Is it bitcoin or altcoin, if it is altcoin, can you specify?
Bitcoin price is volatile but altcoins price are more volatile, future trading can be leveraged up to 100x for bitcoin and coins like ethereum while 50x for other available altcoins. Which coins have you been using and which is bringing you profit?
What I mean is BTC/USDT or ALTCOIN/USDT.
I think what that matters is the leverage used, but I have been experiencing liquidation at 3x leverage for altcoins in extreme volatile market, when I calculated it for bitcoin, the trading fund would not have liquidated if i used bitcoin because the liquidation price is still most of the time far from the price.
I will not talk more about manipulation because I have seen bitcoin future market price manipulated in a way many people's coins are liquidated in just few minutes, but I think I have seen it happened in bitcoin future market ones on the exchange I am using but this happened frequently with altcoins in volatile market.
Although I have stopped trading futures I would still like to share my experience. I used to like trading futures on altcoins which had low price like FTM and SRM.
I used to have 5x leverage and used to patiently wait to hit targets but eventually made losses.
I learnt a hard lesson that trading futures is not for me which is why I stopped futures.
