I just saw many new friends asking about what Futu is and how to trade it safely, so today I’m sharing some of my personal experiences for your reference.

First, it’s important to understand what Futu is. It’s a leveraged trading method on exchanges, where you place orders based on price trend predictions—Long if you forecast an increase, Short if you predict a decrease. Almost all coin trading platforms support this feature, although not all coins are listed for Futures trading.

But this also involves significant risks, especially for beginners. The reason is that the maximum leverage can go up to x100. This concept of leverage means you borrow money based on your initial capital. For example, if you have $1 and use x100 leverage, you can borrow an additional $99 to have $100 to trade. The problem is, if you choose the wrong direction and incur losses up to your initial capital, your position will be liquidated—losing 100% of your original money. So, before trading Futures, you need to thoroughly understand this type of trading.

I want to share some risk control methods when trading Futures. First, there are two important terms: SL (Stop Loss) and TP (Take Profit). Most exchanges have these features automated, helping you avoid liquidation due to not taking profits in time. When placing orders, master these two features well.

Regarding my personal strategy, I’ve derived a few principles from my own experience:

If trading BTC, only use leverage up to x5. For ETH and other altcoins, x3 or lower is safer. Divide your capital into multiple rounds to increase your ability to withstand losses. Most importantly, pay attention to the liquidation point—try to keep it as far away as possible, so you don’t get a liquidation email just after opening the app.

In summary, these are just my shared experiences, not investment advice. You should do thorough research before participating in trading. Follow me for more signals and analysis.
