"Stop Loss: The Most Ignored Lifesaver in Futures Trading"
In futures trading, the thrill of leverage often blinds traders to the most basic yet powerful risk management tool — the stop loss. Many believe they're skilled enough to manually exit at the right time or think the market will bounce back. But here’s the truth:
No stop loss = No safety net.
Markets don’t care about your entry price, your hopes, or your screen time. One unexpected move can wipe out weeks, even months of gains — or worse, your entire capital.
Treat your stop loss as a non-negotiable. It's not a weakness — it's discipline. It's survival.
If you're not using a stop loss, you're not trading — you're gambling.
