Futures are a tool for experienced traders. But if you've just started, here are some tips to help you avoid going into the negative from your first trade 💥
1. Don't trade with your entire deposit
A leverage of x10-x50 sounds appealing, but it can also be deadly. Use a maximum of 1-2% of your capital on a single trade. This will protect you from total liquidation.
2. Always set a stop-loss
Without a stop-loss, you're at the mercy of the market. One unexpected pump or dump — and your deposit goes into the negative. Set the rule: entry = immediately set a stop and take profit.
3. Study the chart, not your emotions
Forget about "I feel a rise" or "they said on the channel". Only technical analysis, levels, volumes, trend. Everything else is a path to losses.
4. Trade by strategy, not by mood
Develop a simple strategy: for example, entry from support, exit at resistance. Repeat, improve. Don't jump from one approach to another.
5. Keep an eye on liquidity and news
Don't get into little-known coins with low volume. And don't open trades before important news — volatility can wipe everything out.
💬 Important:
Futures = high returns, but also high risk. You are not obliged to rush. Better to grow slowly than to lose everything quickly.
