How such posts bring joy and motivation. I congratulate you. It is written in the Scriptures that wealth is acquired with wisdom, which I cannot boast of yet, but I believe that I am on the path to it.

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! :)
