$SOL The reason why some of us are in huge losses is that we were never guided about how and in which tokens we should invest in! Personally I have been learning a lot and gaining experience as I learn from my mistakes.
The biggest mistake I regret is investing in tokens that have no real world usage, tokens that aren't in the first 20 in market cap rankings.
I traded with excitement on those shit tokens that were currently pumping and guess what, No sooner did i make an entry when they dipped, till now am waiting for some of them to recover.
My advice; Focus on the top ten or 20 tokens in the market cap rankings, those are the real value tokens that will never dip drastically nor will they be delisted.
$SUPER I lost lots of money While Short Selling pumped tokens.
$SUPER is on fire already up by 80%.
Short selling pumped tokens used to be my strategy targeting the highest resistance especially the one of the 3days time frame.
The resistance of this One is 0.84 on the 3 days time frame.
I made some profits from those tokens that respected the resistance and they retraced
But also lost a lot to those with higher momentum that surpassed the resistance and moved way more up. The strategy is really profitable to those with higher capital who can sustain a loss of further 100% up.
For small capital guys, don't Short pumping tokens.
Unless you do in Isolated margin and willing to lose that money. that's a bet.
Why do traders with $10k+ still chase #FUTURES instead of holding $BTC $ETH or $BNB on #SPORT 😏
✍ This market pullback has revealed many rich traders who traded tokens with higher leverage and they later went against them.
✍ Just scroll down, you'll find many in losses of over $10000+
✍ Of course with their huge USDS, They have HELD ON as they wait for the market to RECOVER 😜 I pray it does soon.
✍That's TRUST and CONFIDENCE on the margin. moreover trading in #Crossmargin
✔ Low margin (Poor) traders don't try to hold, you'll easily be liquidated.
✍ If I Had $2k+, My choice would be simple: stick to Spot Trading,BTC or other big tokens.
✍ No Liquidation Risk, Steady Growth, Peace Of Mind.
So why do many traders with big capital still prefer futures?
✍ Greed For Faster Gains, eg $10000 capital
5% on spot BTC = $500 with 10x leverage (10000 × 10)× 5%= $5,000.
✍ Ohh it sounds interesting if it's moving your way, $5000 profits for a just a 5% which is achievable in minutes. But
The same applies when it's moving against you 😳😱 continued downtrend may later wipe them out especially with that higher leverage they use.
✍ Addiction To Volatility – futures feels like a casino,quick gains or losses,spot feels “SLOW.”and BORING😑
✍Overconfidence – they believe they can outsmart liquidation due to higher margin.
✍ SOCIAL HYPE – everywhere you see “I made $20k on 50x leverage,”
But Rarely
✍“I held BTC for 3 years and doubled my money.”
✍THE TRAP – Once someone wins big on leverage, they keep chasing it, even if they later lose everything for example traders who lost big on #MYX saga, and many others on newly listed tokens
The Truth Is
✍Most futures traders are GAMBLING, while smart money quietly buys BTC,ETH,#XRP ,SOL and other top altos on spot and waits.
Why Do Newly Listed Futures Tokens Always Trap Us?
I need to share my frustration about these newly listed tokens on Binance Futures.
Whenever a new token comes out, it looks attractive and traders rush in.
But let’s be honest—how many of us actually win on them?
It feels like no matter which side you take, the market is moved against you.
They rise slowly in one clear direction, but the moment you enter a trade, sudden violent candles appear.
If you long, they dump hard until you’re liquidated.
If you short, they pump in seconds and wash you out. After trapping traders, they continue their “planned” trend.
Look at the example in the screenshot—this trader went in with confidence, but from his entry point the price only dumped nonstop.
It’s like the system ensures your account is drained before the market resumes.
Lately, every new listing looks the same,losses after losses for retail traders. It raises a serious concern: are these new tokens just Traps For Us?
I traded some tokens like $BARD $HEMI and many others and all have been behaving like there's someone behind the white curtains washing my entry and direction.
I really feel sorry for this guy down and I pray he survives.
Otherwise for me personally, I gave up on a shit new tokens.
Has anyone here found success trading these new listings, or is everyone facing the same painful experience?
$COAI peace✌
Note; Even though you got a huge margin that you trust, at least trade in #IsolatedMargin so that you accept the losses or get gains. #MarketPullback
Why Do Tokens Move Fast Against You, but Slow in Your Favor?
Have you ever noticed that when a token goes against your position, it seems to move with lightning speed, but when it finally goes in your favor, the gains crawl up slowly and pull back often? 🤔
This is one of the most frustrating experiences for me.
within a minute after your entry, the token pumps without any retracements.
Your losses accumulate speedily, in no second, your losses are already -$500+ 😦😦😦 What ❓❓❓❓
You become confused as you don't know what to do next.
'Should I cut' or "Hold" 😥
Is it gonna come back to my entry or proceed? you start questioning yourself.
Remember you only wanted $20 or even less but now you've been tricked.
You don't want to lose that much money and hope starts to develop in you that it's gonna come back.
Once it retraces, I will cut surely or reduce the position,but let me tell you this, It's GONNA continue pumping and DOUBLE or TRIPLE the Loss 😡🥵
This is the worst feeling, as you become restless😫,lose appetite, lose sleep, get glued to your phone screen, increased blood pressure💔😖 with higher heartbeats.
At this very time, your prayers are just to let the token retrace a little but NAH
It's gonna continue stretching you, watching your all margin depreciating in a high speed.
At the end, you got nothing to do except to save a little or get liquidated. 🥺
The Funny Part Is Here,
🤣Once you exit to save that little money, it will lose momentum and retrace with higher speed past your was entry.
Regrets but still if you had stayed, they would've liquidated you.
Note;I don't have any advise for you, you'll surely experience this yourself. And you very well know what to do.
Yes, you heard me right, a few months ago, I joined futures trading, started learning and mastering everything.
I started with $100,traded for months and after doubling it , I lost $300 in a single trade.
I deposited again with hope of not making the same mistake again that had led me to lose that in the first place.
Started collecting, little little money with everything in place, risk management there so, stop loss, good analysis.
I lost as I made more, recovered everything reaching $500 profits and guess what ❓😧😧😧
The next day, I was liquidated for more than $1000,for no reason,that's when everything changed, lost ¾ of my capital, confidence, developed fear, and doubt.
I didn't do anything wrong, they simply pumped the token I had shorted with zero retrecement in a minute all was gone.
I never gave up, I started all over again with $100 but this time round with great fear of losing,Inconfident and lack of trust.
Reduced my leverage to 2 and starting very small with a plan like before, DCA, stop loss, take profit, all in place.
After collecting some little money from $100 to 350 in struggle of 7mths.
All has been taken again, stop losses hit, tokens over go the other way round in a jumping state immediately i make an entry(just jumping not even rising) leading to liquidations.
At one moment I thought maybe Futures trading is spiritual where you can't move away with their money. But guys here are making lots from there.
The good thing is I have tried, no one will blame me for not trying, I will step back for now, or go back to #Sporttrading .
I think of coming back in futures for only $BTC long trade after he has dipped to $100k or below.
but still when you scroll on square here, you'll find many trapped in BTC as well.
I ran away from Sport ,for trading tokens and they dip for centuries,i buy the dip to DCA and the dip continues.
And I thought I will short in #FutureTarding and enjoy the dipping but it's like we're seen
$LINEA Have been here for a little while and have got some experience about the effects of sport listings to already existing tokens in futures.
For some of you who have been with me since I started, you can relate since I wrote a lot of complaining posts about those traders who know but stay quiet for a bigger opportunity and later they post their huge wins.
So for today, there's a listing of $LINEA tokens on sport and it already exists in futures though lagging and very down.
There's a certain token I don't remember it's name but it was like this one and on its sport listing, it skyrocketed to the 🚀🚀🚀🚀 moon.
The decision is in your hand to try to trade it or keep watching.
I don't give signals only am a well wisher who wants all of us to win.
