๐ฅ๐95% of Traders Lose with Futures โ Be Part of the 5% Who Winโ
Most futures traders lose big โ sometimes everything โ because of avoidable mistakes. If you're using leverage, this might be the most important guide you read.
1. The Leverage Trap
Mistake: โLetโs go 50x and get rich fast!โ
Reality: A 2% move against you, and your position is wiped out.
Fix: Stick to max 5x leverage, especially if you're new. Use tight stop-losses (5โ8%) and start with small amounts like $10โ$50 to stay safe.
Your turn: Ever got liquidated? Share your horror story.
2. Following Signal โGurusโ
Mistake: โLONG BTC now!โ โ No context, no logic. You follow blindly and lose big.
Fix: Learn basic technical analysis โ support, resistance, trends. Never follow signals you donโt understand. Avoid paid VIP groups โ most are scams.
Poll: Have you ever paid for trading signals? YES / NO?
3. Emotional Trading
Mistake: FOMO in at highs, panic sell at lows. Sound familiar?
Fix: Always plan entries/exits. Stick to your rules. Use alerts so youโre not glued to the charts making impulsive moves.
Question: Are emotions messing with your trades? YES / NO?
4. Ignoring Market Context
Mistake: Shorting before a major bull run, like a halving event.
Fix: Trade with the trend. Stay informed about macro factors โ Fed news, halvings, CPI reports. If the marketโs unclear, donโt force a trade.
5. Overexposing on a Single Trade
Mistake: Risking 20% per trade โ just 5 losses can drain your account.
Fix: Limit risk to 1โ2% per trade. With $1,000, thatโs only $10โ$20 max risk.
Bonus Pro Tip:
Use a minimum 1:3 Risk/Reward ratio. Even with a 30% win rate, you can stay profitable long-term.
