How to protect yourself from it:
I lost 100% of my portfolio in a DOGS/USDT futures trade today. 50x leverage and within a minute I got liquidated.
After I calmed down, I realized I fell into 3 traps that all beginners fall into:
1. High Leverage Trap:
The platform offers you 50x leverage not to help you win, but to liquidate you with a 0.8% move against you. The whales see liquidation points and drive the price there to the millisecond. I got into DOGS and got wiped out by the tail of a candlestick, and then the price went back to normal.
2. The quick recovery trap:
After losing, your mind tells you, "Enter a second trade double the amount and recover." That's exactly what the market wants. 90% of those who try to recover end up losing twice as much.
3. The stop loss neglect trap:
I used to say, "The price will bounce back." It didn't. In futures, there's no such thing as "I'll wait it out." It's either stop loss or liquidation 🤯
The result. 👈
From today, I've banned futures for myself until I hit $10,000 in spot. Right now, I'm focused on Launchpool and Earn. Earning 10% monthly is better than -100% in a minute.
If you’re new, my advice:
Start with spot only. Leave futures to the pros who also lose. Your capital is your only weapon, don’t give it to the market for free.
