🚀 I dive into the world of futures contracts on Gate: my experience in the #CandyDrop Futures challenge

Futures trading has always seemed to me like something from the world of "professionals" - rapidly changing charts, impulsive price movements, and risks that can burn the deposit within minutes. But with the launch of the CandyDrop Futures challenge on Gate, I decided to try my luck and test the strategy I had been developing in the demo version.
📊 How things went:
1️⃣ I started with a small deposit to reduce risks
2️⃣ I chose the high liquidity pairs - BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT
3️⃣ I used a leverage of ×5 to balance return and security.
4️⃣ I used the "One Trade - One Scenario" rule: either I make a profit at the target, or I exit at the stop loss.
🔥 Result of the first week: +12% for deposits and not a single liquidation! Most valuable - quiet trading when you know your plan.
💡 Tips for Beginners:
Always place stop-loss orders - the market does not forgive negligence.
Don't chase huge profits in a single trade - stability is more important.
Keep a record of transactions - this will help you analyze mistakes.
🎁 My current goal is to reach the top twenty positions and get a share of $500 in futures contract vouchers. Also... 6 BTC in the prize pool - this is a good incentive to fully engage.
📅 Seize the opportunity before August 15!
