About Aptos Trading
Aptos is a newer chain with supply unlocks and ecosystem milestones that can influence price. It can move sharply on news, and liquidity can vary across venues.
APT futures require conservative sizing. Use limit orders when possible, and allow more room for volatility. If there are known unlocks or major events, reduce leverage and keep stops in place.
APT often reacts to ecosystem milestones and unlock schedules. Mark those dates and avoid holding large leverage into them. If you trade APT, prefer quick, rule based trades rather than long holds.
APT can gap around unlock news. Use a defined trade plan and avoid adjusting the stop after entry. Smaller size and faster exits usually beat long holds in this asset. If volume is fading, skip the trade.
Risk Management Tips for APT
- Check token unlock dates before trading.
- Keep size small when liquidity is thin.
- Use limit orders for entries and exits.
- Reduce leverage around major events.
APT Post-Unlock Recovery Trade
APT dropped 12% ahead of a large token unlock as the market priced in sell pressure. After the unlock date passed, sell pressure was lighter than expected. Price found support at $11.80 and formed a double bottom on the 4H chart with bullish divergence on MACD.
Entry
$12.10 (above double bottom neckline)
Stop Loss
$11.40 (below double bottom low)
Take Profit
$13.80 (pre-unlock price level)
Position
80 APT (~$968 notional) with 3x leverage on a $2,000 account risking 2%
R/R
1:2.4 (risk $0.70 per APT, reward $1.70 per APT)
Outcome: APT recovered to $13.50 over 5 days as the unlock sell pressure dissipated. Exit at $13.40. Total realized P&L: +$104 on $2,000 account (+5.2%).
Lesson: Token unlocks are often sell-the-rumor events. If the actual sell pressure after unlock is lower than expected, a recovery trade offers good risk-reward. The double bottom pattern with divergence added confirmation. Always wait until the unlock has passed before entering the recovery trade.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate position size for APT?
Enter your account balance, risk percentage (recommended 1-2%), entry price, and stop loss. The calculator determines the optimal Aptos position size that limits your loss to your specified risk amount if stop loss is hit.
What is a good Risk/Reward ratio for APT trades?
A minimum R/R of 1:2 is recommended for Aptos trading. This means your potential profit should be at least twice your potential loss. Higher R/R ratios (1:3 or better) are preferred for swing trades.
How does leverage work with APT futures?
Leverage allows you to control a larger Aptos position with less capital. For example, 10x leverage means $100 controls $1,000 worth of APT. Higher leverage increases both profit potential and liquidation risk.
What is the maximum leverage for APT?
Maximum leverage varies by exchange. Bybit and Binance offer up to 125x for APTUSDT perpetual contracts, but we recommend using 5-25x for sustainable trading.
How accurate is the APT liquidation price calculation?
Our calculator provides an estimate based on standard maintenance margin rates (0.5%). Actual Aptos liquidation prices may vary slightly by exchange and your position size tier. Always verify with your trading platform.
