Futures are exciting โ€” big profit potential, but also big risks. The worst? Liquidation โ€” when the exchange shuts your trade and wipes most of your balance.

Hereโ€™s how smart traders avoid it:

โœ… Keep Leverage Low

High leverage (50x/100x) = tiny moves can kill your trade. Pros stick to 5x or less to survive market swings.

โœ… Always Use Stop-Loss

Donโ€™t wait for the system to liquidate you. Set an exit level where losses are manageable. Close on your terms, not the exchangeโ€™s.

โœ… Manage Position Size

Never go all-in. Use only part of your capital for futures, keep the rest safe. One bad trade should never wipe you out.

โœ… Control Emotions

Fear, greed & panic = account killers. Stick to your plan, donโ€™t chase pumps, and never revenge trade.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip: In futures, the #1 goal is survival. Stay alive long enough to let consistent profits grow.
