How not to lose your deposit on futures and where to start as a beginner
Beginner traders often come to the exchange with hopes of quickly making money on futures, but instead of profits, they lose their deposit in a couple of days. Why? High leverage, lack of strategy, trading on emotions.

🔥 Major mistakes:
Leverage (10x and above) — amplifies not only profits but also losses.
No stop-losses — one unsuccessful trade can wipe out the account.
Intuitive trading — without strategy and analysis.
---
✅ How to preserve capital:
Start with low leverage (1x–2x) or trade without it.
Always set stop-losses and manage risks.
Keep a trading journal and analyze your mistakes.
Do not risk more than 1-2% of your deposit per day.

🟢 Safer to start with spot trading
Spot trading — buying an asset without leverage. Risks are lower, there is no liquidation. It is great for learning and long-term capital growth. The downside is lower returns, but stability is more important at the start.

🛌 Passive methods:
Staking — "freezing" cryptocurrency with an income of 3-20% per annum.
HODL — buying promising coins with the aim of holding them for the long term.
