Looking for top courses on crypto Perpetual trading

Hey all, I've been in the game trading crypto spot and futures for a bit, but now I really want to dive deep into perpetual trading strategies, risk management, and all those advanced techniques to trade with confidence. Does anyone have recommendations for the best course or mentorship that’s specifically about perpetuals? I'm after something hands-on with proven success, ideally covering: - Entry and exit strategies for perpetuals - How to use leverage effectively in different market situations - Position sizing tips and ways to avoid liquidation - Scalping, day trading, and swing trading strategies for perpetuals - The mental side and discipline needed for high leverage trading I'm leaning towards courses that get straight to the point and aren't just filled with theory. I’d prefer ones that show live examples or at least detailed backtested methods. If you've taken a course that really helped you turn a profit in perpetuals, drop the name and your experience. Appreciate any help!

I will advise you not to use leverage at all. This is the best advise a good trader can tell you. Also know that more than 85% of traders are losing. Especially those that going long and short position. Just be very careful and learn about money and risk management.

Just read some article or short youtube video and try it on a demo account. You'd have better understanding when you're executing the theory itself directly into the trading platform than just seeing some videos or reading some books. At the end of the day, you're the one that need to tailor a good strategy to make profit. Those books are just textbook guide that won't always right in current market with so many variables.

You will have a lot of material to look at. Most of the crypto exchanges do have a section that has learning material for a beginner for example, Bitmex has this; 1. https://www.bitmex.com/crypto-trading-guides 2. https://blog.bitmex.com/category/posts/trading-guides/?lang=en_us 3. https://www.bitmex.com/app/tradingOverview Binance has this; 1. https://academy.binance.com/en There is also YouTube and Github - https://github.com/learn-crypto-trading/learn-crypto-trading.github.io?tab=readme-ov-file

Let us put it this way, we can read all the textbooks that we want or watch videos all day long, but the actual experience is still different. Hence, once you acquire some knowledge, try to deploy it in actual trading. Do remember, use small amount of money first. At least, even if you got it wrong, the damage is minimal. With all the years that I've been in crypto trading, these are few factors that I've learned >start small, have a good grasp of what's crypto trading is >check the reputation of the exchange >check the contract address, not only once, at least twice >check the gas fees involved, it may be high or more than the amount you are transacting with >check the liquidity of the trading pair that you want to trade with (higher liquidity is better so you can easily get your order)

I haven't paid any courses that relates to crypto trading, and if there is, I'm pretty sure that it's a paid one, and yes there's nothing wrong with the knowledge and experience being paid, but I always believe that learning from your OWN experience is better than with someone else. Other people can teach you strategies. Other people can give your courses here and there just for you to learn, but what happened to them doesn't guarantee that it will happen to you. I don't usually recommend newbie to try leverage trading, but if you really wanted to, make sure that you're ready for the risk that you will be facing because 99% or even 100% of newbies lose their capital in their first try. Your own experience matters. I don't think that there's any course out there that gives you live examples, or backtested strategies like you said because a strategy that works for the expert might not work for you as a newbie. You can watch videos all you want. You can read threads related to trading all the time that you want, but that doesn't guarantee you success. I'll repeat it again. YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE MATTERS.

Experience will be better than taking a trading class. If you really need to learn, it's better to find a friend who's willing to help you offline than to pay for a trading class. Regardless, these trading classes are more likely to be scams than to provide genuine benefits. Try learning with 1-3 scalping indicators, study them, and see if you succeed. Then, experiment with different timeframes. Perhaps through this experiment, you'll find a way to better understand technical indicators after practicing. Try to use demo trading, before using real money just to start your practice end experiments.

I don't think there's a guide or course that has proven results. Mostly those guides are basic and most advance are ICT and SMC but honestly whatever strategy you ideate the same. Experience is better to learn from mistakes. However, if you want to gain more knowledge I can provide some good source related to patterns and strategies but you are the one will optimize those strategies through  papermoney.

Do you still believe that courses or mentors are helping us to crack profits from any market? If courses are capable of enabling one to make consistent profits then I bet that more than 90% of of people from this community would not have been writing posts here but might be busier on trading. Trading is NOT an university degree that you can pursuit by mastering few courses. It is a magical thing in more precise which is the reason why 99% of aspirants end up in biting the dust. Courses are just 1% in your total preparation for trading and rest are how depth you practice in demo or paper along with a strategy.

I found this to be true when I started trading because I discovered that the people who think that all traders are successful are those who do not trade at all and look at traders from the outside but the moment you begin trading and you understand what it's about and the risk involved, you begin to see for yourself that most traders that appear successful actually have their success from other means and not trading itself. The number of successful trader is very few, but it is still very possible to be among the very few successful traders.

It is true that you learn better from your own experiences, but you must agree with me that there is no need experiencing some minor setbacks which others have encountered and have put down their experience into writing or courses that you can learn from. I recommend learning the basics from someone practicing what they teach and recording some very good degree of success. It is also partially true that not all goodies that your instructor experiences that yourself would experience, but it is important you have a knowledge of many working strategies because it would help you in the formulation of your unique profit pattern.

If you consume these materials, you will end up as a very bad loser because most of the strategy they will teach you there are obsolete and not suitable for the current market conditions that is highly manipulated. If you want to learn about good strategies, avoid those courses in exchange and use Youtube that is filled with recent courses that can help you achieve profitability faster. You can also add some lectures on trading psychology to help with the emotional aspect of trading which is also very pattern.

A lot of suggestion have been previously posted but I would like to share my recommendation as I've learned from here, the good thing about this free course is that they don't use fancy words too much (technical words) so you would really understand it easily. You can go to "Undergraduate - Senior" course since that covers most of the things your looking as per your post: https://www.babypips.com/learn/forex It's a forex trade though it's not that different from cryptocurrency trading, you can still apply those learnings in trading.

If you do want to have some clear understanding about perpetuals then you can read up these links. https://www.gate.com/learn/articles/crypto-perpetual-futures-a-complete-guide-to-trading-and-strategies/6092 https://www.investopedia.com/what-are-perpetual-futures-7494870 https://medium.com/@cryptoforceo/crypto-perpetual-trading-guide-for-beginners-ef8e9ab0a44d https://highstrike.com/perpetual-futures/ If you do speak about strategies then you are the ones would be making this one out. If you do find out some mentors then it would be that just that better that you should make yourself that self learn. Just simply know about the basics about perpetual and read up some common strategies and then trying out to apply at your own trades. You wouldnt be necessarily to have some mentor and you are just that basically wasting off money with that because those mentors will be just that trying out to teach with those basics. Im not saying that those who are paying up for mentors are lazy but this is some sort of. Trying out to make yourself learn at your own pace isnt something that stressful or pressure because you can do this at your own pace and approach. Just trying out with some testing in between strategies and find out on which one suits in various situations. If you do have tons of money to spent and deal up with these then its your choice but make it sure that you would be able to assess it out whether it was worth or just that totally that a waste of time and money. There are those learnings that cant be able to learn at reading and theories on which most of the time or surely talks that the other way around on acquiring out those learnings on which this would be talking about actual engagement.

I don't really think so, since I believe that a general trading guide doesn't have a specific time frame if when will they work. Like for example, they will only teach you if what is the chart, the candles, and so on... and how to use them. Some makes us see the time when they posted the tutorial but we shouldn't mind that. There are still some authors that updates their write-ups but I think they mainly fix the typos, so the change may not be that drastic. You mentioned Youtube there but he also said it above. We must only be careful if we don't have a direct link because it is only easy to get lost there, as Youtube is like a huge jungle now with lots of wild animals or the click baits and misleading videos that only wants to benefit from us.

Best course? Well I think best course can be determined by you if you go on YouTube, search for best setups for perpetual trading, beginners guide for perpetual trading, risk management of perpetual trading, etc. You will get different videos courses of what you searched for and while going through them, you can detect the one that best explains to you the knowledge you seek. This Beginners guide to crypto perpetual explains some basic things but you can go deeper while searching for other steps. Just be aware that the risk is as much as trading futures too.

There is no need to rush to lose your deposit, you will lose it anyway, since you decided to trade futures. You should focus on spot trading, and only after you learn how to make a profit can you consider trading with leverage.

Futures is definitely a huge way to lose all your money, many people do not realize that. Futures makes it quicker to lose all what you put in, and if you are new, then you should not be able to do that. If you could do a better job, then you should try to do a better job, it's that simple. Many people end up not realizing that, and they end up losing a ton of money very quickly. Life isn't always that great of course, sometimes you lose money even during spot trading, but that doesn't mean you should, because if you know what you are doing, then at spot trading should allow you to do a better job. We can't really assume a future trading as a beginner could though, that's still a terrible thing and you should not be doing that.

If you want to be a successful trader, do not focused on the different theories you can get from enrolling into a course, or you can get from textbooks or articles that are a must read. Focus more on maximizing your experience instead, so that you will develop your own skills and strategies, create reliable statistics and market analysis, and improve your trading performance in the market. Trading is not just knowledge acquisition, but it’s certainly a lot more about application and how you will find solutions to every market hassles that is challenging you as a trader. Learn trading by doing, not by enriching your trading terminologies.

For OP, go for what others suggested above that are FREE. Avoid those paid courses because some of them, or most, are just the same as what you can access in free courses, especially on YouTube videos, if you want to learn from videos, or else go for some written articles, just like what was shared above.
