Topic: How do you Keep up with trading when you are feeling down? (Read 984 times)

You are not just feeling down, but you are scared of having losses. I wonder how you intend to do well in trading when you are already scared of what you'll be expecting. Losses are part of trading, the only way you can minimize your losses is by learning all you need to know and gain some confidence.

For now, you need a genuine mentor that will teach and guide you because it is obvious you still have alot to know about futures trading, the market and the right strategy to use. You also need to work on your emotions, build a positive mindset/attitude towards futures trading. If after working hard to build confidence you are still scared of trading, then you need a break from trading.

Well, we can't say that it is not a quick way of making money, we can say that it is a very highly risky way of making money quickly. Can we say that 90% of the newbies will lose all their money when they try to do leverage? Yes, it's true that it's almost equal to gambling all your money when you are a newbie and doing leverage, it's clear that you are going to lose your money.

But, is it also true that if you just somehow get lucky and end up doing the right decision and the price goes where you want it to go, does that mean you are going to do badly? Of course not, you are going to make a ton of money. Someone can turn 1k into 10k if they are lucky in matter of a day, doesn't mean that they are going to, more than nine out of ten times they are going to end up losing their money and that is why we tell people not to do it, not because it is not a way to make quick money, because it is a way to make a quick money, but because they will lose instead of make any money at all.

It's puzzling to me how some people start a thread, make a post, and then never return. I've read through it, and I still can't grasp what the OP was trying to say. Surprisingly, the thread has grown to four pages of responses. I can't understand how people managed to keep the conversation going and generate such lengthy discussions.

Limiting yourself on the time that you would be experiencing loses specially on trading is something that would really be crucial. On the moment that you are on the verge of stress then it would really be just that
recommended that having some break or having some pause on making some trades. Dont let yourself become that too impulsive on which this could cause up that potential trouble because of bad decision making
specially on the moment that you are really that getting stressed out. Emotion is one of the hardest thing for you to overcome and since we are just humans then there would really be tendency that we might be able to experience such situation and this is why it would really be that important that you should really know on what you should gonna do in times like these. You cant really just make yourself that having some exemption
about the risks since its always been part of trading. The thing on here is that you should really be wary on different conditions and situations and the actions that you should really be making or doing.

I don't know if I'm dumb, but I can't understand what you're saying here or what you want to share with us OP so I'll just focus with the question.

Limit your trades, and take some breaks if you really need to do.

Limit your trades to a point where you need to trade only once a day or week just to lessen the risk. This will help you to stay disciplined and will reduce the pressure hence, that feeling of feeling down will reduce as well. If you're still can't perform really well with your trades, I would suggest that you should take a break. You might get overwhelmed by your losses and it's completely normal especially if you're a newbie in trading. Taking a break will help you clear your mind hence, you will make better decisions by the time you will return back and trade again.

People who are down usually can't make good decisions and because of that, their chances of losing money is higher. Limit when needed, but stop if you really needed to. Don't push because you will just make more losses along the way.

I have seen some traders who are more busy with futures trading than spot trading. They do not enjoy spot trading because there is a long wait. To those traders I would say that if they want to turn trading into gambling it is their personal decision but I will not support them when they lose money and make negative comments about trading. Those who decide to trade must have a good idea before trading. Treating trading as a gambling tool is sure to bring about their own downfall. Futures trading is a type of addiction that should be avoided. While futures trading may seem appropriate for those who have enough money who do not mind losing large amount , futures trading is a money-losing trap for ordinary traders.

Trading is not a quick way to make money, especially future trading is very dangerous for newbie and sometimes for experienced traders, when you have lack of knowledge in trading which can be spot or future trading you are feeling down, why you need to trade if you are feeling scared, don't trade without confidence.

Before you started trading you already know the basics of trading, you may lose or you may gain in trading that is the fact about it, you have to be a motivator to yourself and always give yourself a good reason to continue trading no matter what situation  you found yourself, trading is a difficult task, you may feel down if you lose but you have to exercise patient and never give up on it, you may enjoy it at the end, eliminate your fear and develop your courage that will facilitate you in making the right decision.

I cannot do the futures trading because the type of trade is not me not a field that I master well. Let alone when the situation I was feeling down, when the normal conditions were still not 100% I control the futures trading strategy.
Trading is an action that is at risk of losing money if you do not understand well or not the field that is mastered. Too complicated for traders who have never tried futures trading.
I say this if I can understand well about what you mean.

A must thing to be done but as a noob then you would really be definitely be doing the different stuff because you would really be that getting bored on having those small amount of risks that you would really be taking because you would really be just that earning something little. On the moment that you would be having this kind of feeling then you wont really be that making yourself that getting contented and this is why you would really be ending up into those decisions that you should really be risking out even more. This is really something a very common newbie mistake.

On the moment that you would really be experiencing those unfortunate conditions then this is the moment that you would really be able to tell into yourself that you are really that definitely
doing the wrong thing. You must have set out that specific risks management percentage on every trades that you would really be making. Real experience would be your
best teacher most of the time. This is why it would really be that important that you should really know on what you are dealing on with and act realistically all the time.

Exactly, before you start trading you need to put your emotion aside or else it if affect your trading, be aware that you will gain and you will also lose.

 but you have to learn more on trading and have enough knowledge on it, by the time you understand anything concerning trade,

than you will be able to control your marketing, and know how to minimize the frequently lost, with this you will become a better trader

Yea, you are right. Some newbies are usually advised to only invest a little amount in trading and apply risk management too that can prevent them from losing all their capital at once. For example if the newbie has a balance of $100 in  their trading account, they should only enter a position with nothing more than 5%  or 10% of their capital so that if the market becomes so volatile, it will not liquidate all their total balance.

Why do you want to do something you feel no confidence at all and that deep down you know you cannot do well? The solution to your problems is not a set of incentives created by exchanges, the solution is to not engage in futures trading or in any form of trading at all, as I can tell you that just by the way you worded your post, that you have no chance at all to profit from the markets and you will just give your money away to the whales and other traders if you do so.

That's right bro, I agree with what you said, a clear mind will make your income clear too, when our minds are confused then avoid trading because it will cause losses for ourselves because we can't think clearly and our thoughts are divided, which will make us wrong. take steps that will make ourselves even more down and confused, so first calm your mind and then do trading safely and we can think about it for a long time, a healthy mind really influences our trading results because we have to think a lot about trading when making wrong decisions This will cause a high risk that our emotions will no longer be able to be controlled properly.

I think the state of mind of every trader affects his decision, results and it contributes to his chances of getting profits or losses in trading, you may wonder why I say this but every good trader will attest that having a mixed emotions can contribute to the trader finding it difficult to use good strategies but when one is in good state of mind he can make good decisions which may yield more profit to him.

This is the reason why traders are encouraged to avoid using emotions while trading, you may be in a good mood to trade which is ok but being in a bad state of mind will definitely affect the traders strategies because he will be too slow to take a good decision.

•Call it a day
•Make yourself that get distracted by other things
•Having a break and make those chores same as mentioned above

If you are really that wanting to check on what happened.

• See on what went wrong whether the market had fucked you up or simply your analysis or tools didnt match out?
• Trying out to adjust and trying out to learn on what are the things that you should really be doing on next time.

Speaking about not to quit.

•Loses are part of trading so it would be just that normal that you would be committing those things but of course you shouldnt really be that tolerating it out.
Always lessen the risks as much as possible because we do know that this would really be that a huge disadvantage.
• Mistakes are stepping stones for you to become a better trader so accept on whatever you are currently experiencing.

In overall, we do know that each person will really be that different approach when it comes to things on which there would really be those individuals who would really be
that easily gives up because of being that too much impulsive and there are ones who couldnt really be able to easily give up and would pursue on dealing up with
things accordingly.

you are right, the calm state of one's soul and mind actually affects how people make decisions. may not really affect the results, but will affect the effects of the results obtained.
like when we get a loss in trading. if your situation is not good, the results of the defeat can actually be worse with emotions that may be uncontrolled. do everything, not just trading with a calmer mind. it will make the atmosphere better.

When a trader is feeling down because of excessive losses, the best course of action for them is first to take some rest from trading, this doesn't mean they shouldn't look at the market, but they shouldn't make any trades. After that, they should evaluate their past trades and try to find the mistakes they have made. The best traders are the ones who find and rectify their mistakes so that they don't make the same mistakes again in the future.

After some time, when the trader realizes the mistakes and has evaluated everything, they should have more confidence than before because they would now understand what they shouldn't do. Trying different strategies can also be a good option because sometimes some strategies don't work for certain people.

A more comfortable mood will always have more influence on the decisions we will make at one time and also at another time because in trading it is highly discouraged to make every decision in a hurry in any situation. And from what you said, this can actually be an important reflection for newbie traders who often make decisions in a hurry without any consideration of their own heart condition which may not be okay.

Even if we do not get better results in a more comfortable state of mind, at least we will not be reckless enough to make other decisions so that we can still achieve a sense of relaxation and a calm soul even though the results may not be optimal. Because whatever we do with a sense of comfort and a better level of awareness will not result in anything worse than the actions we take ourselves. So that it can also be an additional key for every trader besides certain knowledge and experience in trading.

Why am I not understanding your subject and the content you are talking about. Your subject says how does traders or people feel when they are feeling down and then yiu went ahead to discuss effect of future trading and some some countries banning it and newbies scaref of it. Next time, you title should discuss what you are saying and not opposite of each other for good context and understanding.

Not everyone is a fan of future trading neither do I also like it but there are people that does love it, they spend time gambling on it and make their money but I wouldn't advice anyone to do it. However, if you are good at it, then ride on and take that profit and any day you loss, just remember the days you won some good trade from it and how you never wanted to give up. This is what you should do when you are down due to some losses you encountered in trading.

If you are going into cryptocurrency, then the first thing you should know is the volatility. You know there is risk involved in it. That’s why you are supposed to invest or trade with any amount that you know you can afford to lose. Anything can happen at any moment, so you have to be prepared for it.

The best thing is to just acquire more knowledge about future trading before joining. Make sure you try it out with a demo account, you have nothing to lose when making use of a demo account, and when you switch to a main account, make sure you start with a small amount of money and be prepared to lose. You can’t be a trader, and you won’t be losing. I don’t really think that’s possible. That’s why when trading, always manage your risk.

That is definitely true, when you are already in an emotionally turmoil period of your life, then the result will not be that great for you and I would suggest staying away from trading when you are in that state. Many people think that they can handle it, but the reality is that they just simply can't, it is not something you can do when you have a crowded head, you need to be calm about it.

Nowadays it is a professional business so some people still do it, like lets say you are a broker at some wall street company or an analyst or whatever, you make that business and you just lost your parent, would you suddenly be a great trader? Of course not, you are going to suck, you can't focus, even if you take a few days break, you will come back and still not be ready, people do not recover for months emotionally, you feel better most days eventually.

So, it is not an easy job and I think it should be noted that we are going to face a lot of trouble if we insist. If you are not professionally do this, then there is no reason for you to keep on trading that well, I think it is going to be a bit of an issue and we need to get better at it, the result will not be too easy to handle, and it will definitely going to hurt you in the end.

Well that's right it should be taken seriously, because there are a lot of beginners who do trading without knowing the risks, such as mental pressure, stress, depression and so on that disturb their psyche and even greed is definitely there in trading, well someone needs to understand in advance the risks about this if he plunges into futures trading, because something like this must be experienced by a trader and not necessarily every way of solving it is the same and also the burden received is the same, therefore before starting we must know how we can rest and not have an impulsive spirit in trading in the future if we really have jumped in so as not to become a bad trader.

The more this mindset is accepted, the better trading we will do in the future.

Where there is winning, of course someone is losing at the same time, just like in gambling where other gambler wins and make money from the loser. Trading is a tough and risky hustle, but profiting from it will always be possible if you know how trading works and how to trade on your expertise. And for that to happen, one should also be at the losing end.

The wrong thing about other people on the time that they would really be on such stress or tough situation not only just that limiting to trading problems but also in other ventures that they are dealing specially when taking up some risks with your capital for you to earn money then it would really be normal that it would really be creating out such stress on which we know that on the time that you would really be on such condition or situation then not all people would really be that good when it comes into handling themselves into that kind of stress. This is why it would really be that recommended that you should really know at least
on having or taking some break specially when you are on the verge of this kind of situation on which it would really be that not easy because losing money is never been that giving a good feeling.

On the moment that you do get stressed or the moment that you are about to become that impulsive. Then it would really be better or just that right that you should really know
about on handling yourself on such conditions because this is where people do usually face up issues or problems on the time that they couldnt really be thinking up well.
Having a break and easing out that stress and disappointment wont really be hurting you but rather it would really be avoiding you into further potential loses due to bad decision making.

Of course a break is needed to get psychologically and mentally calm when you want to restart trading and your trading is much more comfortable because you are not in a slump.

My interpretation goes to the consciousness of his thinking and triggers his ambition in futures trading, because it is very dangerous especially when he has a bad mentality, it is necessary to get used to spot trading first and then after it feels much controllable you can comfortably enter futures trading, one needs a clear direction and is aware of all the risks that may be obtained in futures trading, where indeed the timeframe used is much shorter in trading, it is necessary to have sharp knowledge in analyzing, while for training it is better to trade spot than to jump directly into futures trading.

And if you are afraid of the consequences and various risks, isn't it better not to start at all?

Try to make it engaging and entertaining, it will definitely make it better for you. There are people here who say that they have fun with it, and it is a way for them to get away from stress, whereas there are people here who are stressed when they are trading, so that means it is not just personal preference thing, one side knows something that the other side don't.

I think if we could just focus on learning how to have fun with this, then we are going to be able to actually make something come out of it, and it would actually be a lot better too and would give a good return, we need to learn what that is and how we could do it, if we can do that then we are going to be very profitable wit hit as well. I know that we are going to end up making situation and could make that work in the end

I know that we are going to make a profit if we have fun, and that is why we are going to end up with something that we just have fun with. Even if you lose, then we can do it work very well.

The rewards that you are referring to are nothing compared to the actual deposits you made. You just need to believe in yourself, that’s all. If you are good at studying the market and analyzing the patterns, then go for it. Otherwise, if you copy calls and trades, then also go for it. If nothing is possible and you want to use your experience of the crypto world to trade, then it's also a better option. You just need to start anyhow. At the initial days, all make losses, and sometimes heavy losses, but guess what we learn from the losses and try to avoid from the next time onwards. I hope you will get this, dude.

There are other things outside of market conditions and trading that we must also learn. In theory I think it is quite easy to learn, and in learning the theory of trading we do not need things related to psychology and mentality, so when learning the theory I think it will go smoothly.
everything will change when we practice it in the market, because sometimes something we learned before is different from the situation we face. Apart from that, the real market will affect our psychology, so as you said we must prepare mentally first and it cannot be mastered immediately, because according to what I have experienced, experience is what can make our mentality better.
Maybe we can use a demo account first if it is talking about trading, but if we are talking about mentality then in a demo account it does not affect our mental learning.

If you are feeling down, it is better not to trade because you will difficult to focus with your trading and when you lose your money, your feeling will becomes bad. That can affect your whole day and you can becomes angry and can impact to your relationship with other people.

When you want to trade, you must make sure that you are ready with anything you will face in trading. You can prepare your money with the money you can afford to lose in trading so you will not regret when you lose in trading. That is why you don't have to use big capital to trade especially if you can not accept the big lose in trading. You needs to know that trading can also make you lose your money.

Well, we do have to have quite thorough preparation if we want to start trading. And preparation is not enough just to provide insight and material related to analysis. But we also have to be smart in managing our own emotions in the market. In fact, we also have to know when is the right time to start. If we are in a slump as asked by the OP, we must prepare our mentality first by getting enough rest. And when our mentality recovers, then we can start preparing again to trade. Because trading always includes everything. Making technical and fundamental analysis may require insight, but to make sentimental analysis we have to understand the market situation and everyone's response to the market. And to understand this we have to be in a calm enough state so that we can think clearly and maturely. In the sense that when we trade we must also be psychologically prepared.

Exactly, trading is not a simple process you must have sufficient understanding before you can enjoy trading. And any business or investment is risky, so keep in mind that whatever you undertake will undoubtedly involve risk. Many people lose money on trading every day, while others profit from it, so those who are losing should study it, conduct research, and find mentors who can guide them forward if they are truly interested in trading. On trading, if you understand market analysis very well, you will reduce your losses and profit without losing too much.

And if you are new to trading, you should not quit right away if you see you are losing every time instead, you should wait and see where you are making mistakes, and then go do some research on it and fix the problem because if you are losing, that is how you will gain experience and gradually become profitable if you correct your mistakes. which is why patience is so important in trading. When you are losing or feeling down, you should just try to find someone who is more skilled at trading and teach you anything you need to know about trading.Because am very sure is the market analysis that usually make people lose huge capital on trading they don't have better understanding about it.

In trading, emotions play an extremely important role and will even determine whether we win or lose. Therefore, if the spirit is not good, we should stop all activities related to trading to avoid making wrong decisions that lead to heavy losses . The market operates 24/7 and is non-stop so opportunities are always there, we don't need to rush to trade when we are in a bad mood .

Trading and gambling are two things I choose to stay away from when I feel depressed because I am aware that making even a small mistake will cost me a lot . We should only trade when we are in the best and most comfortable mood because then we will bring the best results .

If someone is having problems in their life, it would be better not to do trading activities on any exchange with any coin, because what is most feared is making the wrong decision and can make them lose because of their own thoughts that are being inhabited by more problems. So it would be very appropriate not to do such activities before someone solves the complicated problems that they may be facing at that time because trading will be easier to do with a cool head and not mixed with any problems in our own heads.

Cex are like gambling sites that make money based on the level of activities their users are carrying out in their respective platforms. The rewards incentives being given to you is to entice you to keep trading. You know the logic right? The more you trade, the more money they make. It is very simple, you don't need incentives to motivate you to trade after losing your money. If you cannot minimize your risk or deal with your loss better stay off trading. The incentives rewards given can not be withdraw until you trade with certain conditions and you will end up losing it if care is not taken. It's not a do or die affair, if you are feeling down think of other profitable alternatives.

Before trading, of course we already have a plan and also a little knowledge about trading, but now the difficult thing is when we are feeling down because of other things in life, of course it will affect the trading we are doing and not everyone is able to control themselves in trading even I think the most important lesson in trading is self-control including emotions and others, it also affects not being greedy as you said. And for me experience is a valuable lesson, I myself have made mistakes because of that and tried to fix it so as not to repeat the same thing.

Of course, there are many things that they must prepare before deciding to start trading because without having preparation as you have mentioned, it will be very difficult for someone to survive and also make profits on the trades they do and when they want to trade, of course, they must first make a plan and run well to be able to make profits because without making a plan, it will be very unsuccessful when trading and also they must be able to control their emotions when trading because someone who trades without controlling their emotions will certainly do it greedily which makes them unable to make profits and even they pass the profits they have gotten because they trade with greed and not with the knowledge they have.

For something you have started why will be giving up now, lot of us have come a long way to be giving up now and that is exactly how it is, but if you are not making progress in trading then you can actually give it a break, because sometimes we actually need to take a break, and the break should not be a way for you to actually give up, a lot of people will use that as an excuse to want to just bail out. true that trading is not easy but as far as you want to make money in this life their is nothing that is easy and that is what people actually need to understand that when you  want to make money nothing good comes easy, before you start you need to reorient your self so that what ever problem you encounter you will already know.  and futures trading is very risky than spot but just because of the kind of profit they want to make from futures and people are failing to understand that it is not for everybody,  and if its the case that you are getting tired they futures should not be something you should be considering because it will make you more tired if its is not something you are use to then you should only try it out time to time, because is not something you want to try always.

A trading is included of a lot of things that anyone who is interested in the trading most have to know before it can begin, first he needs to know the physiology means how you can handle the risks that is involved trading, Secondary you have to know the technique analysis which are the skills of trading.

Because a person will not go to school without having a materials tools that him suppose use in the school, so that's all about the trading a person to learn very deep and earned enough knowledge.

Just make yourself that not making being impulsive so that you wont really be finding yourself that being stressed or being that becoming impulsive on the moment or time that you see those loses.
It would really be just that normal that trading this market would really be having those correction about correction and pump on which this is the usual thing that you would really be that able to encounter.
You cant really just that avoid such stuff because we know that dealing up with this crypto space would really be primary be able to deal up with volality on which this could potentially
make you that able to earn profits at the same time it could really that make you lose on which its really that a normal thing to happen.This is why its really that important that you do really know
on what you are doing.

Make yourself that get prepared for whatever things that you would be encountering because the main issue of most traders when they are feeling down or having that disappointment
is that they do easily give up and  they do really quit on the time that they are losing money and never come back to deal with this market. Its normal on having these conditions
but on the time or moment that you are already gaining up sufficient experience then you do really know on how to make yourself that dealing up with this space.

If you are still afraid to make an actual trading ideal to use a paper trade this still live trading but you don't use real money like a demo, so you can train yourself with the current strategy you are doing looking forward if its effective or not now if you are quite confident now you can now make a trade in an actual futures so you can now applied all of your learnings you've got, if you lose seems its part of learning but of course you will learn from those mistakes.

Yeah, we can see how risky futures trading is. Not only adequate knowledge is needed but also a good risk management. It is when we use only small amounts, so that once we lose in futures trading, we still have more and it is still possible for us to recover our losses on our next session.

If trading yes but gambling? We all know that it is based mostly on luck. It doesn't need deep critical thinking and might help us elevate our mood when we are down since gambling is built mainly to entertain people.

We should only avoid gambling if we are playing for the profit. Not only that we can't analyse well but it can also affect our risk management in terms of handling our bankroll. Once we are done playing gambling, we can feel that we are now prepared to do trading again. Taking a rest and not play gambling at all is also a good idea because it can relax our over all being.

Not only that but we can also save our pockets from expenses. Resting is not a waste of time and profit but it is, when we can only trade poorly if we insisted to, once we are in a bad mood. Besides, we can still recover the times that we used to, on making a profit much better once we come back in the trading field again because we are more ready and energized this time.

I tend to always avoid the market when I have problems that make me feel tired and down. Because I have experienced that forcing ourselves to enter a trade when we are not in a good feeling will only make us suffer more losses in the market. Because when we have bad feelings, at that moment the analysis we carry out will lose its accuracy. Usually I'll go away for a moment to calm down. And go back to the market when I feel better. Even when I experience a loss, I will immediately stop trading for a while and I will come back again after taking a break. Because if we continue trading after experiencing defeat then at that time we will actually start to lose our focus. Because we will want to avenge defeat more by wanting to immediately gain profits to cover losses. And that will only lead us to another defeat. Unless we are lucky or unless we have reliable information regarding the market that we can use.

Like most of the people here, I think it's best to get your mind out of it and make sure you are in the right mindset when looking at your portfolio. Most people are probably down with the recent market downtrend, but it's just temporary. It's going to be back, but you just have to make yourself busy, you know.

It's best that you do your risk management, you know.

The question here is that;

1. Are those exchangers would really be willing to put up some incentive to newbie traders on the time that they do loss or reaching a milestone?
   For rewards then it would really be having that duration but it cant really be done forever. They are here for business and not for giving out easily some rewards or whatever
   compensation that will be given.

2. Easing out frustration and disappointment would really be something that will be a personal kind of thing. You cant really just that make yourself be panicking if you do
   really know on what youre been dealing with.

3. You are the ones who would really seeking into diverting out your focus into trades on the moment that you are losing that much. Futures trading isnt recommended when you are
really just that starting on doing trading because on the time that you would be seeing your portfolio is lossing that much then you do really that become
impulsive or you are really that becoming too desperate.

I feel like it is much easier to keep up with trading when I am feeling down, it is a personal thing I suppose. If I am feeling unhappy about anything, then I end up usually just trading because it is something I can dedicate myself to, and eats all of my focus.

If I am focusing on trading, then I am not focusing on anything else and that means I will not only make a good profit, but also I am going to ignore all the other things going in my life as well. If we do that then the results will come. Obviously a lot of people are incapable of doing that and I understand the situation, it is definitely understandable since a lot of people who feel down or unhappy, will not want to focus on anything else and that's why it is harder for them.

Do you mean you are going to start a reward system? Or do you want a system like that so that you can start yourself? If it's the first one, you can go ahead and start it and I'm sure a lot of people would love to join the program, try futures trading, and get incentivized if they lose money, but if it's the latter, I'm not sure if any platform would be ready to incentivize people for their losses, they may give back a small percentage of the total loss, but no complete reimbursement.

Futures trading is risky and it's not for newbies. Those who get into the market should stick with spot trading in their initial days until they completely understand that market and be able to read charts and predict the next moves of certain cryptocurrencies. After that, they might be ready to venture into futures trading if they think they are ready.

You've given him a good advise. I once participated in KCGI and it was a good experience overall. You've got to commend BG for constantly rolling out opportunities like the one you mentioned for traders..

got plenty of such friends as well losing so much money longing certain coin turns out the coin was dumping and they just keep spending their money to mantain the margin which ended up making them go broke.

if we aren't ready to lose the money on speculative trades, I think we should back off and never try it in the first place.



so many people got liquidated in the past 24h and majority of them are long perpetual contracts and not only limited to btc but the altcoins are having hard time as well, this is the harsh truth about trading world.

When you are down, it is better to stay away from either trading or gambling because if you don't stay away you will continue to lose since all your physiological settings will be overly stressed to the point that you will likely not make any good investment decisions at that time so taking any action that need interlectual calculation such as opening a position in cryptocurrency trading, so for that you will be making wrong decisions based on your emotions,

So it best you just take a break when you know you are not emotionally prepared to face the market at such a stage of time and the best thing for you to save your capital, most of those that have been caught in bad trading were majority's cause by emotional control inability to stay away when the game is not in their favour.

I don't understand your question or query very well but do you want to involve yourself in futures trading. If you want to involve yourself in futures trading, trade very carefully. Future trading is very serious trading process, if you are not very experienced in trading then it is better to stop here. Because if you make a loss on a futures trading platform, it will be lost forever, just like an entire gambling platform. That's why I say don't get into futures trading if you are not very experienced with the trading platform. Having done futures trading myself, I have seen more losses than gains here. I have lost a lot of money on futures trading platforms due to which I have completely moved away from futures trading platforms now I only use spot trading for trading.

Having trading knowledge is a must if you want to start trading. Because there are always risks in trading, so it is important that you are aware of those risks, and the most important thing is that the more you try to learn about trading, the more effective it will be for you. Your trading strategy will not always work for you, so if you face losses for some reason, you should take a break from trading for a few days and come up with a new strategy to start trading again.

Once you go down, if you don't refresh your mind and come back to the market, you can make more wrong decisions, which will not be good for you. So you have to look at everything so that you can recover your lost trades.

Prepare yourself mentally before starting futures trading because the risk of this trade is quite large you can even lose all the assets you have when prices are unstable.

I have a friend who has lost $15K in futures trading because he was too ambitious with the profits he got before he did everything with the asset, well don't let you get carried away because futures trading is not easy.

Some exchanges may do events for futures trading competitions, but they are the ones who profit from what you trade there, the incentives that are given will not be worth it normally.

Trading is a tough and risky job, so one who dares to trade is not just well knowledgeable and skilled, but should also be confident enough emotionally and mentally so that he will be able to make a reliable and successful trade.

Trading is never easy especially for beginners, that's why I don't encourage trading if they aren't capable enough. Most especially if we are talking with futures trading, that's quite dangerous and risky for traders who have no wide experience in trading. And as long as you decide to trade without positive outlook and is not in a good, proper condition when trading, you will never beat the market and end trading successfully and profitably.

It is better if in a downturn it is better to shut up and calm down first, not looking for excuses or justifications for other things in your trading activities, especially in futures trading where the level of volatility can be much crazier than in spot trading, which allows you to get bad things on your trading and conditions in bad conditions.

You are a beginner of course you have to understand more about futures trading, and don't behave like a gambler in this field, the battle on futures trading suppresses emotionality, if you are not used to and not ready for the stress and tension of futures trading it is better not to touch it at all.

I advise you to have your own mind about Bitcoin trading and not let people, companies, or incentives push you. Bitcoin trading is highly risky, especially in futures trading which is considered the riskiest way to earn from Bitcoin. But this is not to scare you but to prepare your mind to ascertain your preparedness for it.

To come up with the best conclusion, you should DYOR and learn to know the pros and cons attached to the trading. The pros should be able to motivate you, this is where your learning will start. When you learn, make sure you are very particular about having a good strategy that will promise at least 75% winning, proper money/risk management, balanced psychology and a viable plan.

Also regarding the $2,000 starting capital, it is a good amount to start, but the money shouldn't be your priority at first because you may also use a lower amount and build it over time. Your priority is the preservation of your trading account, and that can only happen with the right account management.

Fear is a very natural thing that we feel, especially if we are in the beginning we know and learn something, in this case is trade. Not too rushed to get rid of that fear, because it will disappear by itself if we continue to learn and we have more experience. The reason is if we try to get rid of that fear, it is feared that it will actually make us feel more loss. Not without reason, because we force ourselves, even though we are actually not fully ready to fight that fear. Everything needs a process and we must be patient with it.

Now I also recommend beginners to enter the spot trading first, because in the spot trading the risk is lower than the futures trading. As long as we do the spot trading, we can while studying futures trading. With that, we can learn more things and also our time will be more useful because at the same time we can benefit from others besides the futures trading.

Only fools do crypto trading, situations like that, crypto trading cannot be done if our situation is unstable, whether it is our mind, our heart, physical condition and so on, crypto trading cannot be forced, a situation like that can make us experience real losses, trading requires patience, thoroughness, analysis and calm when doing it, carrying out trading activities in a hurry will have fatal consequences for ourselves.

.Remember, whatever we want to do, we have to be calm and not sad or in the worst, this applies in all aspects. For this reason, whatever we want to do with money, we have to be calm without the worst conditions, I prefer to go and look for something that makes me relax, if my condition is bad, I don't want to do anything that causes harm.

So you don't know how trading works at all? All those people who are winning with their trades, have you ever wondered where the money comes from? It doesn't magically appear out of thin air. For every winner, there's a loser. That's how trading works. Exchanges don't compensate losses because they don't owe anyone money. Their job is to facilitate trades, not act as a charity.

Get rid of your fear before you start trading, or else, you are risking too much for nothing. Uncertainties and fear are factors that would affect your decision-making, they won't give you the best thing to do but mistakes and losses. Therefore, give yourself time to focus and set your mindset before making a move. 

Just bear in mind that trading is not a simple job, and it never works for those who are not confident. If you are not ready for futures trading, why not try spot trading first? In fact, more traders prefer spot trading to futures trading. I may suggest just listening and evaluating yourselves to see if you are capable enough, rather than regretting later. 

You've got a point. I think cex are doing that now, incentivising Futures traders by various rewards mechanisms in a Bid to motivate them or appreciate their efforts. I shared one earlier on Bitget, yon can observe to see if you're good for it.  Goodluck though. If you need advice, I've been trading for a year plus now so I can chip some for you😎😎

Yes, same with what I've been doing, taking a break when you think you're not good enough to trade. Emotions is the best enemy in trading so if you have troubled emotions when trading, you cannot focus completely on your trades and so you end up losing it and lose your funds as well. That's probably the reason why traders who are not at their best are certainly taking days off and come back only in trading when they are ready again emotionally and mentally.

Trading is risky but you should have already known this before deciding to trade and since you are feeling down from trading, I will advice for you to not stop. Losing happens when trading therefore it should not be the reason why you are having thoughts of stopping to trade. Keep trading but you can reduced your capital to avoid losing too much money when you are not having luck but do not stop. If you stop, you might not have the courage to continue trading again as you might feel like you have been defeated. Many people when they stop trading or doing something that was giving them money, they will look for some other things to do and they always go for gambling which puts them in more sad conditions because of losing to gambling and they begin to struggle to come back strong.

If you can't keep your emotions out of trading, it's best to de-prioritize trading and focus on long-term investments. Trading is about minimizing losses and maximizing profits. If losses are part of what happens when you trade, it's best to learn how to minimize their negative impact.

If you are new to crypto and have heard everything about future trading and how volatile it is, then why did you want to go into it? If you are new to crypto, then future trading isn’t really for you. I am not discouraging you completely from going into future trading, but why don’t you just start with spot trading? I know it’s also risky, but better than future trading. When you understand everything about spot trading, you can start trading futures gradually, but if you decide to jump into future trading, then you are going to lose a lot.
 
Future trading is highly profitable, that’s why most people are always rushing to join it, but the risk involved in it is just too high, especially when using high leverage, which is what most people are doing.

This is my first time on hearing out about futures trading being banned on a certain country or place just because of being that too risky? I dont think so. There are really platforms which are really that prohibuted to resiter accounts specially if they are really that included into those restricted countries but if we do speak about trading as total then its not something that would be banned. Restrictions and prohibitions are really that including things as a whole or simply the services that it do gives. It would really be that on case to case basis but usually most platforms now are really that accepting all users around the world but there are platforms which do really prohibit some places or countries in the world.

Speaking about directly dealing up with futures trading then i would say that it would really be better that you should really be that focusing first on spot trading and make yourself be that master into it
or you should really be that making yourself that do have a good grasps towards it. If you are really that directly making up some emotions of being feeling down then its your choice
but if you are really that serious on what you are doing then just pursue out and sustain.

Trading is risky, and before you decide to go into trading, you have to accept the risk of either making a profit or losing your money due to market volatility. There's nothing like incentives for traders; if you make the wrong market analysis and enter a position, you will lose your capital when the money doesn't go in your direction. 

The only frequent event that some exchanges open to future traders is a deposit bonus, in which you will be given some bonus (it could be $5–$20) to trade with. If you want to start trading, make sure to learn first on the demo account and have a good idea before investing real money. 

This can be so touching and sometimes I wonder where those money go to. I think if those big platforms in the likes of Bitget, Binance and Coinbase can come up with a rewarding system for users that lose in the futures market or even get to compensate them back, that way it won't get banned in those countries, I hope we get there soon or the population of newbies that will indicate interest in futures will be very minimal and maybe they shoulf also have some attractive incentives too to take care of their fears. I wish I have the funds to run an exchange, maybe I'll make a better place....lol

Yes, you are right to some extent, everything in crypto should be approached from an informed standpoint and nothing should be done blindly, I just believe there is too much negative things said about futures than it really is and I don't even expect anyone to do it without good knowledge, and since there is always a beginning to anything we do, there will still be the well informed newbie out there and everything both with or without rewards need to be done with caution, people still lose the more even without rewards so in all, it is just to render help from emotional trauma and to make people see have hope in what they do.

Are you trying to say that for people to scale the fear they have for futures trading, that some kind of reward should be offered? If so, I do not think so, or think you really understand that life does not care. When you are winning, it is to someone's loss in trading, and when you are losing in trading, it is also to the benefit of someone who you are loosing to. When you loose in futures trading, someone benefits from it, and even if they make a reward pool to encourage more people to trade futures, it will only put people under the motion to try to win the reward pool, and it the process, they may loose more, because they are have not prepared themselves very well. do not trade futures for any reason or reward if you know you have no knowledge about it.

It's kinda funny to hear that you need a reward because you lost money in futures trading.
If you are feeling low because of losing money in trading then you shouldn't be doing anything, like literally anything.
What I mean is that you should take some days off to clear your mind and then get back to trading with a new strategy.
This is how I have been doing it and found it to be useful. With clear mind, we get the ability to think more clearly and that helps us in taking better trading decisions.

All decisions are in the hands of each person when we talk about trading, there is no coercion from any party to force something that is not very good, so there is nothing wrong with occasionally delaying, as you said taking a break can certainly be a good alternative to calm the mind from worry. On the other hand, I think having another income such as a main job or family business is something that traders must have, we know how the negative side of trading is where it is an activity that can be very high risk at times, meaning that trading will not always be profitable, because there will always be situations where you experience a loss of a certain amount, and clearly one of the reasons why every trader must have a fixed source of income in their life is to support all the needs in their life, this preparation can prevent you from being depressed in life, because relying on financial fate on trading will always be an idea that is too risky. Another thing is to understand first about how trading really is, understanding the opportunities and being aware of the risks is an understanding that must be had from the start so that you do not become a loser when you experience a loss.

A loss is always a loss, and it could be even higher if you push yourself into trading without good skills and reliable experiences that can help lessen your future losses if ever. Even if you promote rewards system, that won’t stop newbies in trading from losing a lot, most especially if they trade using their hard-earned money that they can’t afford to lose.

Trading is really risky and scary. That is the reality. And as long as you aren’t capable to trade, know that consistent losses are inevitable.

The title of this topic is different from the content anyway, since you talking about future trading like other said it's pretty risky without knowledge the whole capital can be instantly lost in a day due to market volatility.

Since you are a newbie I suggest before you go in live future trading first learn how to trade emotion is one thing that is hard to control like you said feeling down if you feel like that due to some reason then stop trading if you want to build confidence then do it first on paper money and I love to try all strategies with backtesting tool from tradingview because you can get the instant result within a day.

Like I said learn trading first that is the only way to overcome fear check the link below then read the technical and fundamental analysis but make sure to learn the technical first until you learn some strategies you can use some tools listed there for free to test your skills.

First thing is you have the basic knowledge of trading as you can sense the risk in it.  Now concerning the subject I guess you mean when  one is down on trading moral which is mostly cause by consecutive loses, just as other members advised that period is the perfect period to actually go and check or rate your strategy, most people do not also go back without trading as a they believe consistency is the key to a success, so if you’re of this category then you can simply just use Demo to trade, reason why I choose demo is because you can simply be backtest your strategy and then follow it up with a demo instead of leaving trading entirely.

The thing again is you need to build you psychology to able to handle loses in the right way and the best way to do that is simply managing your risk properly, even  successful traders use proper risk management to able to stay away from blowing account

Different individuals will deal with this problem differently but the most effective way of dealing with this problem is to take a break, many individuals are underrating the importance of slowing down a little bit. When life is giving you a hard time, don't try to fight it back or you'll lose. You need to have as many sources of income to help you as a trader to avoid depending only on trading for money and this makes you to not have a time of your own and have to be on your computer trading every time. The reason for your being down is as you aren't winning, you can also consider changing your trading habit and look for better ones.

I'm not sure I understood you correctly. You're scared of losing money in futures trading, so you want a reward system?  But what would be the point of such a reward system? 

Look, trading is risky. Period. There's no reward system gonna change that. If you can't handle the potential loss, don't play the game. Simple as that.

You are right, futures trading is prohibited by some countries, including mine. Futures trading is certainly an alternative that you can consider to gain profits from trading, but the main problem is that there are big risks that you have to consider wisely. You should not gamble with futures trading, I mean you will not really get the returns according to plan if you like to play with high leverage.

I've lost several thousand dollars on futures trades before, which is definitely not what I want. There are lessons I learned from there, so maybe I will try to minimize those mistakes in the next trade. If you are interested in futures trading, then my only advice is, don't be greedy and don't have the intention of getting rich quickly with it.

I don't know if I understand your question very well. I mean the body of the text. However from the topic a lack of confidence could be one of the reasons for this type of feelings, also consistent losses is another reason, and other. I would suggest that when you are feeling down you could watch some trading videos of successful traders who are teaching about trading psychology, you could also listen to podcasts, read a book and another option you may do is to take some break.

I have heard a lot of things about Bitcoin trading and even, most especially futures trading and how volatile it can be and how some countries have banned it.

Some have even gone to share with some newbies and are scared I'm new to futures, but I am thinking of starting now and some I believe to ease the fear, some reward system or back up for newbies, like having some pool of rewards to incentivise traders foe reaching a milestone sort of and it shouldn't be too high, Something around 2k usdt should be fair enough.
