#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 reached.
2. Use DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging)
Suitable if you are trading in the medium-long term.
Buy gradually when the price drops โ your average price remains safe.
3. Don't chase rising prices (FOMO)
Entering on breakouts is fine, but ensure there is confirmation of volume and candle close.
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.

๐ธ Futures Trading Tips (With Leverage)
1. Use Small Leverage
Maximum 5x for beginners or even start with 1x. High leverage = high risk.
Don't be tempted by quick profits โ prioritize survival.
2. Always Use SL (Stop Loss)
SL is mandatory! Because there is a risk of liquidation.
Place SL outside market noise, for example below a strong demand zone.
3. Strict Risk Management
Maximum loss per position = 1โ2% of total capital.
Use a position calculator before opening a trade.
4. Entry Based on Confirmation
Don't open trades just because "it seems to be going up".
Wait for confirmation: valid breakout, support/resistance reaction, candle pattern, etc.
5. Be Aware of Macro Data Release Schedules
Such as CPI, PCE, FOMC can cause price whipsaw (sharp up and down movements).
6. Don't Trade When Emotional
Overtrading, revenge trading, and greed = poison for futures accounts.
