We dig into beginner mistakes, behavioral traps (fear/greed), and a step-by-step view of scanning, entries, exits, and moving stops into profit. This is education, not financial advice. If you explore futures, set limits, learn the rules, and protect your downside.\u00a0\nAbout the guest:\nNiko Mercuris is a futures trader and founder of Crypto Renegades, a high-ticket trading mastermind with 1,600+ paying members. After rebuilding from a major loss during the 2008 crash, he now teaches price-action trading, risk frameworks, and disciplined use of leverage.\nKey takeaways:\n\n\nLeverage is a tool, not a shortcut: use small margin, predefined stop-losses, and strict risk caps per trade.\n\n\nTreat every trade like a project: define entry, stop, and take-profit before clicking buy/sell.\n\n\nAim for consistency over jackpots\u2014stack reasonable wins; avoid \u201cdouble-down while green\u201d behavior.\n\n\nPrice action basics: identify support/resistance, wait for breakouts from a wedge/apex, then place orders with risk defined.\n\n\nConvert winners into no-risk trades by moving stops into profit once price advances.\n\n\nKeep losses tiny (e.g., 1% of account per trade) so you can survive a streak and stay in the game.\n\n\nMost blow-ups are emotional: fear exits winners too early; greed adds size late. Build checklists and time-boxed sessions to reduce impulse.\n\n\nMarkets provide frequent opportunities; patience and process beat prediction and hype.\n\n\nCommunity can teach tactics, but personal risk responsibility is non-negotiable.\n\n\nEducation first: practice on paper or with minimal size while building your rule-set.\n\n\nConnect with the guest:\n\n\nInstagram: Search \u201cNiko Mercuris\u201d and select the Meta-verified (blue check) account to avoid imposters.
