Every day I see many posts with questions from newbies, questions that could easily be answered with an internet search, or even with AI, but they prefer to post here. And with that, they end up attracting scammers with promises and miracle recipes.
Believe me, there is no magic recipe for winning in this market. What there is is study, discipline and emotional control. Learning how to perform basic operations is the first part, then understanding how to create more advanced orders, such as Stop Loss to protect the operation, or a Trailing Stop to guarantee better profits. And then, learning how to analyze a chart, which is CRUCIAL for your decision-making. I see a lot of new people buying at the top, and I've already explained about this here.
If you're just starting out, don't despair. The market will continue here, so first study how the operations work to avoid major losses.
In futures markets, unlike the traditional Spot market, we can trade against a cryptocurrency. That is, if it is falling in price, we can make money.
But not everything is rosy. Let's quickly understand how each type of market works:
Spot Market
The Spot market is the traditional market. You buy a cryptocurrency and become its owner. No matter how much it depreciates, you will always have that amount of the coin for the price paid. This means that the balance of your wallet will rise and fall as the price of the cryptocurrency fluctuates. You only sell at a loss if you decide to do so. This is the standard market in which most people operate, especially beginners. Here, you buy and wait for the price to rise — a simple investment logic.
Futures Market
Unlike the Spot market, where you buy the coin, in the Futures market you basically bet whether the price of the coin will rise or fall. In this market, there are contracts with a set time or perpetual contracts (which are the most used by most traders).
In the futures market, you can enter a LONG position (betting that the price will rise) or SHORT (betting that the price will fall). The “cherry on top” in the Futures market is financial leverage. This means you can operate with a larger amount than your available balance. For example, if you have 10 USDT and use 10x leverage, you will be operating with 100 USDT, as the exchange “lends” you the 90 USDT to operate. Each broker has its own funding methods.
Caution!
However, not everything is so simple. The higher the leverage, the greater the risk of liquidation. The broker will never lose money. Liquidation occurs when your margin of guarantee is exhausted. Therefore, in futures markets, the use of STOP is practically mandatory — just like in the Spot market, which can also involve risk, but with different characteristics.
In COIN futures, you can work directly with leveraged cryptocurrency, unlike USDT Futures, which use the stable coin USDT.
For example, imagine that you have 0.5 SOL, and you want to have 1 SOL. Just move your Solanas from the Spot wallet to COIN futures, and then trade with leveraged currency. Your profits will be in Solanas!
HOWEVER! Not everything is perfect, just like in traditional USDT futures, if you go against your position you can be liquidated and lose your coins! So as I explain in the instructions, if you want security, focus only on the traditional Spot market. Only go to futures markets if you understand the high risk involved in this modality.
If you are a novice in the world of cryptocurrencies, you have surely seen people commenting on names of coins that you have never even heard of. This happens because they are smart contract coins, coins that are traded on the DEX, such as:
*PancakeSwap, if it is coins from the BSC network *Raydium, if it is from SOLANA *Uniswap, if it is from ETHEREUM Among other networks we have out there. When we start operating in the world of cryptocurrencies, by default, we go to the easy and most known mode: Create an account on a centralized exchange (CEX), such as Binance for example, which is the largest in the world. Once the account is created on the Exchange, we can easily trade currencies in the Spot market mode. Everything is perfect, you have the platform showing you the most known and consolidated coins, market tools, you can deposit and withdraw fiat currency, everything is already laid out to make your life easier.
- Yesterday I deposited R$ 994,46 at Binance - I bought everything in USDT, it gave 167.7 USDT's - I moved everything to the Futures wallet
I TOOK A PUT4 OF A LOSS OF 61.65 USDT!
- I was left with only 106.05 USDT - I bought everything in SOL and went to play in the DEX's to recover - I entered a coin with U$ 95.36 and exited with U$ 250.90!
So:
- 167.7 USDT turned into 106.05 - 106.05 turned into 258.89 - R$ 994,46 is now R$ 1.534
Summary: Not everything is rosy, everyone loses in this market. If someone tells you they never lose, they are lying, at least trying to push some course. There is no magic recipe. It's up to you to have emotional control and decide how you will deal with your losses.
In Decentralized Finance (DEX), the coins have low market cap, which is why the chances of doubling in a short period of time are greater than in already consolidated coins from CEX. However, as already explained in instructions: THE RISK IS HIGHER!
When it comes to DEX, my focus today is on RAYDIUM, that is, small coins from the smart contract of the network of #SOLANA
However, DEX for me is only in rare cases. The main focus is still Futures.
Note: some didn’t understand what I meant with this post... you will never only win in this market, don’t be fooled by promises from gurus. In internet groups, they tend to only show the green PNL prints, sometimes even hiding balance, that is, the guy sometimes leveraged U$ 0.50 cents at 125x to print an absurd gain and many get deceived. They never show the loss to keep the ego intact. As I have said in several videos, even if you master 100% how the market works, you will still have losses. This is a fact. The market sometimes simply isn’t favorable for trading, whether Long or Short, so always remember that famous phrase:
Many people are talking about $RED who cannot sell or buy. I thought this was a Brazilian problem, but I saw several international posts too.. People simply do not read! They buy on FOMO without knowing what it is about. If they had read the data provided by Binance itself, they would know that there will be limits on transactions in the coming hours and days.
I saw a post from a woman laughing at others saying she already bought RED yesterday and for a much cheaper price, and in the image, a photo of a chart on DEXScreener! People make an effort to fall into scams.
Nowadays, anyone can easily create their own token in less than 1 minute for free. When Binance says it will list a cryptocurrency, the first thing they do is create coins with the same name, a honey pot to catch inexperienced greedy people. Then the person goes and searches for the name outside of Binance (which is already wrong, as Binance itself says it is its own unique listing).
In summary: people love to fall for scams.
It would just take a simple 3-minute read of the project to know how it works.
Oh, and of course: NEVER BUY ON LAUNCH LIKE THIS. Wait for the bloodbath to pass, and for the coin to stabilize if you want to buy. Because there is a serious risk of getting stuck at the top.
In times of falling $BTC to be safer, opt for strong currencies in relation to BTC. This is done using the Delta and Exponential BTC calculation. Below, for example, is the list in order of the strongest cryptocurrencies in relation to BTC in 24H. The Panel used is from XDecow, which I highly recommend for those who trade daily.
There is fat on both sides, just wait to see where the market will want to go.
Remember: Not trading is also trading.
Those who already know how to trade in Futures have been shorting all week, but those who only trade in Spot have been shorting a lot of time in this calm! Wait for a consolidation or create a TrailingStop buy order to ensure buying as cheaply as possible in case of a drop.
I just released instructions on how to use the indicator on TradingView. However, you can do this on Binance by simply adding two EMAs: 9 and 21. That's it!
Keep EMA9 in green, and EMA21 in red. When the green line goes above the red line, the trend is for the price to rise. When the red line goes above the green line, the trend is for it to fall! This can be used on several timeframes.
However, as explained, there are several other factors that should corroborate this signal: Volume, LTA/LTB/LSR, OI, etc. But in simple terms, these two moving averages already help beginners a lot in making decisions in the analysis.
Also use EMA200 to check the strength of the movement and possible StopLoss points.
#Dólar continues to fall! As instructed in the YouTube classes, the ideal when creating a purchase order in SPOT is to use a Trailing Stop, that is, while the order is falling, it does not execute; if it threatened to rise, it will be executed.
The person who used a simple limit order when it was R$ 5.94 paid a high price, while the person who created a TrailingStop to buy from R$ 5.94 paid much less. If they placed it at 1%, the person would still have the order without execution and could buy now at R$ 5.75!
Note: Never buy cryptocurrency in BRL pairs! When sending reais to the broker, the first thing to do is always buy dollars, in this case, USDT. You have a much wider range of trading pairs, not to mention that the liquidity is much higher than that of the BRL pair.
Imagine this: Who trades with reais? Only Brazilians. Now, who trades with dollars? THE WHOLE WORLD! That's why the liquidity of BRL currencies is terrible, while those with USDT are the best, not to mention that if you want to trade on any other CEX or DEX, $USDT is widely accepted everywhere, while BRL will only be accepted by CEXs that have mandatory KYC for Brazilians.
It's very common in this field for people to always assume that anyone who tries to help them is trying to scam them or sell courses with magic recipes.
I don't sell any courses, quite the opposite, all my classes are available for free on my YouTube channel, you can even confirm this by pinning the post.
In no class do I say that this universe is easy. I always inform about the risks, especially to beginners. That's why all the instructions are aimed precisely at beginners, with easy-to-understand teaching methods.
Imagine when beginners discover that they can make money even if the currency falls.
By default, when people enter this universe, they go to the Spot market. Where the rule is simple: Buy as cheaply as possible, to sell as expensively as possible.
However, when they become more advanced, they go to the professional market: Futures Markets. Here in Futures you have a LONG position, which has the same logic as Spot: you buy and sell when it goes up. And we also have the SHORT position, where you operate short, that is, you enter the position and if the currency continues to fall in price, you make money!
And do you want to know what's best? Here you operate in a leveraged manner! In other words, if you only have US$10 you can operate positions of U$ 10K!
In other words, you can make a much larger profit, in a short space of time, and even with a small bankroll.
BUT IT'S NOT ALL ROSES! And now I'm going to destroy your dreams: Here's the liquidation point.
When you operate with leverage, the broker is basically lending you money. So when your margin is about to run out, a fine is applied and the broker liquidates your position.
That's why futures are something you should only trade after you've fully mastered Spot, already know how to do graphical analysis, etc.
In futures we have:
Isolated margin: Only the amount that entered the position is liquidated. However, the liquidation point is closer.
Cross margin: ALL BALANCE IN THE FUTURES PORTFOLIO IS LIQUIDATED! However, its liquidation point is further away.
With 1 USDT you can already trade futures to test.
I have instructions here showing in practice how each one works.
One thing is for sure: You only enter futures with a Stop already activated!
Newbies are seeing cryptocurrencies in the red without understanding their cycles, and they immediately call it a “scam”. Gentlemen, Binance is the largest CEX in the world, trading currencies here is not the same as trading on DEXs. In decentralized finance, yes, there are scams every second. Here, if you are losing a lot, it is because you are doing everything wrong:
- You are buying at the top of the extended candle, just because of FOMO
- You don’t know how to set a Stop Loss to lock in profits or establish a maximum loss
- You are buying without doing a basic technical analysis.
Cryptocurrencies, like any other financial asset, will always fall, nothing will rise forever, that is not how things work. And the ones who feed this market are inexperienced people who accumulate losses and do not try to study how it works.
BTC falls, taking the entire market with it, and people are crying here!
Guys, learn once and for all that it is at times like these that you analyze your entries! People make a serious mistake of only wanting to enter when there is a high and then start crying when there are corrections.
The experienced ones are at this very moment analyzing to position their entries, buying from people like you, who are selling at a loss because they don't know how to buy at the right time.
$BTC is the father and mother of the cryptocurrency market. When it falls, practically the entire market falls with it, which is the perfect time for you to start thinking about buying, because when it goes up, the market will also want to go up with it.
There are a lot of newbies getting into cryptocurrencies without knowing basic concepts, and unfortunately these people will only lose money here. Even the most experienced take losses with these movements, imagine the newbie who doesn't even know how to use a Stop Loss.
If you don't learn this, you will never make a profit and will always be crying on social media. Learn to buy at the bottom to sell at the top, and not the other way around.
The posts I made criticizing Bulldogito seemed to be popular with people. I saw several very similar posts, probably people took my text, threw it into some AI and asked it to summarize it, creating something similar lol
