📌 Binance Futures trading experience: Slow and steady, surviving is winning
Hello community, I would like to share some real-life experiences when trading Futures on Binance – especially for those new to the market, with the hope of helping everyone avoid painful mistakes and go further on this path.
⚠️ 1. Should only use a maximum leverage of x5
One of the most common mistakes for newcomers is using too high leverage (x20, x50, even x100) to "quickly win quickly". But in reality, this is an extremely dangerous double-edged sword.
The higher the leverage → A small fluctuation range can cause the account to burn.
With x5, you can still make good profits, but reduce the risk of losses due to unexpected fluctuations.
Advice:
“Don’t worry about short-term profits. The top priority is to survive through each trade.”
📊 2. Must have Stop-loss (SL) and clear risk management
Trading without setting SL is self-sabotage.
A trade must always have:
Entry: clear entry point (according to technical analysis)
Stop-loss (SL): the point to cut losses to keep the account alive
Take-profit (TP): profit target
I always adhere to a R:R ratio of at least 1:2 or 1:3, meaning:
Maximum loss of 1 part (1R), but winning can gain 2-3 parts (2-3R)
Can be wrong 50% but still make a profit because the profit-to-risk ratio is higher
✅ Example:
Entry BTC: $60,000
SL: $59,500 (-$500)
TP: $61,500 (+$1,500)
→ R:R = 1:3 → 3 wins are enough to cover for 3 losses
🧠 3. Trade systematically – no fomo, no emotions
Never enter a trade just because you see others doing it, or because you fear "missing the opportunity". I always adhere to the principle:
Technical analysis (TA): use support/resistance, RSI, MACD, EMA
Do not trade when your mindset is unstable: stress, sleepy, angry = take a break
Keep a trading journal: record the reasons for entering trades, results, and lessons learned
🔄 4. Have a clear process before entering trades
My entry checklist:
Market trend: is it an uptrend or downtrend?
Is there a confirmed technical signal yet?
Is the entry point – SL – TP clear yet?
After entering a trade, can you not look at the chart? If not → Don’t enter.
Does the risk of this trade exceed 1-2% of total assets? If so → Reduce volume.
💼 5. Capital management is the key to longevity
My "golden" rule:
Each trade should risk a maximum of 1-2% of the account
Never "all-in" on any trade
Having 10 consecutive wrong trades but still having capital to learn more
📈 6. Only trade when there is a clear advantage (Edge)
Not every market condition should be traded.
I only place trades when:
Good signal + clear trend
Stable market volume (avoid major unexpected news)
Clear chart, no "noise"
"Doing nothing" is also a strategy.
✅ 7. Personal experience & practical advice
Trade less but with higher quality is much better than entering 10 random trades every day.
Better to wait for a nice opportunity for 2-3 days than to take risks every hour.
If the market feels "strange" → take a break, reset your mindset
Don’t force yourself to "make money every day" from Futures – this is not an ATM.
🔚 Conclusion: Futures trading is not for the impatient
If you are new, please:
Start with low leverage
Tight capital management
Have a clear system
And most importantly: respect the market, don’t play with fire.
Winning or losing is normal, surviving is the most important thing.
Thank you for reading this far, wishing everyone effective trading and always keeping a cool head 🧊!
