- 😓 Mistakes & Losses: Last bear market, my portfolio dropped 90%, but this time, I'm sleeping soundly.
- 🔒 Hedging: I've been hedging with futures to protect my portfolio without selling coins.
- 📉 Shorting Risks: Shorting can be risky if used for gambling, but I'm using it purely for hedging.
- 💼 Bitget Futures: I use Bitget's futures platform (they sponsor me, but I've been using them for months).
- 💰 Deposit: Go to assets, deposit USDT (or other coins like BTC, ETH).
- 🔄 Transfer: Move funds to your futures account.
- 💼 Open a Position: Choose isolated margin mode, low leverage (1X recommended), and short BTC/USDT.
- 📊 Manage: Keep an eye on positions, consider setting stop-loss/take-profit, but I prefer manual monitoring.
- 🛠️ Hedging vs. Trading: The goal is to hedge, not to trade wildly for profit.
- ⏰ Monitor Daily: Hedging isn't "set and forget"; you need to adjust positions regularly.
