🚨The painful lesson of losing 2 billion! Don't rush blindly! 7 survival rules for futures trading that you must read!
Do you think futures are a "shortcut to wealth"? I once paid 2 billion Vietnamese dong in tuition to understand: if you want to win, you must first learn to survive!
🔥1. Leverage should not exceed 5 times!
High leverage = high liquidation rate. Don't chase quick profits with 20x or 50x leverage, only to lose your principal in the end.
→ Keep it within 5 times, profits are sufficient, and risks are manageable.
💣2. Always set stop-loss!
Without a stop-loss, just wait to be taught by the market.
Be clear before entering:
Entry point
Stop-loss price (SL)
Take-profit level (TP)
At least achieve a 1:2 or even 1:3 risk-reward ratio; even if you're wrong half the time, you can still make money.
🧠3. Don’t trade based on emotions!
Want to jump in just because others are making money? That’s the first step to huge losses.
You must:
Have technical logic support (support/resistance, RSI, MACD)
When emotions are unstable, it’s better to rest than to trade
Record every trade and summarize the experience
📋4. Ask yourself a few questions before entering:
Is the market going up or down?
Are the technical signals clear?
Have SL/TP been set properly?
Can you relax and not watch the market after entering? If not → don’t trade
Is risk controlled within 1-2% of total assets?
💰5. Manage your principal and live longer!
Risk only 1-2% per trade
Never go all in
Even if you lose 10 times in a row, you won't blow your account, which gives you a chance to bounce back
🎯6. Only make certain trades
Not every day is suitable for entering the market.
I only act when:
Signals + trends are clear
No sudden news
Charts are clean and volatility is stable
When there are no opportunities, staying out is also a move!
📌7. Practical advice:
Do less but do it well, it’s better than shooting blindly
Good opportunities come only every 2-3 days, and they are worth waiting for
If the market is strange, take a break, don’t force it
Don’t fantasize about "withdrawing every day", that’s an illusion
✅ Summary:
Futures trading is not a joke; true experts don’t make profits every day but learn to survive for the next victory.
If you want to play, set aside greed, manage risks, and take it slow.
