#TradingTypes101 Spot Trading Tips (Without Leverage)

1. Focus on good entries in demand zones

Since there is no liquidation, you can buy in strategic areas and hold until the target is achieved.

2. Use DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging)

Suitable if you are playing medium to long-term.

Buy gradually when prices drop → your average price remains safe.

3. Don’t chase rising prices (FOMO)

Entering on breakouts is fine, but make sure volume and candle close have confirmed.

4. Use trend indicators

EMA 50/200 or MA crossover to identify long-term trends.

5. Have a take profit (TP) plan

For example: TP 1 at +10%, TP 2 at +20%, the rest hold.

🔸 Futures Trading Tips (With Leverage)

1. Use Low Leverage

Max 5x for beginners or even start with 1x. High leverage = high risk.

Don’t be tempted by quick profits → prioritize survival.

2. Always Use SL (Stop Loss)

SL is mandatory! Because there is a risk of liquidation.

Place SL outside the market noise, for example below a strong demand zone.

3. Strict Risk Management

Maximum loss per position = 1–2% of total capital.

Use a position calculator before opening a trade.

4. Entry Based on Confirmation

Don’t open trades just because "it seems like it will go up".

Wait for confirmation: valid breakout, SND reaction, candle pattern, etc.

5. Be Aware of Macro Data Release Schedules

Such as CPI, PCE, FOMC can cause whipsaw prices (sharp rises and falls).

6. Don’t Trade When Emotional

Overtrading, revenge trading, and greed = poison for futures accounts.
