(Not only for Newbies – but also for Traders who think they already know.)

1. Money in the wallet is not necessarily your money.

Many people enter Futures with the mindset of experimenting and learning. But the more they win, the larger the volume becomes. The peak is when greed arises, accumulating Big Long/Short orders and… burning out completely.

Lesson: Only when you withdraw USDT to the bank, that is truly your money. Winning without closing is no different from dreaming in the daytime.

2. No trading plan.

Futures is a high-speed intellectual game. Without a clear plan, you will easily be influenced by emotions: closing SL, moving TP, entering random orders, chaotic DCA. That is not trading, but "playing emotionally."

Lesson: Always have a clear trading plan before entering an order. Enter when the setup is right. Stay out when the setup is wrong. Absolutely comply.

3. Not setting profit targets.

Everyone wants to earn more, but unlimited trading will increase unlimited risks. Without specific goals, you will easily FOMO every "opportunity" and burn out due to excess orders.

Lesson: Set daily/weekly/monthly profit targets (for example: 5%/day, 20%/month). Achieve and then rest. Don't be greedy to survive.

4. Not keeping a trading journal.

Winning brings joy, losing brings anger. But afterwards... no lessons learned. If you don't record the reasons for entering the order, the way to handle it, and the emotions at that moment… you will repeat the mistakes forever.

Lesson: Write down every trade. After each win/loss, evaluate the reasons and emotions at that moment. Trading is a process of self-improvement.

5. Increasing capital too early.

100 dollars trading wisely, but when it rises to 10k, 100k... the mindset starts to get chaotic. The negative amount is too large for you to retain rationality, even though you still apply the correct % of capital.

Lesson: Increasing capital must follow a roadmap, increase when you have controlled your emotions at a low level. No one can race against someone else's wallet and finish first.

6. Overly trusting technical analysis (TA).

TA is a tool, not a "truth." Since 2022, many “masters” have burned out due to overly trusting models while ignoring news factors, shark games, on-chain data, or macro.

Lesson: Combine TA with news, macro data, and cash flow fluctuations. Trade with a cool head and an overall perspective.

Trading Futures is not for those lacking discipline.

This is not a game of emotions or blind faith – but a profession for those who understand the rules, control themselves, and patiently survive.
