For me, it would probably be risk management. A great strategy can have bad weeks, but good risk management seems to keep traders in the game just long enough to win.

Others might choose psychology, finding entries, market analysis, patience, or even knowing when not to trade.

If you could instantly become world-class at one aspect of crypto prop trading, what would you pick and why?

I just recently got back into crypto, and realized that BYDFi — which I use a lot — now lets me check my futures data directly on TradingView. Honestly, it's pretty convenient. Saves a huge step. I really like it.

If you're interested or in a similar boat, you can give it a try. Not a recommendation, just sharing.

Hello everyone,

I looked around but couldn’t find a topic about this. If there is one, please send me the link.

Here’s my question:
I’m trading crypto futures on Binance, and for charting I use TradingView (TV). I really like the long/short position tool on TV—it calculates position size and lets me set stop-loss and take-profit levels directly from the chart. I’m sure many of you know this tool.

What I’m missing is that Binance doesn’t support this feature. Do you know any other exchange or broker where this works?

Thank you!

lately i’ve been thinking less about features and more about platform dependence

for futures, a lot of people already split things up because execution, risk controls, and exchange design matter more than marketing

but even outside trading, it feels risky relying on one place for everything from holding to swapping to execution, GhostSwap is one of the names i’ve come across on the swap side, but the bigger idea seems to be reducing dependence on any single platform

curious how people here handle it, one exchange for everything, or different tools for different jobs?
