You probably have no idea how to trade futures!!!
If you're still losing money trading futures, then you need to read this article carefully. Please strictly follow the points below to ensure you can achieve profitability.
1. Learn to take profits and stop losses
This has been said many times—the market changes rapidly, and you must learn it. It's not that difficult. Taking profits controls your greed; a coin won't rise indefinitely, nor will it fall forever—everything has cycles. So taking profits becomes crucial. Don't say you closed too early and missed out on subsequent gains. Remember, you can't make all the money in the crypto space, but you can lose all the money in your account.
Stop loss means giving up sunk costs, which is also hard. Do you think if you just hold on a bit longer, the trend will reverse? Never think like that. If you're wrong, you're wrong. Admit your mistake, take the punishment, and cut your losses to survive—it hurts, but it can truly save your life.
2. Don't trade too frequently
This is a big no-no. Are you always thinking of catching both long and short trades? Wake up—very few people can do that. Be content with catching one side. Another point is the trading fees. Low leverage is okay, but high leverage hurts. When you open a position, you immediately lose 1-2% of potential profit. You need to ensure this trade will make money; otherwise, opening it is pointless.
3. Learn to stay in cash
When you can't read the market, don't open a position. You might say, "It feels bad to miss the move." Then I'll ask you: is missing the move worse, or losing money worse? Opening a position without understanding the market is no different from gambling.
Trading is about having a probabilistic edge. No one can accurately predict whether it will go up or down. The market changes too fast. It's only about whether it's more likely to go up or down.
4. Take it step by step
Don't try to get rich overnight. This kind of thing is gradual.
The crypto space won't make you rich instantly. For example, with a capital of 100, open a 10x long position, your position is 1000. If it goes up 1 point, you make 10 bucks; up 2 points, you get 20—that's enough for breakfast. Now, if you work in a factory, you earn 15 bucks an hour. Open three or four trades a day with a win rate of 60-70%, and you'll be better off than working in a factory.
