In futures trading, it is true that you can double (X2) or even quintuple (X5) your account in just a few days. But remember, on the other hand, you can also “burn” your account after just one losing trade. I have experienced it, and it is not uncommon.
Even the world’s best, legendary traders only achieve profits of 30% to 100% per year – equivalent to about 2.5% to 8% per month. This shows that maintaining stable and long-term profits is much more important than risky “quick wins”.
So, manage your capital well: only risk a maximum of 1-2% of your capital on each trade. If you use leverage, choose a low level like 3x or a maximum of 5x. Don’t aim for a profit of tens of percent per day – instead, calculate it by month or year. For example, earning 5-10% profit per month, after 12 months you can grow 1.6 to 3 times your initial capital (60-120%/year).
Patience and discipline are the keys to overcoming market volatility!
