Lately, futures trading has been really unpredictable. The market has been moving in unexpected ways, and the high volatility is making it hard to keep a steady return.
Just yesterday, I went 100% long on POPCAT with 20x leverage. Things looked good at first, but within 30 minutes, the price came back to my entry point and I ended up making nothing on the trade.
Moments like this are making me rethink my strategy. I'm starting to feel that spot trading might be a better option for now. It’s more stable, and I don’t have to worry about getting liquidated. I’m thinking of growing my holdings in coins like BGB, SOL, and SUI instead.
But before I fully switch, I’m wondering if there’s a way to manage or hedge against this kind of volatility while still trading futures. Is there a smart way to protect my trades or reduce the risk? Any advice would really help.
I think you need to consider the trading volume of the pair you are trading, POPCAT is far low trading volume compared to these top altcoins like SOL or SUI.
So expect huge votalities too and less trading activities as trading volume are low plus market cap also low - it could add about volatility in trading futures.
