📘 Real Example: Futures Trade on $SOL (Solana)

⚙️ Setup: Breakout + Retest Strategy

• You notice $SOL is consolidating under strong resistance at $142

• Volume is building → signs of breakout

• Your plan: Enter on retest if breakout confirms

🛠️ Trade Plan

• Entry: $142.20 (after breakout and small pullback)

• Stop-Loss: $139.50 (below last structure low)

• Target: $149.80 (next resistance zone)

• Leverage: 3x

• Capital Used: $1,000

• Risk per trade: 1.5% = $15

📊 If Trade Goes Right:

• $SOL hits your target → you gain $7.60 per coin

• With 3x leverage on ~$1,000:

→ Position size = ~21 SOL

→ Profit = 21 × $7.60 = $159.60

→ ROI = 15.9% on $1,000 (with just 3x!)

🎯Focus:

Win small, lose smaller. That’s how real traders grow accounts over time.
