Contract losses? I wrote these 5 rules on my desk and managed to go from liquidation to stable profits
In these two years of trading contracts, my biggest gain is not how much money I made, but that I finally understand that trading contracts is not about courage, it's about details.
Many people enter the market impulsively, and only realize afterward that they had no plan. It's not that the market doesn't give opportunities; it's that they weren't prepared to take them.
I have incurred losses and faced liquidation, but in the end, I was able to stabilize thanks to these 5 rules.
It's not that following these will guarantee success, but after applying them, my winning rate has visibly improved.
1. Write a plan before entering the market; if you don't write it, don't trade.
Don't impulsively enter just because you see fluctuations; the market is not about who reacts quickly, but who reacts accurately.
Now, before I enter each trade, I write down my reason for entering, stop-loss, and take-profit. If I can't articulate it, it means that trade has no logic, and I shouldn't engage.
2. Don't over-leverage, don't go all in.
You are not a gambling god, and the market will not rebound just because you lost.
I never risk more than 30% of my total capital on a single trade; when the market is unclear, I might even only use 10%. It's okay to earn less, but not getting overextended is really important.
3. Set stop-losses; don’t leave room for hope.
Once a person starts thinking “let's wait and see,” they are not far from liquidation.
For every trade I enter, I set the stop-loss and take-profit simultaneously; the moment I hit the confirm button, I turn off my emotions.
It's not about enduring a little longer to turn the tide; the market won't change direction because you are uncomfortable.
4. If you lose two trades in a row, stop immediately.
When emotions run high, even the best market can lead to losses.
I have a rule for myself: if I lose two trades consecutively, no matter how tempting the market is, I immediately exit and stop watching. Enforce calmness, enforce a break.
Sometimes, doing fewer trades actually preserves your capital.
5. Review your trades every night to find that thorn.
It's not that reviewing once will make you a master; it's about doing it every day that helps you see where you repeatedly make mistakes.
Having a solid plan is essential for real profits in this market, and being part of a team is far better than toiling alone. Want to turn things around? Then get in touch with me!
