Here's a simple indicator of why most traders lose money: the funding rate.

Typically, traders aggressively short strong uptrends.
They also tend to long weak downtrends, hoping for a quick rebound.

Driven by the desire to outsmart the market and chase outsized profits, they overlook a crucial fact: data reveals that the majority of losing traders think and act this way.

Futures trading is more than just chance. To improve your odds, focus on two key elements:

1️⃣ Price Action: Analyze why the market is moving as it is. Understand market makers' intentions and align your trades accordingly.

2️⃣ Crowd Behavior: Observe short- and mid-term sentiment and consciously avoid following the herd. Consistent profits rarely belong to the majority.
