If you decide to trade ENA
- Buy on spot only. Futures, margin and leverage are widely considered impermissible and are the fastest way to lose money.
- Avoid exchange “Earn”, lending and fixed-yield products. Those usually pay interest.
- Only use money you can afford to lose, and always set a stop-loss.
