Many people enter the futures market thinking it's a 'gambling game,' hoping to double their money overnight with high leverage, only to be liquidated within three days, leaving their accounts at zero.

In reality, liquidation is never a technical issue; it's that you fundamentally don't understand how to manage your positions.

I once had a mentor who taught me a principle of position management. It sounds simple, but it's the key to survival.

He said that each time you open a position, you should use at most 10% of your capital, regardless of how the market fluctuates, and not easily change that.

Set your stop-loss strictly at 2%, and only dare to increase your position with profits after the trend is confirmed.

Don't think about going all in; who knows what the market will do tomorrow?

For example, during last year's big market crash, while everyone was being liquidated, I steadily rolled my positions and ended up tripling my profits.

It wasn't because I predicted the market; it was because I understood the rules of the game: small losses lead to big gains.

Do you know why many people are always getting liquidated?

With high leverage acting like a money printer, they desperately increase their positions when losing, and rush to take profits when they make a little money, with no stop-loss, only take-profit.

The result? Either they get washed out by big fluctuations, or they are slowly worn down during consolidations.

Real experts are rational; their principle is: decisively cut losses when needed and remain steadfast like a rock when holding positions.

It's not that they can predict the market; it's that when they make mistakes, they lose less, allowing them to stand undefeated in market fluctuations.

Therefore, to survive in the futures market, it's not about who makes more money, but about who loses less.

Using scientific position management and a rational mindset to trade is the true survival rule.
