Trading BTC futures is not hard, the hard part is surviving long-term.
But if you want to survive? You need to know capital management. Otherwise, sooner or later, the market will 'send you off'.
1. NEVER GO ALL IN – HAVING A LOT AND GAMBLING IT ALL MEANS LOSING IT ALL!
For example, you have 1,000 USDT:
• Never use $1,000 margin for a BTC order with x20 leverage.
• If BTC goes down just 5%, your account will be wiped out, no need to say much.
💡The right way is:
• Only use 50 ~100 USDT (i.e. 5%~10% of capital) for each order.
• Leverage x5–x10 is just right.
• You still have $950 left to hold, recover, or trade another order if the first one fails.
2. ALWAYS HAVE A STOP LOSS – IF THERE'S NO SL, DON'T ASK WHY YOUR ACCOUNT GOT WIPED
Example:
• You short BTC at 95,000, set SL at 96,000, TP at 93,000
• Risk $1,000, expect to gain $2,000
=> Risk:reward ratio = 1:2 (Lose 1 - Win 2)
⭐️ At this point, you need to know technical analysis + look at liquidation charts ... to find an entry point.
What if you don't set SL?
• If BTC pumps lightly to 96,000, you are both chasing the peak and likely to wipe your account.
3. MUST DIVIDE CAPITAL ACCORDING TO SCENARIO – DCA OR GO IN ALL AT ONCE, MUST HAVE A PLAN
Example:
You plan to short BTC from the 93k–95k range
• Don't go full position at 93k
• But spread it out:
• 30% in at 93k
• 30% in at 94k
• The remaining 40% waits at 95k if it reaches.
=> This is called dividing capital according to scenarios – if BTC spikes up, you still have money to hold or recover.
SUMMARIZE:
• How much money you have doesn't matter – what matters is how wisely you use it.
• As long as you have money, you can trade; if you're burned out, it's time to quit early.
• Good capital management = less stress, fewer losses, a long life, and opportunities to win big.
