Hi guys, recently I moved a big portion of my funds to the future trading account and I'm doing so many future trading. In some I make profit and some I don't.

So, I want to to if you can suggest me any good source to learn future trading? Like any YouTube channel, or any course from Udemy? I would be grateful. Also you can leave any tips if you want to share. Thanks.

I dont really suggest futures trading but since you are interested with it then i do recommend some Udemy courses that will might be helpful for you.

They cost $12-13 and if you dont mind on spending some bucks then this might worth to look for.

think of it like a cassino with steroids.
before messing with futures I'd really tell you to master risk management without leverage.

and remember: everything higher than 5x is closer to gambling thank to trading.

friendly advice:
read Taleb.

Experience.

This is the king and key to your improvement in trading. Next, youtube channels that are teaching the basics of trading. You will be familiarized with those charts and candlesticks.

It's all that you need to know first.

Someone was asking a question about trading a few days ago - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5279857. Maybe you can get some helpful links in there.

Risk Management should be on top of your list. That should be easy to look up on YouTube and a few blogs. Always use low leverage as a beginner x5 Max. Binance, Bitmex and Bybit have some very good articles about futures trading. Just check out their blogs.
Good luck on your new Journey.

You can search for binance tutorial mate, and talking about courses for trading I think there's no specific lessons on that. Social media and youtube tutorials could help you these time of digital era, particular to social media. I can't give further comments on what links you should open on YouTube, but my tips on is for binance, Kucoin, Huobi and there's a lot more that YouTube can recommend you.

I suggest you start with free courses first. There are a lot out there, try to avoid those paid courses which may cost you some amount of money. There are lot of resources that are free out there.
I am sharing you this one source which I just recently found in twitter, this twitter user really a gem. He/she really sharing a totally free trading education for everybody,
Just like these: Updated Tutorials, better than any paid classes that you will buy. (https://twitter.com/EmperorBTC/status/1292790838070620162)


Keep learning!

I agree with @GreatArkansas and I know this guy was good at trading too. I believe there's plenty of free courses or books you can find on the web. Thanks for the links by the way @GreakArkansas and the right guy to follow on Twitter. I can digest easy if there's someone showing visuals and at the same time showing where and what to do but reading some good books about trading isn't that bad as well. I prefer YouTube as it's free and look for free books out there in the web regarding futures trading.

I have a lot of e-books that can level up your trading. Maybe try to learn the basic trading fist before you enter future trading. If you are good on basic trading, It will be more easier for you to do future trading because you need to establish first strategy on future trading so that you can have a consistent profit. Drop me your telegram username so that I can share my e-books about trading. Sometimes it's best to read e-books rather than watching trading course so that you analyze all the tools and strategies directly to the source and apply your own strategy that fit to your style. We have different preferences so I believe you can explore and create different ways to maximize trading using all tools available.

Futures trading is pretty much the exact same thing as trading spot the only difference is that sometimes there is a premium in the price of the underlying and generally since its a derivative there is usually high leverage.

With spot you get 1x leverage since you are purchasing with cash pretty much. With margin you can get between 3-10x depending on the exchange. And with futures you can get 125x depending on the brokerage. Obviously the higher leverage is better if you know what you are doing.

However since you are new you are better off just trading spot and see how it goes. If it goes well then move on to margin trading where you can short. If it goes well then go trade futures.

It isn't easy to start future trading as that trading type will be more complex to analyze. Youtube is the best source to learn about future trading, but to find the best source, you need to find by yourself because I am sure that everyone will say that their choice is better than the other. What I can suggest to you is to find the right channel that fits you. Fit means you don't have a problem understanding the lesson or explaining it from the author, and you can follow the lesson step by step. You can find the other lesson from Udemy since that site offers so many lessons that you can learn, and who knows, you will have another strategy to trade.

The internet is filled with resourced. You can learn from there. Just google it and you will find those youtube channels and courses (i don't think those "courses" are worth doing and spending money on). But just don't rely on those courses. You should start trading too with small amount. Your experience is what will make you a good traders. You will make mistakes with your trades and lose money. Learn from those mistakes and try to avoid them in the future. Consider those losses as a form of payment to gain experience.

I would refrain from suggesting youtube and udemy or any online course system directed towards crypto. Read carefully, you dont want those tutorials of teaching methods that are bound to implant in a seed for altcoin craze or DeFi craze in your brain. That is what majority of the youtubers have done in the past.

Rather I would suggest learning about fundamental and technical first. That too from the stock market trading channels. What I mean to say is that stay away from crypto based trading channels. Once you learn them use the same analysis on crypto and you should be good. For any new entrant to the market, this is what I suggest.

BTW, go for spot trading, futures is way more risky though. Spot take time need patience but is less risky. That too only bitcoin is what you should trade on.

I agree about this, in fact it is much easier for us to access any legal searching bar/tool and find the relative information that we are looking for. Google and youtube contains a lot of information that we are needed. And to be honest this is where i got too my basic knowledge about cryptocurrency. And this is a big help for my start up. For now i am learning more and more from my own experience in trading.

Thanks everyone for your valuable reply. Got some good source link which will help to improve my trading skills hopefully. And also thanks for those valuable tips you all given me. Hope for the best.
