Psychology 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 🐸
The Dangers of Revenge Trading and Recovery After Losing Trades
Revenge trading and trying to recover after losing trades – the number 1 "account killer" in coin trading.
The feeling of frustration, "the market is stupid", "I was right but it hit me."
So you immediately enter a new trade, larger, with no stop loss, or go all-in to "recover quickly". This is exactly revenge trading and recovery – the two most dangerous behaviors in crypto trading.
Why is it extremely harmful? Decisions are 100% influenced by emotions, then technical analysis, and the initial plan is thrown out the window. The trade size often skyrockets (from 1–2% to 10–30% of the account), just one more loss can lead to significant losses. It destroys your mentality → the more you lose, the more calmness you lose 👉 the easier it is to keep losing 👉 the deadly spiral. A very common real-life example: Account 1000 USDT Trade 1: loss -80$ you have 920$ Revenge: entering trade 300$ (30% of the account) loss 👉 additional loss -240$ left with 680$ Frustrated, all-in 680$ to recover, ends up with 0$.
Just from 1 small losing trade → the account burns down in less than 30 minutes. A simple way to avoid this (but must be done for real): Lose a trade 👉 stop for at least 15–60 minutes (turn off the chart). Never increase size to recover. Limit maximum loss per day (for example: -3% then stop for the day). Keep a journal: "Today lost because of breaking discipline" instead of blaming the market. Remember: preserving capital is more important than recovering lost capital.
Trading coins is already difficult, don’t make yourself the biggest enemy of yourself. Accept losses, take a break, come back with a cool head. That is the way to protect your account and maintain long-term earning opportunities.
Please adhere to the principle of avoiding account burnout.

The formula for success in trading is to avoid losses?! 1. The mindset of "Defend first, Attack later" The legend Paul Tudor Jones has a famous quote on the wall of his office: "Losers Average Losers". He believes that: "I don't care about making money by predicting correctly. I care about protecting the money I have." Profit is a consequence, risk is a choice: You cannot control where the market will go, but you have complete authority to decide how much you will lose if the market goes in the opposite direction. The power of reverse compounding: If you lose 50% of your account, you need to gain back 100% just to break even. Avoiding large drawdowns is the shortest path to sustainable account growth. 2. The "Iron Hand" rule in risk management To avoid heavy losses, you need a set of unbreakable rules: 1% or 2% rule Never risk more than 1-2% of total capital for a single trade. If you adhere to this, you would need to lose consecutively 50-100 trades to blow your account — a very difficult thing to happen if you have a basic strategy. Stop-loss is the breath of trading Trading without a stop-loss is like driving downhill without brakes. Technical stop-loss: Set at the point where if the price hits it, the reason for your trade is no longer valid. Psychological stop-loss: Close the trade when you start to feel anxious or hope that "the price will reverse". Hope is not a trading strategy.
