BearishPsychology and discipline are the two decisive factors for survival in Futures trading (futures contracts)
Especially in the crypto or commodities market where high leverage magnifies all emotions. Many statistics show that 80-95% of traders incur long-term losses, not due to a lack of analytical knowledge, but because they cannot control their psychology and break discipline.
Why is psychology "harsher" in Futures?
Futures have their own characteristics that make psychology easy to be "bent":
High leverage (10x, 20x, even 100x): A small fluctuation of 1-2% can double the account or liquidate immediately 👉 triggering a strong survival fear.
Extreme volatility: Prices can "wick" strongly, creating feelings of FOMO (fear of missing out) or revenge trading (trying to recover losses).
Continuous dopamine: Winning brings excitement, losing brings stress 👉 easy to overtrade or hold losses too long.
24/7 pressure: The crypto market never sleeps, leading to sleeplessness and fatigue 👉 poor decision-making.
The most common emotions that "kill" Futures traders:
Fear: Cutting losses early when prices just slightly hit the SL, or not daring to enter trades even though the setup is good.
Greed: Not taking profits, holding for too long hoping for "a little more rise".
FOMO: Chasing prices when the market pumps strongly.
Revenge trading: Losing a trade → increasing size, increasing leverage to recover → often leads to account burnout.
Overconfidence: After a winning streak → thinking one is "unbeatable", breaking rules.
📊 Always stay alert and keep a cool head when trading, remember we are here to make profits, don't exchange all your capital and assets for a moment of impulsiveness 🐸
