gepubliceerd op by Cointele | gepubliceerd op

Having a good eye isn't what differentiates top traders from average ones, it's the application of tried and tested strategies that give pro traders the ability to stay net positive over long periods of time.

Today we will discuss how the futures carry trade, funding rate, and use of trailing stops are used by top traders.

Each of these simple strategies do not involve proprietary trading bots or a substantial margin deposit, meaning an investor does not need a massive trading balance to generate profits.

If a trader can achieve 2% per month, their yearly gain equals 27%. Few traders would be able to match this return consistently by trying to guess market tops and bottoms.

One great strategy called the carry trade consists of buying a cryptocurrency on traditional markets and selling its fixed-month calendar futures.

Other non-directional trades include options strategies which usually involve multiple expiries and futures contracts.

In the market there are not many risk averse trading strategies available.

What sets them apart from novice traders is the use of automated trading.

Most traders know how to use stop-loss, which's a good thing, but that's not what creates winning opportunities.

Focus on learning non-directional trading and options strategies and free yourself from guessing market tops and bottoms.
