all trading in the crypto market I guess is risky. but in futures trading, I think the risk will be greater. It makes anyone who will trade futures know that they must be prepared to lose their money.
Futures trading requires better skills, not just guessing the direction of market movements and playing our luck. If so, it looks like gambling.
I do tell people that future trading is more or less like a gamble in my opinion, most especially if you are using high leverage. No matter how good you are in technical analysis and fundamental analysis, you will experience liquidation in future trading, reason is because the manipulation there is way too much. Future trading requires few percentage of technical and fundamental analysis, emotions plays a huge role in future trading, its easier to get rekt if you cannot control your emotions why trading futures
It’s really a gamble because you are trading with liquidation to your position margin while the liquidation ratio is very tight when you have low margin or high leverage. Spot trading is the only legit trading for me because you can’t burn your money no matter what will be the price of the token that you purchase unless you convert your paper loss to realized pnl. I never touch the future trading feature of my exchange account after suffering liquidation even if I’m just using low leverage.
