I don't see this as being a good strategy, you're effectively trading on 1 day volatility over a monthly period. Yes you may get futures at a price you should not on that given day but then you're waiting a month for them to expire which doesn't seem to be too smart.

All the cryptos are falling the price chart so you can find the value manipulating in all the coins. So changing the coins each other in all the coins you will find the bitcoin price changes effectively seen on converting it to USD.
If you have NEO, steller and Vechain you can more more by buying the bitcoins with these coins.
You will get the more price in upcoming days.

Bitcoin futures trading was launched on two of the biggest futures exchanges; first CBOE and then CME.

It is now possible to make money on trading futures if the price is going up or down. It provides a great opportunity but also has some risk as if you go against the market you could lose money, even in a bull market (if you short).
One seemingly easy way to trade XBT futures would be to watch for news, especially negative news, as it is not in short supply and take short positions as soon as negative news comes out. The Bitcoin price is usually slow to react thus if you get in early, you could have your positions placed before the market reacts. Such a strategy might work in more stable markets, but with the market as volatile as it is, it is possible for things to move in the opposite direction before the effect of the news kicks in.

Has anyone tried such a strategy trading Bitcoin futures, and how likely is it that this could work reliably?

the future of bitcoin trading seems to be more expensive and everyone is grabbing bitcoin because it looks like bitcoin is a very valuable digital currency that can be used in all countries.

Lols, this is true. I prefer to trade in a non margin sites like Bittrex or Poloniex. Reyk or Moon theres no worry of getting liquidated. Futures is not good for newbie traders its  too risky.

If you do not have an extra $ 50,000, then it makes no sense even to climb into it!
Futures are traded by banks on taxpayer money and they can afford to lose everything.
And having 100-300 dollars, it's easier to trade on Forex, in currency pairs.

I think the bitcoin trading platform is a great and necessary choice for a constantly growing society. Bitcoin, also known as digital gold, is being heavily marketed and is recognized as a legitimate currency. I believe that bitcoin will be the common currency and will be most valuable in the future for the great benefits it brings.
