My Personal Top 4 Rules in Futures Trading: How Not to Blow Up Your Entire Account
By Alena Morozova #FutureTarding trading isn’t a game of luck. It’s a battlefield of discipline, strategy, and emotional control. After 4 years of navigating the volatile waters of the crypto futures market, I’ve developed my personal 4 golden rules that help me protect my capital, stay profitable, and sleep at night. If you’re tired of making emotional trades and watching your balance drain, this article is for you. Rule #1: The Market Is Wild and Unpredictable — Take Profit Before It Turns on You The first thing every trader must accept: the market owes you nothing. You can analyze all you want, but in the end — the market is unpredictable. That perfect pattern you spotted? It can vanish within minutes. Wave structures change. Trendlines break. Candles lie. The market draws what it wants, when it wants. Key takeaway: It’s better to exit with a small profit than to hold on and exit in loss. Don’t try to prove something to the market — it will humble you. Instead, adapt. Only enter trades you clearly understand, and always have an exit plan. If it doesn’t feel right — don’t force it. Rule #2: In #Elliottwave — Wait for the Second Corrective Wave to End This is a rule I live by. When trading using Elliott Waves, I never enter long on a blind impulse. I wait for the second corrective wave to fully form. Why? Because that’s when you get your edge — your moment of clarity. By then, a confirming green candle usually forms on the 1-hour timeframe, signaling trend reversal.This disciplined entry helps me:
Filter out false setups Avoid premature tradesGain better entry prices Protect my capitalPro tip: Patience is power. Let the wave form, catch the third impulse — that’s where the real move begins. Rule #3: If the Trend Is Weak or Sideways — It’s Still a Correction. Let’s make this crystal clear: A real #bullish impulse moves fast. Always. If the coin is crawling, consolidating, or bouncing sideways without strength — it’s likely still in correction. Many traders get trapped here thinking, “This is the bottom.” But unless you see speed and strength in the movement, do not enter. If the price isn’t flying, don’t buy it. Remember: Fast up = impulse. Slow = correction. Rule #4: Don’t Overstay the Party — Take the Profit and Leave One of the most expensive lessons in trading is greed.It’s tempting to hold, thinking, “Just a bit more profit…” But the market doesn’t care. Corrections come quick, and when they do — they erase hours of profit in minutes.Instead, I prefer a different approach: • Aim for 1–1.5% solid profit • Exit during short-term impulsive spikes • If needed, re-enter later with a fresh setup This strategy has saved me countless times. Don’t let greed lock you in — take your gain and walk away. Profit is profit.

🚨 #xrp Trade Setup – Potential Long Opportunity 🚨 $XRP
On the 4H timeframe, XRP has completed a 5-wave structure, which may signal the end of the second corrective wave of the Elliott pattern.
🔍 A key trendline resistance (highlighted in the circle) is being closely watched. A breakout above this line could confirm bullish momentum and provide a solid entry point for a long position.
📈 Trade Plan: • Entry: Market buy upon breakout of trendline resistance + confirmation via previous high breakout • Stop-Loss: Just below the bottom of Wave 5 • Take-Profit: • TP1: Retest of previous high • TP2: 2.65.50 target zone
⚠️ Wait for confirmation of breakout — no entry before the resistance is broken with momentum.
This setup follows classic Elliott Wave Theory, aligned with structure, momentum, and breakout logic. Monitor price action closely!
📈 #TRUMP – Long Setup in Wave 3 of Elliott Cycle 🚀
A strong bullish impulse just completed from a classic bull flag breakout, gaining +6.5% — exactly as anticipated. ✅ Then came the wave 2 correction, and now we’re entering the highly profitable wave 3 of the Elliott Wave structure.
#ena Signal Short was given in case of price will break down the support !! Long is possible if price movement will cross up the resistance!!! Remember that market make correctives traders need to adopt to- not opposite 🙌🏻
I’ve been using a simple but powerful tool lately — flipping the chart upside down. It helps me spot market structures and count Elliott Waves more clearly.
Looking at the inverted chart, I see two flag patterns breaking downward, which resemble: • Wave 1-2 • Wave 3-4 (a descending bear flag)
If this inverted view holds, we still need a Wave 5 down to complete the structure, which would correspond to a final leg up in the actual market (since the chart is flipped).
This setup gives me a clean reason to enter a short position now.
🎯 Take profit: Measured move of the Wave 3 flag 📉 Entry: Now 🧠 Logic: Bear flag structure inside a 5-wave Elliott pattern 📊 Asset: Check the coin
#trump $TRUMP chart I posted last week played out perfectly — as expected. We just completed a large, complex correction on the 2H timeframe — textbook structure. Now we’re entering a strong bounce phase, and the price action is setting up for a sharp move to the upside. I’m targeting at least a retest of the previous high, with potential to reach the $18 level soon. 🎯 Buckle up — we’re heading north. Keep your eyes on the chart and your mindset bullish.
Before going all-in on the fifth Elliott wave, here’s what you must understand:
🌀 Bitcoin is currently inside the 4th corrective wave, and there’s a real possibility of a downward move before Wave 5 takes off.
📐 According to Fibonacci structure & Elliott theory, corrections in Wave 4 can typically go: • 🔻 -20% • 🔻 -30% • 🔻 Even -50% to -60% in rare cases (relative to Wave 3)
🎯 Key possible pullback levels: • 🔴 $105,000 (red zone, marked in blue on my chart) • 🟡 $101,000 (yellow zone, also marked in blue)
These are the zones where price could land before resuming upward into Wave 5, so entering a long position right now may carry unnecessary risk.
✅ Be patient ✅ Watch key Fibonacci zones ✅ Always consider the full wave cycle
🔍 Do Your Own Research. I provide high-probability setups, but risk management is 🔑.
📊 #BTC $BTC Elliott Wave Alert – Final Wave 5 in Progress 🚀
BTC on the 2-hour time frame appears to have completed Wave 4, and it’s now entering the FIFTH and final impulse wave of the Elliott Wave cycle. 📈
🧠 What to expect: Wave 5 usually mirrors or exceeds the length of Wave 3. This cycle shows massive bullish potential.
🎯 Targets: • Minimum: $112,000 (to match Wave 3 high) • Possible extensions: • 🟡 $115,000 • 🟡 $122,000
💼 Current Bias: LONG Position (entry on breakout confirmation or market price).
⚠️ What comes next: After Wave 5, expect a possible correction of: • 🔻 20% to 30%, or even • 🔻 Up to 50%, as the wave cycle completes. That could be the buy-the-dip opportunity before the next macro rally. 📉➡📈
✅ Trade with structure. ✅ Respect the cycle. ✅ Follow for daily technical setups and real-time calls.

📉 #trump $TRUMP Global Complex Correction in Play – Eyes on 10.389 📉
On the global time frame, we’re currently in a complex correction pattern, specifically a 3-3-5 (335) formation: • 3 waves down • 3 waves up • 5 waves down
This is a typical structure signaling a global corrective phase, not the end of the trend. 🌐
🔍 On the 4H chart, price action appears to be targeting the 10.389 level, aligning with the measured move of a bearish flag I previously shared. This flag pattern, forming within the complex correction, further supports the move toward 10.389 based on its height projection.
📌 Key Takeaway: This entire move is part of a corrective continuation, not a breakdown. Once this correction completes, history shows we often see a strong reversal – a massive pump could follow. 💥
⏳ I’m closely watching for the completion of this bearish flag near 10.389. That’s where the setup for a long position becomes extremely attractive.
🚀 Patience is key – the trend shift is brewing. The end of the complex correction could mark the start of a new bullish trend.
$XRP rocket 🚀 Correction finished 2 Elliot wave, now 3 the biggest impulse started. By Fibonacci level 1.67 might reach which is more than 3$💪🏼 SL always marked in red price from the right side ( precious low point)
