Looking for advice from veteran bitcoin futures traders - I assume futures traders attempt to capture short to medium trends in both directions, up and down. Further assume that one can't always be right and will have profit target/exits and stop losses. But how about trade sizing?

Assume you have $100,000. How would you size each trade?

That capital only suit those who have enough experience in trading and if you’re a newbie its hard to deal with futures because that is too risky. Anyway, let’s just assume that you’re good in trading and want to take more risk on futures, you have to size your trade based on your strategies and never go all in, you should always have a back up plan.

even small capital will easily become large, as long as we are good at trading. but to be good at trading it takes strategy and experience in trading. therefore we have to enrich the experience with a lot of practice, so that later we will become professional traders too.

That's how futures trading works even if you have a small capital, exchanges let you borrow some funds and when you got liquidated, expect to lose big time. Futures are for the advance trader who knows the risk of doing it, if you are still newbie I also believe futures is not for you yet so don't rush jumping into a big risk way of trading, better to start small and go big when you already have enough knowledge.
