🚨 Attention: Futures are a high-risk instrument. But if you act according to the rules — you can earn.
📌 1. What are futures?
These are contracts to buy/sell an asset in the future at the current price.
- You can trade LONG (↑) and SHORT (↓)
- There is leverage (up to 125x, but for beginners — no more than 5-10x!)
- High volatility = you can quickly earn or lose.
📊 2. How to get started? (step by step)
🔹 Step 1. Open a futures account
1. Go to Binance → Futures (Derivatives).
2. Take the test (if required).
3. Enable "Cross-margin" (mode for beginners).
🔹 Step 2. Choose a coin and leverage
- Best pairs for beginners: BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT (high liquidity).
- Leverage: 2x–5x (no more!).
🔹 Step 3. Open a trade
- LONG (↑) — if you expect growth.
- SHORT (↓) — if you expect a decline.
- Position size: No more than 10–20% of the deposit.
🔹 Step 4. Set stop-loss and take-profit
- Stop-loss — automatically closes the trade at a loss (for example, -10%).
- Take-profit — secures profit (for example, +20%).
💡 3. Strategies for beginners
📈 Strategy 1: "Trend is your friend"
- Essence: Trade only according to the trend.
- How?
- If the price is above the moving average (MA 50) — only LONG.
- If lower — only SHORT.
- Example: BTC broke MA50 upwards → Open LONG with 3x leverage.
📉 Strategy 2: "Bouncing off levels"
- Essence: Buy at support, sell at resistance.
- How?
- Find key levels (where the price reversed before).
- Open LONG at support, SHORT at resistance.
⚡ Strategy 3: "Scalping 1–5 minutes"
- Essence: Close trades in 1–5 min with small profit.
- How?
- Use indicators (RSI, MACD).
- Enter when oversold (RSI <30) or overbought (RSI >70).
💣 4. Main mistakes (losing deposit)
❌ Trading without a stop-loss → Liquidation in seconds.
❌ Too much leverage (20x–50x) → Even a small pullback kills the position.
❌ Emotional trades (FOMO, panic) → Loss of control.
❌ Trading against the trend → "Catching knives" = quick loss.
📢 5. How to minimize risks?
✅ Risk per trade — no more than 1–2% of the deposit.
✅ Always set a stop-loss (5–10%).
✅ Do not increase leverage after losses.
✅ Analyze each trade.
🚀 Your action plan:
1. Start with a demo account (if you're afraid).
2. First trades — with 2x–3x leverage.
3. Secure profits at 10–20%.
4. Increase the deposit only after 5–10 successful trades.
