All My Futures Positions Are Red—Here’s What u can do Instead of Panicking
We’ve all been there—you open a few futures trades thinking you’ve timed the market right… and suddenly, everything’s in the red.
Instead of panic-selling or rage-quitting, here’s what I did—and what you can do too:
1. Stop. Breathe. Zoom Out
It’s easy to overreact when you’re watching losses tick in real time. Succesaful traders learn control their emotions.
2. Check Your Risk Management
Losing trades aren’t always the problem. Poor risk management is.
Was I overleveraged?
Did I risk more than 2% per trade?
Did I set a stop-loss?
3. Review What Went Wrong
Every loss is a lesson. I opened my charts and asked:
Did I enter during low volume?
Was there a major news event I ignored?
Did I follow a plan—or just follow FOMO?
