🎢 Futures? The most common mistake (that I also made)
Once I wrote in a post: "investing in futures is a mistake if you don't know how it works"…
And I stand by it.
Because it's not that futures are bad, it's that it's something else.
💥 In spot, you buy an asset and you own it.
🧨 In futures, you don't buy the asset, you make a contract betting on the price.
Does it go up? You win. Does it go down? You lose.
And the opposite is also true. You can win if the price goes down… but you need to know what you're doing.
The problem is not the market. It's entering without a strategy, without understanding leverage, liquidations, or margin.
🧠 Futures are like driving on a wet road.
Is it dangerous? Only if you don't know how to brake, accelerate, or take turns.
If you still don't know:
What a cross margin vs isolated margin is
How liquidation is calculated
How to set a real stop loss Then breathe, learn, and don't invest there yet.
👉 I prefer to learn slowly, but not burn my account out of pride.
Did you already know how it works or did you also confuse it with spot?
