One of the most important steps to success in futures trading is choosing the right currency.
Not every currency is suitable... and not all trends are worth the risk.
Let me explain how to choose the smart currency 👇
✅ 1. Choose a currency with high trading volume (High Volume)
🔹 Currencies with high liquidity have fast order execution
🔹 Reduce sudden price slippages
🔹 Preferred by top traders and institutions
📉 Example: BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB
💡 How do you know?
Go to Binance → Futures tab → Sort currencies by 'Volume'
⸻
📊 2. Focus on currencies with a clear trend
🔸 Is the market bullish or bearish?
🔸 Avoid currencies that are in a sideways fluctuation
📍 Practical advice:
– Use indicators like: Moving Average or MACD
– If the price is above the 200 moving average = uptrend
– If the price is below = downtrend
⸻
🔥 3. Look for the 'active currency of the day'
🔺 Currencies that have made a significant move during the day are interesting
🔺 Opportunity for quick entry and quick exit with strong profits
📱 In Binance:
Follow the 'Top Gainers' and 'Top Losers' lists
⸻
🧠 4. Be smart and avoid low-volume currencies
🚫 Low-volume currencies can cause significant losses due to violent and unexpected moves
🚫 The spread is large – which means you enter the trade at a loss from the start!
⸻
