⚙️ How to Trade Futures on Binance With Proper Risk Control
Futures trading can multiply your profits or your losses.
The difference between winning and wiping out? Risk control.
Here's a clear beginner-friendly breakdown to trade Binance Futures safely:
🔹 Step 1: Start Small — Use 1–5× Leverage
❌ Don’t start with 20× or 50×.
✅ Use low leverage to survive volatility.
On Binance, you can set leverage per pair.
Example:
BTC/USDT → Use 3×
PEPE/USDT → Use max 2× (it’s volatile)
🔹 Step 2: Always Use Stop-Loss
Before entering any position, ask:
Where am I wrong?
How much % am I willing to lose (1–2%)?
Use the stop-limit or stop-market order types.
🔹 Step 3: Risk Only a Small % Per Trade
Never risk your whole account. Use this formula:
🧠 Risk = Account × %Loss × Leverage
Example:
Account: $100
Risk: 2%
Leverage: 5×
➤ You should enter with $10 (not $100)
🔹 Step 4: Use TP Zones, Don’t Get Greedy
Set Take Profit 1 (TP1) and TP2 using structure or Fib levels.
Lock in gains early — never go for "all or nothing."
✅ Example Trade Plan (SOL/USDT):
Entry: $186
SL: $180
TP1: $192
TP2: $198
Leverage: 3×
Risk: 2% of account
