In futures trading, one candle against you — and your entire balance can vanish in seconds.
Stop-loss isn’t “just in case”, it’s your survival tool.
I used to think: “I’ll close the trade manually.”
But the market moves faster than your fingers.
Result? Lost 80% of my balance in one move.
Now I always set a stop-loss:
Based on key levels
Without emotion
Accepting the risk before entering the trade
If you want to stay in the game — use a stop.
If you want to gamble — cross your fingers.
