Leveraging in future trade

I lost $400 in futures leveraging from x2 to x5 max. I study TA a lot, use VWAP, RSI, MACD, Stoch, emas, BB, ichikomo...

It feels really frustrating to see that loss. I am no rookie, I am venting here, and would like to ask u: do you trade futures, should I trade spot instead? And lastly, does future trading shitcoins is in fact similar to gambling?

( i have my positions in spot with my price targets set in post only, but my anguish here is with future... i feel such a loser today.

And no, i didn't lose $ in the manipulated crash on that bloody Friday)
