#StrategyBTC Purchase Been there. A couple of futures losses can mess with both your account and your head. Restarting well is more about psychology than strategy. Here’s a clean, practical reset plan 👇
1. Stop trading briefly (yes, really)
Take a few days off. Losses create revenge-trading energy, and that’s how accounts die. Cool the emotions first.
2. Do a brutal but honest review
Ask:
Were losses from bad entries or poor risk management?
Did you over-leverage?
Did you trade out of boredom or FOMO?
Write it down. No excuses.
3. Cut position size hard
When you restart:
Trade ¼ or less of your previous size
Risk 1% or less per trade Your job now is survival, not recovery.
4. Trade only A+ setups
No “maybe” trades. If the setup doesn’t clearly match your plan, skip it. Missing trades is cheaper than bad trades.
5. Focus on process, not money
Your goal for the next 20–30 trades:
Follow rules perfectly
Respect stop-losses
Accept small losses calmly
If you do this, money follows later.
6. Consider paper trading or micro contracts
Especially in futures, micros exist for a reason. Use them until confidence returns.
7. Accept this truth
Losses are tuition. Even top traders have drawdowns. What separates winners is how they respond, not how often they win.
If you want, tell me:
What market you trade (crypto futures, indices, commodities)
What usually causes your losses
