Key Takeaways from My Recent Futures Trading Experience
Avoid Highly Volatile Tokens
Trading in extremely volatile cryptocurrencies increases your risk of liquidation. Stick with more stable, well-established coins.
Use Low Leverage
Always opt for the lowest leverage possible. High leverage amplifies losses and can wipe out your capital quickly.
Don’t Panic
Be patient. Avoid closing your trade in panic. Only exit when you’re certain the market has moved beyond recovery.
Inject Capital Instead of Closing
If your trade is at risk but you believe the market will recover, and if you have extra funds available, consider injecting more money rather than closing the position prematurely.
Stay Calm Under Pressure
In one of my recent trades, I bought BTC at $106,000. The price dropped to $103,000, but I held my position. Within a week, BTC rose to over $107,500. Despite a small gain of $2.50, the experience taught me the value of patience and confidence in my strategy.
Conclusion
While the profit may seem small, consistency is key. If I follow this strategy for two months, I believe I could make around $500 to $600, which is a solid start for a beginner in futures.
