“Why 90% of Futures Traders Lose Money
It’s not always about being wrong — it’s about being wrecked by leverage.
Here’s what usually causes liquidation:
Over-leveraging – 25x sounds exciting… until a tiny 3% move nukes your entire position.
No stop-loss – Futures is fast. If you don’t cut losses, the market will do it for you (and worse).
Revenge trading – Lost one trade? Don’t chase it back. Emotions are expensive in leveraged markets.
Ignoring funding rates – Going long in a high positive funding market? You’re paying to stay in the trade.
Futures aren’t a casino. They’re a weapon — if used with precision.

2. “Long vs Short — Here’s How Pros Actually Decide
It’s not about guessing direction — it’s about recognizing setups.
When to go long
– Price breaks key resistance with volume
– Positive funding flips to negative (contrarian edge)
– BTC dominance drops while altcoin volume rises
When to go short
– Parabolic pump with no support zones
– Open interest spikes with flat price = trap forming
– Overbought + negative divergence = caution zone
👀 Pro tip: Watch liquidity zones, not just RSI and MACD.
You’re not trading coins. You’re trading human psychology, just faster.

⛓️ 3. “Liquidation Levels Explained (Like You’re 12) 💥”
Ever wonder why your position gets wiped even when you're “mostly right”?
Here’s how liquidations work:
📉 You open a 10x long on #ETH at $3,000
– If price drops ~10%, you’re liquidated
– Why? Your margin can’t cover the borrowed amount anymore
Now imagine this:
Thousands of traders long at the same zone. What happens?
🔻 Price hunts down to that zone
🔄 Massive liquidations
🚀 Market bounces right after
It’s not personal — it’s liquidity.
Whales don’t need to be right, they just need to force you out.
Protect yourself:
✅ Use tight risk
✅ Respect support/resistance
✅ Avoid crowd zones

4. “Futures Metrics You Should Check Before Entering Any Trade
Don’t trade blind. These 4 metrics can save your capital:
Open Interest (OI)
– Rising OI = fresh positions
– Flat OI + big price move = spot-driven
– Spiking OI = potential trap
Funding Rate
– Positive = longs pay shorts (overheated)
– Negative = shorts pay longs (fear zone)
– Use to fade the crowd
Long/Short Ratio
– 70%+ longs? 🤔 Possible short squeeze incoming
– 70%+ shorts? Watch for bounce
Liquidation Map (e.g. Coinglass)
– Know where the pain points are — that’s where price often heads.
The edge isn’t just TA. It’s data-driven positioning.
