The Key to Successful Futures Trading 1: Master the Basics
Mastering the Structure, Procedures, and Essential Concepts of Futures TradingCrypto futures trading is not just a game of predicting price movements. Fully understanding the structural characteristics, step-by-step procedures, and basic concepts is the first key to success. How Futures Trading WorksCrypto futures trading involves trading derivatives contracts that allow you to buy or sell an underlying asset (like Bitcoin) at a predetermined price at a specific time (or with no expiration for perpetual futures). Perpetual futures have no expiry date, allowing entry and exit at any time, and enable profit opportunities in both long and short positions.Example: In the BTC/USDT pair, go long if you expect the price of Bitcoin to rise, or go short if you expect it to fall. The biggest difference from spot trading is that you can profit regardless of market direction.-> [What is Futures Trading?] Step-by-Step Practical Process 1. Create and log in to your exchange account, complete KYC Level 1 verification (using ID card/driver’s license/passport) 2. Deposit crypto into the funding wallet → transfer to the futures wallet 3. Select a trading pair, set your preferred leverage (up to 100x) 4. Choose long/short position, enter entry price, liquidation price, and order type (limit/market, etc.) 5. After entering the position, monitor real-time order status, profit/loss, and liquidation price 6. After closing the trade, review your asset status and transaction history carefully 💡If there are any concepts you don’t fully understand at each step, make sure to study them before engaging in live trading. Key Terms and Concepts You Must Know • Leverage: Ranges from 1x to 100x. Allows larger trades with smaller capital but increases risk of loss and liquidation proportionally. • Margin: A portion of your funds used as collateral to open a position. If insufficient, additional deposit is required or liquidation may occur. -> [What is Leverage?] -> [What is Margin?] • Liquidation: If your margin falls below the maintenance level, the exchange will forcibly close your position, potentially seizing part of your funds. -> [What is Liquidation?] • Funding Fee: In perpetual futures, a periodic fee exchanged between long and short positions to keep the futures price close to the spot price (separate from trading fees). • Using the Order Book: Real-time order details and market liquidity analysis are essential. -> [What is an Order Book?] Key Checkpoints & Mistake Prevention Tips • KYC and agreement to terms are required — prepare documents in advance -> [KYC Level 1 Verification (proof of identity)] • Be careful not to confuse deposit-transfer routes or wallets (funding vs. futures) -> [Guide to wallet types: Funding wallets and futures wallets] • Adjust leverage cautiously — high leverage means high risk • Always monitor your trading history and position status in real time • Before live trading, practice with demo trading or small amounts 💡By deeply understanding the steps, structure, and terminology, you can significantly reduce mistakes in this market and lay a strong foundation for long-term growth.
The Key to Successful Futures Trading 2: Risk Management
Systematic TP/SL, Position Management, and Asset Protection StrategyThe volatility in the crypto futures market is beyond imagination, and due to high leverage, a complete loss can occur within minutes. The second key to survival and success is "system-based risk management." Structural Understanding of Liquidation and LossIn futures trading, if you let your losses run, your position can drop below the margin and trigger a forced liquidation. In this case, part of your balance may be seized, and if using cross margin, it can affect the entire account. The liquidation price is calculated based on the entry price, leverage, margin, accumulated fees, and other variables. In short, "protecting your assets should come before pursuing profits." Make TP/SL (Take Profit/Stop Loss) a Habit • Set up TP/SL auto orders: Set a clear trigger price when entering a position. This allows you to respond to sudden market changes without constant monitoring. e.g. Set TP at +5% gain, SL at -2% loss 💡The more volatile the market, the more useful it is to combine limit orders and trigger orders to avoid slippage (executing at unintended prices). Risk Limit & Fund Management • For large trades and high leverage, always set a Risk Limit to avoid instant liquidation due to sudden price spikes or drops. • Only store part of your assets in the futures wallet, and keep the rest in the funding wallet. If you invest everything at once, your entire account could be wiped out by unexpected market movements. -> [Guide to Wallet Types: Funding Wallets and Futures Wallets] Real-Time Order and Position Monitoring • During trading, monitor the order book, trade history, current positions, asset status, and liquidation price frequently. If you see unusual spikes or drops, execute a stop loss or close the position quickly. Other Practical Risk Management Tips • Understand the difference between cross margin and isolated margin, and choose the margin mode that suits your risk level • Trading volume, volatility, and fee structures may vary depending on the time of day and market conditions — regularly review weekend and nighttime market behavior • Keep records of liquidation and PnL, and review them often • Avoid trying to recover losses quickly, going all-in, or revenge trading 💡When you treat risk management as a part of your routine, and focus on preventing losses rather than recovering them, true "survival" in the futures market becomes possible.

Fees · Systematic Record-Keeping · Sustainable Trading HabitsThe final growth comes from small habits, market analysis skills, and environment management that set you apart from others. Consistency and meticulous cost control are the third secret to success.

Make sure to accurately check the fees incurred for each trade and the funding fees exchanged between long and short positions at regular intervals. • Fees can vary depending on trading methods, VIP benefits, coupons, etc. Large-scale and high-frequency trading can achieve significant cost reduction when VIP conditions are met. • Check funding fee times, criteria, and units as they differ by exchange. Habituate Order Book, Charts, and Order Management • Frequently analyze order book, trading view charts for quotes, execution strength, and trading volume. • Master various order types such as limit orders, market orders, and trigger orders. • Carefully recording trade history (profit-taking/stop-loss/ROI/liquidation details) helps identify personal trading patterns and errors. Automate Asset and Trade Records, Manage Target Profits • Manage daily profits, losses, number of trades, average entry/exit price, etc. • When profitable, automatically exit once it exceeds a set percentage without greed. • If your long-term profit curve is rising, don’t be shaken by short-term losses.
