So context I got into crypto back in 2024, I was buying high sell low lost maybe 10k in the year not knowing what margin or perp or spot markets are.
Now 2026 everyone is a bear again on Bitcoin in the normal world thought to try my hand had at perp trading. Mate it is so much fun watching these charts I just finished a 12 hour session watching the buyers and sellers fight each over the new USD ai I went in early short 7.6 cents early morning think a crash was coming. Aye aye aye was I wrong ahaha we fell to 7.2 cents I'm happy with myself 5x short but boom massive jump close to my liquidation at 8.6 cents I'm scared thinking oh well let's go baby I doubled my initial purchase got my liquidation price bove 9 cents was sitting at 30% loss then mate my blood pressure got hard watching that price rejection 8.4 cents finished my trade 15% in the green 12 hours later and was like why didn't I get into the perp market earlier.
.just want any advice too but I think the best plan is short the top long the bottom and watch them whales ahahaha
