🎯💳💳🎁 «Two vouchers, one lesson: what Anya is experiencing on the exchange».
Just opening a futures position voucher makes your heart race so much that it feels like the whole market can hear it. Even if you have experience with gifted vouchers, the excitement doesn’t go away. Each new position is a small battle with yourself: “Am I doing the right thing? What if the price goes against me?”
– Okay, it’s just a voucher… nothing too serious.
– But you can’t change anything, Anya. You just click and wait...
– Alright, I’ll observe… loss or profit — at least there’s something.
This coin isn’t the one I’d like to trade. I prefer BTC, ETH, GT, LTC, SOL. But I have two vouchers, and the outcome depends only on how events unfold. Moreover, vouchers are a gift from the exchange for my work on it.
I place the first order. My heart beats faster, my eyes carefully study the chart, my thoughts jump between margin, leverage, and PnL.
– Okay, Anya, you’ve done this before… everything’s fine.
– But I’m still scared.
– Just learning, learning, and more learning.
And now the moment of closing the order. The order disappears, and the first USDT appears on the balance.
– Oh, it’s nothing to worry about, I’m not at a loss… — I sigh.
The first voucher gave +0.103002 USDT, which isn’t wealth, but the feeling of victory is real.
Second voucher. I click “Open.” The excitement rises again.
– Heart, calm down, you’ve done this already.
– Yes, but I can’t change anything… whatever will be, will be.
– Then watch and analyze. That’s how you learn.
And now the moment of closing the second order. The balance increases by +0.2894165 USDT.
– Well, that’s a bit more, but still modest. The main thing is, I understood how it works.
– If it weren’t for the vouchers, I wouldn’t dare try so quickly. But here — you see everything that’s deducted, how your position works, and you can draw conclusions. The excitement is scary, but it’s valuable.
A small profit, modest amounts — a total of 0.3924185 USDT — won’t make me rich, but it’s the first victory. And even if I wouldn’t trade this coin seriously, the experience and knowledge remain. Learning is hard, but with time, it’s possible.
Even after several voucher experiences, the excitement is present every time. Each new position is a small test, a small battle with yourself: controlling emotions, understanding the market, waiting for the result. And because of this, experience becomes valuable. It’s a conversation with yourself because you make the choice and bear the responsibility alone.
I am happy: the trades ended without losses. Learning and practice remain, and the excitement makes the process even more exciting. It’s hard to learn — it’s easy in battle. Learning is hard, but possible. And even with a restless heart, I feel I am moving forward and becoming more confident.
Learning and practice are priceless. Vouchers allow you to make mistakes without big losses, understand trading mechanics, and control your emotions. Even if the coin isn’t a priority, experience and confidence stay. And even through the excitement, I am happy that I was able to go through this path and take another step in learning. But for my efforts, I would like a greater reward. And if there are contests again, I will choose those where real money is involved. Because money is money. Although for some, it doesn’t matter, but when you have a family, you can’t do without it. Because only bread and buns are not enough to live. Thank you for the experience, and let’s move on.

Reference:
1. Margin — the money you deposit to open or support a position.
2. Initial margin — the minimum amount to open a position, and maintenance margin — the minimum to avoid liquidation.
3. Leverage — the ability to control a larger position than your account balance. For example, 10x leverage allows opening positions ten times larger than your deposit, increasing both profit and risk.
4. PnL (Profit and Loss) — profit or loss on a position. Calculated based on the actual closing price of the order and includes leverage.
5. Funding rate (Funding Rate) — a mechanism that keeps the perpetual futures price close to the spot price. Longs pay shorts or vice versa depending on market conditions.
