Looking at the recent trends of popular assets like BNB, XRP, and SOL, the actions of whales in the futures market are becoming more frequent. How to follow? The key lies in judging whether the big players and whales are moving in the same direction—when the trend aligns, that’s the true signal to enter.



Whale funds are substantial, and they usually don’t pour all their capital in at once. They often use iceberg strategies or build positions gradually through DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging). To profit from this wave of market movement, retail traders should simply replicate this logic.

How exactly to operate? Divide your position into three parts. Then set a rule: each time there’s a 1% floating loss, add another position. If it drops another 1%, then it’s time to cut losses. It sounds simple, but doing this can significantly improve your overall win rate—because you’re following the rhythm of big funds rather than acting blindly.

This is mainly a day-trading approach for futures. When there’s a floating profit, you can choose to close the position or take half off to lock in gains. This way, you participate in the whales’ profits while maintaining enough flexibility. The key is to stay disciplined and not let emotions drive your decisions.
BNB-1,16%
XRP-3,45%
SOL-1,06%

It's the same old routine of following the whale trend... Theoretically, splitting into three DCA trades and adding positions with a 1% floating loss is clever, but in practice, it's just a live demonstration of being woolled. I'll try this smart trap first and see how many points I lose in blood.

No matter how nicely it's said, it doesn't change one thing — most people simply can't follow this set of discipline.

To be honest, this DCA batch method sounds reasonable, but how many people can really stick to the discipline? I think most people are still confused after being swept up by the whales' orders.

Talking about strategies on paper, but when it comes to actually copying trades, you're still getting cut to pieces everywhere.

Adding in three installments sounds good, but I'm worried that a shaky hand might cause me to go all in at once.
