READING WILL HELP YOU AVOID LOSING MONEY
When participating in futures trading - especially with highly volatile assets like Bitcoin - managing emotions is the key factor in determining success or failure. Here are the reasons why:
1. Futures have high leverage → Emotions can easily get out of control
• With leverage of 10x, 20x, or even 100x, just a small price movement can lead to significant profits or wipe out your account in minutes.
• Emotions like greed when seeing large profits, or panic when the account is in the red can lead to:
• Chasing prices when they are pumping.
• Cutting losses too early when prices have just slightly adjusted.
• Holding onto losses too long, hoping “it will turn around.”
2. Hasty decisions can easily lead to losses
• Unstable emotions can make you:
• Not adhere to the trading plan you have set.
• Change targets/losses midway because “you feel the price will go the opposite way.”
• Engage in revenge trading after a losing trade.
3. Psychology affects analysis
• When you fear losses or are overly optimistic, you will:
• Ignore clear technical signals.
• Look for reasons to enter trades based on feelings rather than objective analysis.
4. Those who control their emotions will stick to the plan
• Disciplined trading, no FOMO.
• Knowing when to cut losses, taking profits reasonably.
• Not letting a few winning/loss trades affect the overall long-term strategy.
✅ Ways to practice emotional management:
1. Always set stop-loss and take-profit.
2. Keep a trading journal to recognize bad habits.
3. Do not trade when feeling unstable.
4. Only use capital you can afford to lose.
