Trading futures doesn’t have to be complicated. If you stick to simple strategies with clear rules, you can grow steadily while managing risk. Here are three beginner-friendly approaches to get started:
🔴 1. Trend Following Strategy — “The Safe Path”
📌 Trade with the market, not against it.
Steps:
Add the 200 EMA to your chart.
If price is above 200 EMA → go Long (Buy).
If price is below 200 EMA → go Short (Sell).Enter when price pulls back to EMA or support/resistance.
Stop-loss → below last swing low (for longs) / above swing high (for shorts).
Take profit → 1.5x–2x your risk.
👉 Why it works: You’re riding the trend instead of fighting it.
🔴 2. Breakout Strategy — “Catch the Big Moves”
📌 Trade the breakout of key price levels.
Steps:
Mark strong support & resistance zones.
Wait for a strong breakout candle (above resistance = long, below support = short).
Enter after the breakout closes.
Stop-loss → just inside the old range.
Take profit → next resistance/support or 2x your risk.
👉 Why it works: Easy to use and great during volatile markets.
🔴 3. Support & Resistance Bounce — “Buy Low, Sell High”
📌 Trade price reversals from strong zones.
Steps:
Mark strong support/resistance on 15m–4H charts.
At support → look for bullish candle (long).
At resistance → look for bearish candle (short).Enter with confirmation.
Stop-loss → below support (long) / above resistance (short).
Take profit → mid-range or next opposite zone.
👉 Why it works: Clear risk/reward, simple, and reliable.
✅ Golden Rules for ALL Strategies
