Futures Trading: Strategy or Adrenaline Rush?

[Isicrypt202]

Futures trading is such a mixed bag. Some days it feels like unlocking a cheat code, other days it’s just pure chaos. What’s crazy to me is how much of it is psychology. You’re not just battling the charts; you’re battling yourself when to pull the trigger, when to walk away, and when to double down. It’s like every trade is a test of patience and discipline.

Another thing i noticed is that opportunities like subsidies or bonuses in futures trading can make a real difference. Imagine having a $20,000 subsidy pool to cushion your trades. It’s not just about reducing the risk; it’s about giving yourself some breathing room to refine your strategy without burning through your capital. Honestly, I wonder does anyone out here use these kinds of opportunities as part of their approach, coz I know trading futures can be pretty intense

I don't do futures trading as I listen to most of the advice testifying it's the most risky in crypto as it's just like Forex.

But from the advice of the traders who recommends futures was that, the trend is your friend. Don't go trading against the trend as if pretending you know when the market will flip. They recommend waiting til the market flip before casting your long or short bid.

Futures trading is hard as it involved risk, the risks is depends on its leverage. Since it involves money and there is a big risk in it, it is normal that you can trade with emotion. Sometimes you are not aware that you are being controlled by your emotion. That's why you have to back test your strategy before you enter a real trades to boost your confidence in trading. You are being controlled by your emotion only if you are not confident, and it's because you are not sure that your strategy works.

Yeah, trading future contract, is highly risky especially if you are going on a high leverage, in which ways, you just need to stay close to your computer order wise, you may be faced with liquidation notifications everytime, informing you to add funds.
However, to trader future contract, you must be experienced with good knowledge of the market. I have tried future trading, it was difficult because I couldn't wait all day long to take profits, and i always closing my position without profits. I think future is not good for me, but i love margin options.

Whenever you trade with the capital that is not yours then it's more pressure to handle which might get difficult in most situations and futures is nothing different to the Gambling because we just predict the price movements and when it's not we lose which is unlike in spot trading, we can predict and if it goes wrong then nothing happens as long as you didn't sell your crypto assets.

Many people consider futures trading to be a lot riskier and may not surely be for people who are not serious and expert on what they are doing. Trading in itself can be risky but of course the rewards can be so great. Just like many of us here in this forum, I am not also into futures trading all because I am aware of myself and my taste for risk - yes am so conservative by nature and I hate losses. That's why it fascinates me really to hear the good and bad stories by traders who made it here and those who accepted their fate otherwise. As to your question, I am sure it can be both a strategy and an adrenaline rush as well and you can surely experience this roller coaster of a ride when dealing with the market.

If we follow in crypto currency market, we can see that trading is also a very risky for any traders. Because we could saw that, many professional traders could be face to big losses in trading system. Because we could know that trading is very helpful for this person, who could researching in crypto trading system and who could understand in cryptocurrency market. So I think that that's person will be face to best profit from cryptocurrency market.

Yeah, futures are similar to spot, both are tactical and can be addictive to varying degrees. Futures offer opportunities to generate higher profits from leverage, especially investors can make profits even in a bearish market.

I only watched many videos about futures and believe that it is only for professional traders and those with excellent capital management skills. I myself do not choose futures because I think I am more suitable for Spot, I like spending time predicting the market instead of constantly monitoring every small fluctuation on the price chart in the daily timeframe.

To be profitable in futures trading, you need mastery of both the charts and yourself. Mastery of the charts is even easier for some than mastery of themselves because it is a constant battle and struggle to keep yourself in line and not respond to emotions of greed.

Testing of one’s patience and been disciplined is one of the most hardest tasks you can accomplish in futures trading. It can be very difficult to pass through this stage successfully and become a profitable trader but when you’re able to achieve them, you’ll become a good trader and will get more winning trades than losses.

Your psychology is what makes you to feel that been disciplined and patience is a big task on you to achieve, when you look out of trading and wants to do something that does not involves money and taking risk, you’ll be able to handle your psychology more and pass through this phase of being patient and disciplined more.

Trading is a process and the more you get acquainted to it, the better it becomes more easier for you to make positive choices that will be in your favour as the market moves. The day you hack the code, it’ll now be more like a cheat code you’ve hacked and you’ll realise that knowledge and perseverance was just what you need all along.

@OP, look below and you will see the transaction log on a goal to hit my first $1k trading XRP. Trading is just about profit and lose but the most important thing is to always stick with your strategy and also have a rule for yourself that you should always abide by because that's what will make you to be discipline.
