Here's a little knowledge I hope to impart on Fellow Degens
Stock perps aren’t hard to use, but they’re very easy to misuse.
When I started, I treated it like a fast way to make money: more trades, higher leverage, always in the market.
That mindset cost me.
If you’re just starting, here are some real usage tips that helped me
• It's better to start small.Don’t rush size, learn how price moves first
• Always set your stop loss before entering (not after)
• Don’t hold blindly.Funding fees add up if you’re stuck in a bad trade
• Trade with the trend ,because fighting the market drains your account
• If you missed the move, let it go. Chasing usually ends badly
Ways I approach trades now:
*I Identify the trend (up or down)
* Wait for a pullback, not the breakout candle
* Enter with a clear plan (entry, SL, target)
*Accept the outcome and move on
A few lessons I learned the hard way are;
• Overleveraging will humble you quickly
• Not every day is a trading day
• One clean trade is better than 5 random ones
• Emotions (fear/greed) do more damage than the market
Perps give a lot of opportunity, no doubt.
But the edge isn’t in doing more,
It’s in doing less, with more control.
Hope this helps ,open to learn more
