[#Futures Rule Number 5]
Habituate taking profits off the table
Whenever you hit a solid gain (e.g., 5–10%), transfer that portion to a separate account or wallet so it’s no longer at risk
This prevents overtrading or revenge trading with your winnings—locking in gains protects your capital and psychological balance.
Allocate just enough in your trading account to cover your risk tolerance and keep the rest secure—consider leaving only 20–50% of profits in the trader’s account and withdrawing the rest.
I always withdraw 50% of my profit of the week every Friday.
Remember. The funds on an exchange aren’t truly yours until you withdraw them.
