What are you doing wrong, lossing your capital trading?
It shouldn’t surprise you to know that people incur loss in the market, the only difference between you and them, is they determine their loss while in your case, the market is determining your loss.
Here are few tips in going about risk management. If you’re trading derivatives:
The first I'll advice is, get crypto education before you even think of trading Crypto.
Before every trade make sure you’ve properly done your analysis and observed the chats to confirm which trend the market is going.
Always set your stop loss as well as take profit with every open trade.
Don’t be greedy. Use the Binance calculator (it’s one of the most powerful tool you can have as a beginner trader) to determine your percentage take profit, stop loss, PnL, liquidation and all possible scenario before entering the trade as a beginner.
Use smaller leverage to avoid quick liquidation. I advise 10X and below for beginner traders.
After placing your order, trust your setup, the worst that can happen is your trade hitting stop loss.
Be patient. Don’t panic and close your trade before it hits your stop loss. One time, I closed a trade before it hit my stop loss, only for the trade to reverse and hit my take profit, I was really pained. I had held the trade for 4 days only to close at a loss before hitting stop loss and just when I closed, market reversed just as I was chickening out. Don’t be like me.
Never trade against market trend. You see a market is in an uptrend, and somehow your head is telling you to short the market without even seeing a break of current structure to the downtrend.
If you hit stop loss, take a deep breath and take a stroll out if you know you can’t control yourself from reentering the trade almost immediately. Your emotions plays a critical role in your trade, manage it well.
At the end of each day, reexamine each of your trade and check out reasons it played the way it did, document your lessons, and get better.
"IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO MAKE CONSISTENT GAIN TRADING FUTURE"
please read this. In a business that deals in percentage, you can agree with me that numbers matters. A person trading with $10k and a person trading with $100 won't have the same PnL if there were to stick to the same % in taking profit and also in incurring loss.
Let's use 5% as a case study. 5% of $10k is $500 while 5% of $100 is $5
The attached picture, is a 5% gap for 10X in a coin, margin are close and 99% attainable.
For someone trading with 10k, it's easy to close trade with just 5% in profit, while the person trading $100 might not want to close and would want to wait for like 40 - 50% in profit before closing a trade, now that's where the problem is.
There's no guarantee the market will give you 50% before you take profit, it might just get you liquidated first before going for your TP.
So is it true one can't make consistent gain on the futures market? NO, one can.
How to win the futures game.
1. Trading with bigger capital, this gives you a better return per %( It also gives you leverage not to be liquidated if played right)
2. Learn to discipline your appetite for money, remembering that crypto is not a get rich quick scheme. Trade at a certain percentage each day, and try not o exceed it regardless.
3. If you're Trading small funds, trade low priced coins, it gives better ROI. If $SOL goes from $97 to $98 the profit s not as much as a coin going from $2 to $3.
4. Trade with little leverage, I advise 10X
5. Be patient, patiently wait and confirm your set up before jumping into the market.
Remember, in Crypto, you're your own bank, it is your duty to protect your funds.
Although there are few things to do, such s the best place to day trade, leveraging, and take profits.

How do I make $100 on Binance with $30 as a beginner?
How do I trade cryptocurrency on Binance and make profit? I'm a beginner.I have been trading crypto currencies on Binance for a 6+ years now.As an experienced trader, I can tell you that trading crypto currencies on Binance has been a roller coaster of super crazy highs and lows. I have watched some crypto pairs rise 11,000%, 800%, 200%, and even 5% on some days.At times I have managed to multiply my money 400% in a week and other times I have snagged a 5% profit in a week.I am not a major crypto hodler.Despite the high volatility of cryptos, I have chosen to remain a crypto trader rather than a hodler because I need my money to be circulating in and out of a venture for it to best benefit me and my situation. I simply cannot sit around as I wait months or years even for crypto to rise and for me to watch it go through these crazy highs and lows.For these reasons, I needed a strategy that could best suit me. And after some experience, I came up with this one.I trade my crypto on Binance. After a few months of interacting with the platform, I noticed that at least 50 different trading pairs manage a 10 - 20% rise daily. Some even go to crazy highs of 800% in one day on some occasions! Some selected few manage 100% rises while others do between 40% and 80%.My focus at this point is usually on the ones that rise 10 -20 % daily as they are the regular occurrences and the purpose of this story. This strategy applies only to spot trading.The strategyScenario 1If you put in $1000 on Binance and track a 10% rise on one pair, you will have made $100. Repeat this every day and you will be making $100 a day, every single day. At the time of writing, Several pairs rose at least 10%. And this happens every single day! With your $1000 investment, you only need to pick one pair that pleased you and you fell comfortable with, buy it, wait for it to rise at least 10% then sell it.You can even set a stop limit price on the platform that will automatically do this for you. You just put in the price you wish to exit at and the platform will it sell for you.You will exit the trade with $100 profit give or take as you still have to pay trading fees.A 10% rise in my experience can happen in about a few hours, or less than a minute even depending on the volatility of the pair you chose. On some lucky days, it happens within the first 10 minutes. You make your entry and exit, make your money, leave the platform and move on to other things until the next trading day.Scenario 2If you put in $2000 on Binance and track a 5% rise, you will also make $100 per day every single day.With $2000 in, a 10% rise will guarantee you $200 daily!Scenario 3Put in $500 on Binance and track a 20% rise you will make $100 daily.Remember that they are maker and taker fees that are deductible by Binance for facilitating these transactions.Why put in more money and not less?Imagine putting in $200. For you to make $100, you would need to trade a pair that would rise 50% which is much rarer than a pair rising 10%.Again with $200, you would need to trade at least five different crypto pairs rising 10% a day to make your minimal $100 target. This can be exhausting as the different pairs could be rising at the same time. It could create confusion on which one to choose which could lead to mistakes that will lead to losses.Putting in at least $1000 for this strategy is much safer and less taxing. The more money you put in, the easier it is to make a profit and the less taxing it is to find different pairs at different times to turn in $100 a day.A $5000 investment with a 10% profit strategy could give you $500 daily! Neat, right?Stable coinsMake sure that you are trading your crypto against a stable coin such as USDT, BUSB, BIDR, GBP, etc. That way, after exiting a trade, you store your money in a currency that won’t change in price until you decide to trade again.You don’t want the surprise of finding that your $1000 turned into $340 overnight after storing it in dogecoin. Remember that your $1000 using this strategy is the investment that will make you $100 a day. So you must make sure it remains intact.Of course, there is some probability that dogecoin could rise during that period which could mean more profits for you, but that is not the strategy here.Remember to withdraw or transfer your daily gains if you do not wish to reinvest them.After some days of using this strategy and after a thorough understanding of it, you can adjust your profit margins to 15% or higher to make more money per day.Trading feesYou can also learn to trade past the 10% mark maybe 12 to 14% to allow some room to make the extra money needed to pay the trading fees. This will ensure that your initial $1000 investment remains intact. But this is after you have mastered the strategy.Alternatively, you can set aside some money in BNB if you are using Binance which will not only lower your trading fees but will also ensure that your $1000 initial investment remains intact and that the trading fees are not being deducted from it.Benefits and disadvantages of this strategyThe benefits of this strategy are one, you will not be subject to the sharp drops of cryptos which will help keep your initial investment intact. As you only buy during a rise and sell after your 10 to 20% rise. You exit immediately after you make your money and are cushioned from potential losses due to these sharp drops.As a disadvantage, buying and quickly selling day after day will lead to you paying more fees as you are charged for every time you buy and every time you sell.Also, after targeting only a minimal rise such as 10 or 20%, you might miss out on profits in case the crypto pair you chose rises to 30, 50, 100, or even 200%.Storing your money in a stable coin when you are not trading will also prevent you from making potential profits had you kept it in a coin that rose in value during that time.You also miss out on the power of compounded interest as you only buy a rise and don’t allow your money to multiply. This is assuming that even after you gain your $100 on day one, you trade $1000 on day two and not $1100.Can the strategy work?Yes, the strategy can work but only if you stick to it. As human emotions and your greed ratio can interfere with your trading strategy, self-discipline is super important here. But only to the extent that it makes sense. Tact is also paramount in this case.Imagine a scenario where you set out to trade a 10% rise only. You put in your $1000. You buy and sell after a 10% rise then sit it out. But the crypto pair continues to rise up to 50%. Had you waited before selling in this case, you would have made not just the $100 you initially sought out to make, but $500 on that day.So tact is very important. That’s why a proper understanding of technical analysis is important for a crypto trader to gain maximum returns from their venture.In this specific scenario, for example, a skilled trader would not only make the initial $100 that they sought out to make but an extra $400 minus the trading fees of course. The point is they would still have made their daily $100.How to do it practicallyAnalysisAfter setting out your trading profile on Binance, study the pairs for a few days and observe their patterns. Make sure you observe the ones that rose the highest on that specific day — as in the ones with the highest green percentages in the last 24 hours. This is for beginners. Experienced traders already know this. Experienced traders will also be able to select a trading pair with enough volume to fulfil their buy and sell orders. Selecting trading pairs with low volumes will not work in a trader's favour.In my experience, many crypto pairs will remain in the green for at least two days before they disappear off the top list. Sometimes they keep rising consequently for three days before they start falling. Please note that in between the 24 hr periods they may rise and fall but they pick up after a few hours and keep rising in value for the next three days. Sometimes a specific pair could keep rising for a whole month! Like Shiba Inu did back in 2021 for the month of October. It rose 1128% in one month on Binance!This strategy of buying during a rise and selling after a 10% or 20% rise again will cushion you from the sharp drops during the 24 hr periods.Wake up early/sleep later/ manage your timeYes, even crypto trading requires you to wake up early. Binance uses the UTC. Which give and take is different from the normal periods that the majority in the world uses. For example, when a trading day starts on Binance, it’s 3 am in Nairobi, 1 am in London, 11 pm in New York, etc.Proper time management is required here to take advantage of the daily rise that will guarantee you your daily $100.Make sure you are awake and alert during the time that a 24hr trading period starts on Binance.You will notice that many pairs could rise (and they do rise) 10% at any point during the trading period, but in my experience, trading at the start of a 24 hr period is less problematic using this strategy.Why do so?The behavior of a crypto pair for the first few minutes of a new trading day can tell you a lot about how it is going to behave during the day. Some begin to rise immediately while some begin to fall immediately.They also rise or fall significantly during the first few hours. They might keep rising and falling during the 24 hr period, but the first few hours are the most important and the safest to trade for a person who would wish to use this strategy to make $100 a day trading crypto. So time management is super important.Of course, nothing is guaranteed in crypto trading due to the high volatility of these assets, but catching the pairs on a fresh 24hr trading period is a neat and safe start.How to do so successfullyCheck your greedOf course, making money and the promise of quick returns after some little effort can make us super greedy. Check your greed. If you intend to only make $100 or $200, stick to that. Keeping your money in after you have made your desired target could lead to you witnessing a sharp drop that can make you lose not just your daily gains but even your initial investment.Stick to your strategyAgain together with checking your greed, stick to your trading strategy. Of course, you would wish to make more, but after you have made your targeted money, have the courage and personal discipline to safely get out of the trade.A sharp drop could make you lose all your gains which is super frustrating from personal experience. Better to walk out with 10% gains than to watch all you have made including your initial investment disappear into thin air. Tomorrow is after all another day to make another $100.
I know you're looking for hope, hoping to hear something that will comfort you as the market tanks even further.
Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't have that to give you or anyone.
The rules remains the same: invest only what you can afford to lose.
Advice?
avoid leverage trading or now. If you must use Futures, set strict stop loss to avoid loss of capital. Preserving capital is the most important job now.
Buy dips of very good projects, and hodl.
For the newbies, is good I tell you now, THIS IS NOT THE FIRST MARKET DUMP, NOR THE FIFTH, NEITHER WILL IT BE THE LAST, after every night, there's always a day.
What you need to know about crypto Futures trading.
Futures trade is a type of contract agreement to buy and sell a crypto currency at a particular time in the futures and at a particular price.
It helps traders buy and sell coins they don't own while making profit off it.
It's one of the quickest ways to accumulate funds as a trader, howbeit it being the quickest, it comes with its share of difficulty and uncertainty.
Futures trading also gives you options to borrow from the market (leverage) thereby potentially increasing your Profit as well as your loss multiple folds.
Who should trade future? 1. Any person with adequate understanding of technical and fundamental analysis. 2. Any person with proper guidance on how to to place a futures order and when to place it.
How do you get started?
First you have to understand that the futures market is risky, and you can lose all your money, and agree to this fact, so you can prepare yourself mentally.
Then you've got to understand how futures works by understanding what buttons does what action and by learning to accurately place an order on the futures platform if given a signal on when to either buy or sell a particular coin.
for further update on trading futures, or understanding trading on binance, kindly follow and keep tab with me.
A crypto trader must learn to put his/her emotions in check. Don't trade emotions.
Trust your setup at all cost and while trusting your setup, it is important to know that trusting a setup while running at a loss is very difficult, therefore make sure you use stop loss.
It is better to loss 10% than let your blood pressure raise over a 50% loss especially when you don’t have enough funds to support the trade. Learn to cut your loss.
Don’t be careless, always learn to take profit before screenshots.
Never trade against market trend.
Stay away from assets with too much volatility.
Avoid chasing green candles, especially in spots.
Avoid trading above 10X on futures. This is my personal philosophy, and a safety pin.
Review your trades every day at the end of the day, make corrections and recommendations to making the next trade better.
Be patient. If your entry is good, and you’ve got a good stop loss and a take profit order, then you’re good. Give it time.
You’ll lose some, gain many, let go of your fears.
Avoid the futures market if you less than $50, you'll likely be tempted to use much leverage in order to make more profit, thereby probably blowing your account.
Most of you must have been hearing of bitcoin ETF you're wondering what is this Bitcoin ETF
let's skip the complexities, let me give you a simple explanation.
Imagine you have a special toy, let's call it "Bitcoin." This toy is unique and valuable to many kids. Now, what if you want to share the fun of playing with your special toy with lots of friends without giving them the actual toy? That's where the Bitcoin ETF comes in!
The Bitcoin ETF is like a magical box that represents your special toy. Instead of giving your friends the actual toy, you can give them a piece of the magical box, and they can enjoy the fun of playing with it too! This magical box, or ETF, is traded on the grown-up's playground, the stock market.
So, when adults want to invest in Bitcoin but don't want to deal with the complexities of buying and storing the actual digital currency, they can buy shares of this magical box. Each share represents a piece of the fun, just like your friends getting a piece of the magical box.
And just like when you want to trade toys with your friends, adults can buy and sell these magical boxes on the stock market without actually dealing with the Bitcoin toy directly. It makes playing with the special toy a bit easier for them, and everyone can have a piece of the excitement without having to take care of the actual toy!
WHY THIS?
If bitcoin ETF eventually gets approved, bitcoin will be opened to many more big bags who would want to own a piece of the profit of bitcoin, leading to a large influx of money, this will eventually lead to a surge in bitcoin value.
