The most underappreciated skill in futures trading is safeguarding your gains.

Making money is just one part of the equation—holding onto those profits is just as important.

Whenever I take a futures trade, I always set a stop loss anchored to critical market levels. Futures trading is highly leveraged, and a single misstep could erase days’ worth of profits.

So, the moment you open a futures trade, set your stop loss based on those key market levels. This is essential because, with leverage, one unfavorable move can wipe out your gains in an instant.

Here’s a little-known insight for most traders:

When you keep your stop loss tight, you can afford to take a larger position.

This approach can be a game-changer for smaller accounts, allowing you to amplify potential returns while keeping your risk management rock-solid.

A successful trade isn’t measured by your profit and loss but by executing your system correctly, like locking in your first profit target and moving your stop to break-even.

Sometimes, I end up adjusting my stop multiple times during a trade to align with shifting market conditions. It can be frustrating to miss out on potential profits when a stop is hit, but I’d rather take a modest win than a big loss.

Mastering stop loss management in futures trading means:

• Your winners remain profitable

• Your losses are minimized

• Emotional trading is eliminated

• Your account balance grows steadily

But here’s the reality…

The best way to reduce stop-outs is by choosing the right trades from the get-go.
