A Lesson I Learned After Losing My First Futures Trade

When I first started trading crypto futures on Binance, I thought using high leverage was the fastest way to make money.

My first trade was on $BTC with x50 leverage using around $100 margin.

At first the trade was in profit, about +$25. I didn't close it because I wanted more.

Then the market suddenly moved against me and within minutes my position was liquidated.

That moment taught me something important:

High leverage doesn't make you rich faster.
It just makes you lose faster.

Since then I changed my strategy:

I only use x5 – x10 leverage
Risk only 5–10% of my capital per trade
Always set a stop loss

Now my goal is simple: survive the market and grow slowly.

Coins I'm watching recently:
$BTC $ETH $SOL

Crypto trading is not about winning one trade.
It's about staying in the game long enough to win many.
