Don't chase maximum profit!
Having traded for quite a while in futures, I developed a working strategy for myself - to be content with little, instead of waiting for a miracle and trying to grab as much as possible.
Definitely, there are downsides to this approach. Several times in a row, I missed out on very lucrative trades and instead of taking 1-2k, I ended up with 80-100$. But on the other hand, having something is always better than leaving with nothing ;)
Initial deposit - 1000$
Current status - 1700$
Wishing everyone successful trades! :)
