I keep seeing people with big funds on Binance posting “hold” or “close” advice on futures every day.
Here’s the hard truth: if you’re trading based on hype or copying others, you’re setting yourself up to be a permanent loser.
To actually become a trader, stop taking random advice and start focusing on your own strategy:
1. Learn, don’t guess – Understand charts, indicators, and market mechanics before entering trades.
2. Trade your plan, not your emotions – Decide your entry, stop-loss, and take-profit beforehand and stick to it.
3. Manage risk seriously – Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Futures amplify mistakes.
4. Stop following hype – Jumping on every hot tip is a fast track to losing everything.
5. Focus on consistency – Small, calculated wins over time beat unpredictable moonshots.
6. Study winners, but don’t copy blindly – Observe strategies, adapt them, but always make decisions for yourself.
The moment you stop treating futures like a game and start trading like a professional is when you stop being another account posting random “hold” or “close”.
