5 Common Mistakes Every Beginner Makes in Futures Trading — And How to Avoid Them.
So you’ve just entered the world of futures trading?
Let me save you from burning your account like most do.
Here are 5 deadly mistakes newbies make (and how you can avoid them):
1. Using High Leverage from Day One
25x, 50x sounds exciting — until your trade hits liquidation in seconds.
➡️ Start with 2x–5x. Focus on survival, not jackpot dreams.
2. No Stop Loss = Account RIP
No matter how confident you are, always set a SL.
➡️ A small loss is better than a wiped-out balance.
3. Overtrading & Revenge Trading
Lost one trade? You don’t need to “win it back” instantly.
➡️ Breathe. Re-analyze. Trade only with clear setups.
4. Trading Without a Plan
Random entries = random results.
➡️ Define entry, SL, TP & risk per trade before pressing "Buy/Sell".
5. Ignoring Risk Management
Betting 50% of your capital on one trade? Say goodbye.
➡️ Risk 1–2% per trade, consistently.
Futures trading isn’t gambling. It’s a game of risk, mindset, and patience.
I’ve seen people blow up $500 accounts in 5 minutes just because they didn’t respect the rules.
Don’t let that be you.
Start slow. Learn. Earn.
The market rewards the disciplined.
