In the world of trading, especially in futures, it's become all too easy to see posts about unrealistic profits, pictures of green numbers, and phrases like "guaranteed profit" or "unmissable deal." The problem isn't the profit itself, but the way it's presented and the true motive behind it. My advice to every beginner trader is this: don't follow everyone who posts their profits, and don't let greed dictate your decisions. Many who post profits don't post their losses. Many entered the market with dozens of losing trades before a single winning one. And many don't trade at all; they sell the illusion of success. Futures are not a game, nor are they a shortcut to riches. They are a high-risk instrument that requires: strict money management, a genuine understanding of the market, patience and discipline, and the ability to accept losses before seeking profits. Beginners often think the problem lies in a lack of signals or not following "the right person," when in reality, the problem is a lack of fundamentals. No one tells you that: a consistent 3% profit is better than a one-time 100%; preserving your capital is more important than doubling it; and exiting a trade unscathed is a successful trade in itself. What's promoted as "quick profit myths" is mostly: cherry-picking, using destructive leverage, or marketing courses, groups, or referral links. Real trading is sometimes boring, sometimes slow, and always exhausting. And anyone who doesn't tell you this doesn't have your best interests at heart… they just want to keep you on their toes. My honest advice: learn before you imitate, test before you trust, and don't enter a trade just because someone told you they made a profit. The market is unforgiving of emotions, has no respect for haste, and doesn't reward those who chase mirages. Success in trading isn't about winning today, but about staying in the market tomorrow.
