❗Read this before you open another Futures position
I’ve lost more than –$3,660 trading Crypto Futures.
Sometimes –76% in a single day.
It took me 48 winning days to build confidence…
and 105 losing days to destroy everything.
If you are a beginner, I want you to learn from my pain and start smarter than I did.
🔥 Where It All Went Wrong
1️⃣ I was trading without a proven strategy
I jumped into random trades because of hype, Telegram signals, news, and emotions.
There was no system, no checklist, no edge.
Beginners think trading is prediction.
Professionals know trading is probability.
2️⃣ I used high leverage like a lottery ticket 🎰
20x… 50x… even 125x sometimes.
Just one wick against me → liquidation.
Leverage doesn’t increase skill.
It only increases the speed of losing.
3️⃣ No stop-loss = guaranteed disaster
I believed:
“I’ll close it manually if it goes wrong…”
But I didn’t.
Market moves faster than your brain when you panic.
Stop-loss protects you from the version of yourself that thinks “It will come back…”
4️⃣ I overtraded and fed the exchange fees 🤑
My trading volume was $409,853 with very small capital.
I paid so much in fees that even some winning trades became losing ones.
The exchange was eating while I was bleeding.
5️⃣ I tried to recover losses with revenge trading
One loss → I increased position size → Bigger loss.
This cycle destroyed me many times.
Trading angry is like driving drunk.
6️⃣ I ignored risk management
I only focused on profit.
Never calculated risk per trade.
This is the fastest way to blow an account.
7️⃣ I didn’t journal trades 📒
I was repeating the same mistakes every week.
No accountability = No improvement.
✅ The Lessons That Saved Me
✔ Lesson 1: Protect capital like your life depends on it
Because in trading… it actually does.
Without capital → No future in markets.
✔ Lesson 2: Use a rule-based strategy only
Pick one:
✅ ORB (Opening Range Breakout)
✅ VWAP Trend system
✅ Break + Retest
✅ Support & Resistance + RR rules
Master ONE setup →
Trade it 100 times → Review → Improve
✔ Lesson 3: Follow the 1% Rule
Risk only 1% per trade.
If capital = ₹10,000 → Max loss = ₹100
This keeps you alive long enough to learn.
Small losses are tuition fees.
✔ Lesson 4: Journal every trade
Write:
Why I entered
Why I exited
Did I follow the plan?
Mistake or not?
Emotions during trade?
Your edge is built here — not on charts.
✔ Lesson 5: Trading is 80% psychology
If you cannot control:
Fear
Greed
FOMO
Recency bias
Revenge behavior
…then even the best strategy cannot save you.
Trading success = Emotional discipline.
🔁 My New Approach (copy if you’re serious)
📌 Step 1 — Paper trade for 30 days
📌 Step 2 — Only 1 setup, same time every day
📌 Step 3 — 1% risk per trade
📌 Step 4 — Track everything
📌 Step 5 — Scale slowly after consistency
This is how traders survive long enough to become profitable.
🧠 Before You Trade Futures Again, Remember:
“Futures can make you rich fast.
But they can make you broke faster.”
Make knowledge your leverage — not greed.
✅ What You Should Do Right Now
If you’re a beginner:
🔥 Focus on learning
🔥 Avoid high leverage
🔥 Master risk management
🔥 Journal trades
🔥 Aim for long-term consistency
Survive first. Profits come later.
💬 Final Message

but with responsibility.
