Lessons from My First 3 Months of Futures Trading
1️⃣ Small Capital, Great Discipline
You don’t need huge capital to be a successful trader. If you can’t consistently grow small investments, you’re more likely to lose the larger ones. Focus on strategy, not just on capital.
2️⃣ High Margin = High Pressure
The higher your margin, the more impulsive your decisions become. Consider this:
You and I opened a long position of 10x.
My margin: $30 → Position size: $300
Your margin: $200 → Position size: $2,000
When I am down $3, you are down $20. At -15, you are at -100.
Even though our margin ratio is the same (50%), you feel more pressure because the absolute loss in red is mentally overwhelming.
3️⃣ Diversification and Risk Management Are Key
NEVER trade everything in a single position. Instead, wisely divide your capital:
If you have $200 USDT and are willing to risk $30, split it into 4 trades.
Each trade has a stop-loss (15-20 USDT).
If two stop-losses are triggered, you lose 30-40 USDT, but if two hit TP (30% ROI), you recover losses or stay profitable.
If none of the trades hit the stop-loss, you still close some in red but remain in overall profit.
Why a Bad Trade Hurts More
The truth is that most of our trades are successful. What’s the problem? We often reinvest both our capital and our profits into the next trade.
A bad trade wipes out previous gains.
That’s why risk management is critical, so that even when losses come, they don’t erase weeks of progress.
Futures trading is a marathon, not a sprint. More lessons to come!
