THE SECRET TO "SURVIVING" WHEN TRADING FUTURES ON BINANCE
Trading futures can yield high profits but is also fraught with risks. Apply these 8 principles immediately to keep your capital safe and maximize profits:
1. STRICT Capital Management
Do not all-in: Only use 10-20% of capital for Futures, keep the rest in stablecoins.
Each trade 1-2% of capital; split orders into multiple entries.
Set a loss limit: For example, stop trading if you lose 5% in a day.
2. LOW Leverage – HIGH Safety
Beginners: 5x-10x. Experienced: Maximum 20x.
Use a Margin Calculator to calculate carefully before entering a trade.
3. MANDATORY STOP-LOSS
Clear Take-Profit: Take profits when reaching targets (e.g., +5%).
Trailing Stop: Automatically adjust Stop-Loss according to the trend.
Note: Always place limit orders; if you use market orders, the trading fees will double; always set prices to the nearest whole number.
4. AVOID HIGH Funding Rate
Funding Rate > 0.1% → Do not hold positions overnight (unless certain of the trend).
5. THOROUGH ANALYSIS – DO NOT FOMO
Determine the trend using MA, RSI, MACD. The simpler the analysis method, the better; it's essentially just up or down.
Coins are affected by BTC prices, so it's recommended to focus on trading BTC or ETH only. You can take profit when the price runs 1K or close according to EMA support.
Do not chase peaks/troughs: Wait for a price pullback or clear breakout.
Keep track of Fed news, Halving, regulation.
6. SMART POSITION HEDGING
Open opposite positions to reduce risk (e.g., Long + Short).
Note: Hedging incurs costs → Use temporarily.
7. STEEL MENTALITY
Do not trade when emotions are high (FOMO/FUD).
Adhere to the plan: Do not arbitrarily move Stop-Loss.
Take a break if you lose 3 trades in a row.
8. LEARN EVERY DAY
Backtest strategies with historical data.
Follow professional traders through livestreams, analysis.
CONCLUSION:
Futures are not a gamble – Winning or losing depends on discipline!
