Trading futures is not the same as buying and selling cryptocurrency. Futures are more complicated and have a greater yield potential. Things go north and south very quickly. Do it right, you’re very profitable. Do it wrong and you risk losing your capital.
Establish and follow some basic rules, for example:
risk no more than a 2-3% percent of your entire trading capital on any single trade.
read and understand signals
analyze the market to see on what basis I agree with a signal
determine max capital risk before I take each trade
calculate an entry and stop-loss in accordance with maximum risk appetite
only enter a trade when confident I did the above
monitor my trade continuously
I will record my trade in a trade log for later review
Long = enter a long position
Short = enter a short position
Stop loss = set your stop loss
RT = resistance trendline
DCA = dollar cost average
