Futures trading is a silent killer. Here’s why:
I got into crypto in 2023 and slowly built my capital. I worked a normal office job and invested part of my salary into spot. It was steady and low-stress.
I kept seeing futures ads and eventually bought a $3,000 course. In the first months I made about $4,000 and thought I understood the market.
Then everything changed after one billionaire entered the White House.
Patterns stopped working, analysis stopped working, and futures became pure manipulation.
I wasn’t trading. I was liquidity.
Almost every position got liquidated within half an hour, even with 3-5x leverage.
The hardest part was admitting I lost. My ego kept pushing me to “make it back,” which only made things worse.
I lost money on 7 CEX platforms.
Total loss: $40,000.
Debts, sleepless nights, health issues and constant stress.
