called RPC nodes. If a dApp cannot connect with RPC nodes, it will be unable to process any user request.

But what exactly are RPC nodes? And why can’t dApps function without them?

In this blog, we will explain what RPC nodes are, how they work, and how you can easily use them with your dApp.

What is an RPC node?

A Remote Procedure Call node or RPC node is a system that bridges decentralized applications (dApps) with the blockchain. dApps use RPC nodes to request various information from a blockchain network or send transactions from its interface to the blockchain so that they can get processed.

So, for example, let’s say you’re using a decentralized exchange (DEX) and request to swap ETH for USDT. Although you’re requesting this transaction through the DEX interface open on your browser, the DEX must communicate with the blockchain for two things:

Check whether your wallet (based on the blockchain) has the amount of ETH you want to swap.

Send the transaction to the blockchain nodes for verification and execution.

To do this, the DEX uses an RPC node to tell you in real-time whether or not you have the required amount of ETH. If you do, and confirm the transaction, it again uses an RPC node to broadcast your request to the blockchain network.

That is a surface-level explanation of what RPC nodes are and why they matter for dApps. For a better understanding, let’s now dive deeper and understand how RPC nodes work.

How do RPC nodes work?

The best way to understand how RPC nodes work is to individually understand three concepts: RPCs, nodes, and RPC endpoints.

When you understand these two concepts well, it automatically becomes clear how RPC nodes work.

Here’s what the two terms mean on an individual level.

What is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC)?

Remote Procedure Call is a software communication protocol that allows one software program to call and request a service from another software based on a different computer.

It works on a client-server model, where the client is the software that sends a request or query and the server is the software based on a different machine that responds to that request. The action performed by the server is called a procedure or a subroutine.

Let’s suppose you use a weather app on your smartphone. When you request the weather update on any location, the app uses an RPC to a server that stores relevant updated weather information. The server then returns the information you requested.

What is a blockchain node?

A blockchain node is a computer that runs a blockchain software and maintains a copy of the blockchain’s transactions. It also relays, verifies, and executes transaction requests from users and smart contracts.

As a blockchain does not have a central server or computing environment, it relies on hundreds or even thousands of nodes to act as a distributed and decentralized server.

What is an RPC endpoint?

Everything on the web has an address and a door even. You can imagine an RPC endpoint as a network location or address where a client can send requests. The request knocks on the server’s door, where the server receives it and performs the required action.

Now, let’s bring all these back together in the context of blockchain-based dApps.

Putting it all back together

RPC nodes are blockchain nodes that have an RPC endpoint, enabling them to respond to requests from dApps.

When a dApp (the client) needs any information from a blockchain or wants to relay a new transaction, it uses an RPC to send a request to the RPC endpoint. The RPC node (the server) with the endpoint then receives that request and returns the desired information.

💡 Having a reliable RPC node that offers near-100% uptime and stays up-to-date is crucial for your dApp. Otherwise, your dApp transactions may fail or get stuck, resulting in a poor user experience.

The Ethereum ecosystem and many other blockchains use a standardized type of RPC protocol dubbed JSON-RPC.

For the sake of understanding, let’s take Ethereum’s example. To let dApps query any type of blockchain data, JSON-RPC on Ethereum relies on a wide range of methods such as:

• eth_blockNumber: returns the number of the most recent block.

• eth_getBalance: returns the balance of a specific account.

• eth_sendTransaction: sends a new transaction to the network.

• net_version: returns the current network ID.

• eth_getTransactionReceipt: returns receipt of a transaction by transaction hash.

• eth_estimateGas: returns an estimate of the gas needed for a transaction.

These are only a few of the many other methods dApps can use to interact with the Ethereum network. And each blockchain has its own custom set of methods while the underlying protocol remains the same.

Self-hosted RPC nodes vs. RPC node services

Every blockchain has a set of RPC endpoints that are available for public usage. However, these public RPC endpoints have limited bandwidth. That means, they can only offer a limited number of calls and are not meant to support the request volume that a dApp may send.

That’s why it becomes crucial to use a private RPC endpoint/node. And there are two ways you can go about this:

1. Host your own RPC node

2. Use an RPC node service.

While both of these will serve the same purpose, the difference is in terms of flexibility, ease, and a few other factors. To get a better understanding, check out the below comparison table:

Clearly, for simplicity, RPC node services are better and the go-to choice for most dApp developers.

However, if you want to go the extra mile, you can set up an alternative RPC node to function alongside the RPC node service. So, in case the RPC node service is ever down, your self-hosted node can manage the requests.

2. The main focus of trading is on BTC and ETH. We trade ALTs during certain market phases. The number of trades depends directly on the current state of the market. If there are clear setups with good risk/reward - we go in, if not - we sit on the fence and wait. We might do 50 trades a month, or we might do 5. That is important to understand.

Overtrading.

There are pleasant market periods when you can trade frequently and actively. The market offers many good and clear entry points. There are also opposite situations and periods;

The market is dull, boring and nothing of interest to the trader is happening in the market.

During these times, most traders who try to trade instead of just taking a break - lose most of the profits they made "before" when the market was in a pleasant phase.

The best thing to do is to simply wait for suitable market situations to arise again.

It is better to spend free time in such moments on self-development, learning and restoring psychological resources. During such periods more useful educational content and materials are specially published on the Club channel.

The ability to be out of position and wait for a good moment to enter a trade is an indicator of professionalism.

If you stress and worry about losing positions, you will miss the best opportunities to enter the market. Only by staying out of the market and waiting for the most optimal entry points will you have a chance to trade in the positive side.

If most traders learned to sit idle 50 percent of the time, they would make a lot more money. There is even a special term in the trading profession called trader's burnout. The direct path to burnout is overtrading (too frequent and active trading). Overtrading is one of the biggest mistakes that traders make.

Trader, remember

It is not necessary to be in a position every second. The alternative is to be out of the market to replenish your emotional capital. Emotional capital is then converted into money. Being on the fence is a strong position. A good trader waits most of the time. If you look closely at the chart, you can find an excuse for any trade. Trading results do not increase with the frequency of transactions.

"The Wall Street fool thinks he has to trade all the time."

4. We always use stops when trading and never average a position against the price movement or increase the amount of funds in a losing trade! This is a one-way ticket out of the market.

The position is built only by pyramiding with a fixed risk limit. Pyramiding or anti-martingale. About the essence of the strategy.

The goal of every trader is to make a huge fortune on the market, as early as possible, when he is young, while keeping his health.

• What is the use of great wealth in old age?

• What to do with such great demands under time pressure?

As mentioned above, the goal of "making a fortune in the market" is divided into two goals: ensuring the safety of capital and demonstrating fantastic returns.

In order to earn hundreds and thousands of percent per year, it is necessary to take great risks, which jeopardizes the safety of capital, but there is still a way out.

The strategy of increasing the position when the price moves in a favorable direction - pyramiding, or antimartingale - allows you to perform these two tasks simultaneously. It should not be confused with averaging.

Pyramiding is the opposite of averaging. The essence of this strategy is to increase the position while generating profit.

When using this strategy, the stop-loss is moved in such a way that, despite the increase in the volume of the position, the potential loss remains constant (or approximately the same) at the initial level.

When using this strategy, the stop-loss is moved in such a way that the potential loss remains constant (or approximately the same) at the initial level, despite the increase in the volume of the position.

At the same time, by increasing the volume of the position, it is possible to significantly increase the capital. In fact, for a hand trader with a small capital, this is the only way to make a fortune in the market.

Once a trader realizes this, he or she must:

• Learn to distinguish between a sawtooth and the beginning of a trend, because pyramiding only works in conditions of a strong, powerful trend without deep corrections;

• To be "in the right place at the right time", i.e. to be in the market with sufficient capital at the beginning of a strong movement;

• Not to exceed the risk once you have managed to enter a good move, i.e. not to build up the position so aggressively that a small pullback will throw the trader out on a margin call.

After that, the trader can only wait, hope for the will of chance and avoid closing the position prematurely.

During a favorable move, the temptation to close or partially cover the position will be great. But this temptation must be fought if you want to become great, not just a good trader.

Sometimes, when you get a tangible profit, no matter what, you have to forget about technical levels and just focus on one thing - the position is profitable and you have to hold it.

So, once again, all a trader who is trying to increase his capital by times is to successfully lock in. There is no other way to make a fortune in the market than to take risks: to be in a position with significant leverage and not to lock in profits for a long time.

It is possible to do this without violating the rules of risk management only with the help of pyramiding with a tailwind of luck.

5. We always have our finger on the pulse. Always, even at night when normal people are asleep. In case of a market situation that contradicts our analysis, we will be online immediately and a notification will appear on the channel about the order of our actions at that moment. No need to write us in private messages and ask "is everything ok". Everything is fine, you will never be alone in a difficult situation.

We are responsible for opening/closing a position and its full support if a corresponding signal is published on the Channel about our opening of this position in compliance with the risk management rules from your side. In case of independent trading/overrisking/trading on third-party exchanges - all responsibility is on you.

6. Install the TabTrader application on your mobile phone. In it, we will set alarms at specified levels (Stop Loss, Take Profit) to react quickly when the price reaches the specified levels.

7. We enter positions with a risk/reward ratio of at least 1 to 2.5. This means that even with 50% of profitable trades there will be profit on the way. But it is important not to miss trades.

8. The risk of a trade is determined by three things: the stop price, the amount of leverage and the amount of funds in the open position.

The amount of deposit in a trade is determined by you, so the total risk per trade is fixed and does not exceed 1%-2% of the deposit. By default, you can trade with an isolated leverage of 5X.

NEWBIES! Use only isolated leverage, no cross leverage! If you screw up and forget to set a stop, you risk your entire deposit.

How much risk you want to take (1 or 2%) is up to you, depending on your psychotype, the size of your deposit, your risk appetite, etc. Accordingly, a stop further away means less volume.

Closer stop - more volume. For example: When entering a trade on BTC with leverage x5 with a stop of -6%. The risk per trade is -0.6% of the total deposit with a standard entry of 10% of the deposit.

Therefore, you can take a volume of 10-15% of the total deposit. Less is possible, more is not.

IMPORTANT: The task is to keep the risk of each trade fixed. That is, in each trade the risk should be equal to -0.5% of the deposit or -1% of the deposit. But not so that in one trade the risk is -0.2% of the deposit, in another -0.5% of the deposit, in the third -1% of the deposit.

Since each trade has a risk-reward of 2.5 and higher, maintaining a fixed risk on each trade on the distance will be a plus, even if the profitable trades will be only 50% (conditionally, in fact the strike rate is much higher).

Once again, the basis. Your task is to keep the risk on each trade within 1-2% of the deposit. Let's say you decide to keep the fixed risk on each trade equal to 1% of the deposit.

Let's say your trading deposit is $20,000, 1% of $20,000 = $200, let's say the stop on the trade is -6%.

If you enter the whole deposit without leverage and catch the stop, the minus will be equal to -6% of the deposit (-1200$), and should be -1% (-200$) - so you need to take the amount of funds for entry in 6 times less than 100%. Or 100%/6 = 16.6% of your deposit.

These 16.6% you can take as with leverage 1X (in fact without leverage), and then your own funds in the deal will be 16.6%, or with isolated leverage 3.3X, and then your own funds in the deal will be 5% (5% * 3.3 = 16.5%).

If your risk on each trade was 2% of the deposit. Then you would take the volume of funds 33.2% of the deposit. You could also take it with leverage of 1X and the amount of equity in the trade equal to 33.2% or with isolated leverage of 5X and the amount of equity in the trade equal to 6.64%.

So, before opening any position - you choose the leverage and the amount of equity in the position to fit within your given risk limit.

Where the stop is placed. ONCE AGAIN!

Using a specific trade as an example, we will show you how to quickly calculate volume and leverage. Let's assume that the channel receives the following message:

Bybit. BTCUSDT. Long Entry range: 35000-35300 Stop at 34,000 (-3%) Target: 38-40k

Let's assume that the size of your deposit is: $30,000

On the example of the above trade, how to quickly calculate how much volume to take and what value to enter in the "Quantity" column. If you decide to keep the risk fixed at 1% of the deposit in each trade. You take your deposit in $.

In our case $30,000, divide it by the stop value (in our case = 3%).

30,000/3 = $10,000 (you get the amount of money you should have an open position for).

In our case it is 35.000$ (Bitcoin rate). 10.000/35.000$ = 0.2857 BTC

That's it, you've got the value you need to put in the quantity column. And then, by default, you can just take an isolated leverage of 5X. That's it!) The main thing is to correctly calculate the amount of funds in the position.

If you have a risk on each trade = 2%. Then just multiply the obtained value by 2. In our case it will be = 0.2857*2 = 0.5714 BTC

Let's move on.

You have calculated the required amount. It is 0.2857 BTC ($10,000 at the rate of $35,000) and it is this amount that you enter in the Quantity column (regardless of the leverage you have chosen). And then you are faced with a choice, what leverage to take now? 5Х? 10Х? 20Х? The correct answer. Drum roll. I don't give a shit).

The main thing is to use leverage so that the liquidation price is higher than the stop price. The amount of leverage only affects the liquidation price and has absolutely no effect on the profit/loss of the trade.

Simply, the equity in the deal:

• With 10x leverage on $10,000 (0.2857 BTC), $1,000 is involved. (1000$*10 = 10.000$)

• At 5x leverage = $2000 ($2000*5 = $10,000)

• With 20x leverage = $500 ($500*20=$10,000).

But the commission for opening/closing a position, profit and loss when using leverage of 10X, 5X and 20X will be the same.

The only difference will be the liquidation price, which should be lower than the price of your stop. That's all!)

Therefore, if you learn to calculate volume correctly and quickly, you can use 5X leverage by default and don't worry about it. It is necessary to understand and fix only once.

9. If you feel anxious about an open position, it most likely means that the risk management rules have been violated (too large percentage of the deposit in the trade, the stop is not worth it or there is a risk of losing a significant part of the deposit). Do not do this!

10. When a trade is published on the channel, the entry range, stop price and targets for each trade are specified in zone format.

When the price reaches the set targets - fix part of the position and protect the profit according to your greed. In time you will find the necessary balance. As a rule, the position is divided into 5-8 parts, which are fixed when the specified zones are reached.

Be sure to leave a small part of the position in the format of a munbeg (10-15%) for absolutely indecent purposes. It is also highly recommended to always fix a part of the position in profit when the price crosses every 5-6%, even if the trading targets are higher.

Note. In the current market, it is extremely important to exit a position correctly when leaving a munbag. One way:

Split the position into 5-8 parts. If the profit of the trade is 5-6%, you will fix 1/5 (1/8) of the position according to the guide. Then let's say the price comes to the zone of the first take. Again, you will fix 1/5 (1/8) of the position. But not from the initial position, but from the remaining position.

That is, if you fixed 1/5 of the initial position earlier, you will fix 1/5 (1/8) of the 4/5 (7/8) left after the first profit protection. This way you always have a part of the position and you get the richest cream.

11. Stops. Must stand at all times. Market (so that there is no slippage). If the profit on the open position is +10/+15% and above - the stop on the deal is independently set to break-even. In order to close the position at breakeven, taking into account the exchange commission + financing rates, it is necessary to set a margin of 20-30 points between the entry price and the stop price.

12. Depending on our confidence in the setup, trades may be published with a "Risk" marker. This means that there is a higher probability that both the target and the stop of this trade will be reached. These are usually contrarian trades, or trades where it is better to be in a position than out, as there is a probability of a strong move. At the same time, the risk/reward of such trades is very high.

Since the risk/reward ratio is very high, you can open positions with twice the risk of the standard position and still make an excellent profit if the trade is successful. It is up to you to enter, enter with reduced volume or skip such trades.

13. Important: Another important point and a gross error in calculating the amount of funds in each position with a fixed risk on each trade.

You always consider a fixed risk of 1 (2)% of your initial deposit. Increasing your deposit after profitable trades is not a reason to consider 1% of the new deposit size.

For the profit formed on the accounts is categorically recommended to withdraw to the live cache, to please yourself and improve the quality of your life.

In other words: If your initial deposit was equal to $30,000 and you hard plussaluvalu (as for example for the last few weeks), making +50-60% to the depo. After that your deposit became equal to 48.000$, you still count and take the risk of 1% of 30.000$.

That is, you deposit $300, not $480. This accomplishes two goals:

One. You train yourself to take money out of the market.

Second. You will have a good profit/fat in case there is a stop band (it does happen, and it is also absolutely normal in a probabilistic approach).

If you start counting the risk percentage from the new (larger) deposit size immediately after successful trades, then in case of a series of stops all the profit will start melting quickly, which would not happen if you start counting the risk percentage from the original amount.

Fixed. You should not increase your position until you have doubled or tripled your capital. Most people make the mistake of increasing their bets when they are barely making a profit. This is a quick way to go nowhere.

Another rule of thumb is to halve your standard risk limit after both large losses and long winning streaks.

The logic of reducing trading volume after a destabilizing loss is obvious. The rationale for doing the same after a winning streak requires clarification. Very often, for most traders, the biggest losses always follow the biggest wins. The reason for this is overconfidence and loss of control after a big win.

14. Anyone who wants to stay with us for a long time - please take the time to read this book "Trading in the Zone" by Mark Douglas. If you haven't read it, your perception of the market, what's going on in it, and your approach to trading will change once and for all.

We adhere to the probabilistic approach to trading and consider it the only true option if you want to stay in the game for the long haul.

Nobody knows the future. The market can go anywhere at any time.

The probabilistic approach means that we as traders should find systematic entry points and then open a position without any internal doubts and hesitations, strictly following our trading system and risk management.

Once again. When we see a systemic entry point, we open a position, whether we want to or not, whether we are sure or not, whether we doubt or hesitate.

We open a position. And after opening a position, we should be ready to calmly go for both stop and take. Without emotion, without joy, without regret.

• We can have 10 profitable trades in a row. We continue to find systemic entry points and open positions.

15. Remember, it's better not to get on the train than to get under it.

Therefore, if you missed the entrance to any deal and write to us with a question whether it is worth entering the current ones, the answer will always be the same - if you are ready to take a risk. In this case see point 7.

The guide will be updated over time. If you have read it several times and still have questions - write to us. If the questions are repeated, we will complete the guide. Hugs.

P.S: Important. One of the most valuable lessons I have learned is this.

Regularly withdraw as much profit as possible from the trading account into real money and assets.

It is possible to stop the breakdowns to zero and realize the growth of your material wealth with the help of trading only by taking chips from the table, converting virtual money into real money and investing what you earn on the market in tangible assets outside the market.

Considering the super profits that the market allows you to make now - this advice will be especially relevant in 2021.

I strongly recommend that you heed it. This approach guarantees that when you lose control of yourself, you will not be saying goodbye to all of your money, but only a small part of it.

Endless profitable trading is not possible. Even the best traders break down sooner or later.

But it is quite realistic to trade profitably for a certain period of time and earn enough money for a comfortable life. After all, the ultimate goal of trading is to improve the quality of one's life by acquiring assets, and this is what a trader must achieve by all means.

Withdrawing money earned on the market and investing it in real estate, business, other assets capable of generating a constant, stable income will take the trader to the next, higher level.

With the creation of "unburnable sums" in the form of tangible assets and cache, the index of the trader's total capital will look as shown in the picture below.

Some people in the market sometimes manage to turn tens of thousands of dollars into hundreds of thousands or even more than a million dollars.

But just as quickly, they often lose every single cent.

Remember that the battle is not won when you have a large and impressive sum in your account, but only when you withdraw that sum in real money and invest it in a reliable asset.

Knowing how to choose a good, reliable and sufficiently profitable asset is also part of the game.

1. Keep software on the PC, if you are honored to buy a server - set three-level protection on the server. Use only trustworthy hosting like Hetzner/Contabo.

2. Keep private keys on your hard drive/separate laptop where you don't surf the Internet.

3. Store private keys for software only in encrypted form, keep the password in your head or on paper (no password in notes/favorites).

4. Install keystroke encryption software. I recommend https://www.qfxsoftware.com. It encrypts the clipboard, and if you have holes in your browser, it is very useful when copying private keys, even if you catch a trojan on your machine, your logs will be unreadable. This is the magic of KeyScrambler.

5. Do not download suspicious files, only licensed applications/software.

6. Do not keep large funds on wallets - enough 0.005 and 0.01 ETH, maximum 0.03. More funds do not require projects, volumes can be swap and withdrawn. Keep big money only on cold wallet/storage.

7. Antivirus - Malwarebytes is good. We use Microsoft Defender + https://www.veracrypt.fr/en/Home.html.

8. Do not sign suspicious transactions, double check WHAT you are signing
