It’s Monday, Daily Direction readers!
That means it’s time to begin another week of futures trading. Going through some of the critical elements that support my plan is one of the best ways to prepare for the trading week.
The risk associated with trading is one of the most prevalent concerns I hear from my students.
Anything involving money comes with inherent risk. That is a fact of life that cannot be avoided. That is why many individuals are apprehensive about trading. The risk of financial ruin is extremely serious.
However, if you use the right strategy, you can mitigate the potential for loss and work toward winning more trades than you lose!
Continue reading to learn how to analyze and manage risk while trading futures contracts. It’s essential knowledge for your trading success!
Formula For Growth
A formula for growth is applied in futures trading. You’re not going to win every single trade, so you’re going to need a strategy. You must accept the reality that there is a risk you will lose some of your money when you enter a trade.
Trading is never viewed as simply one, two, three, or four trades. For you to have a better understanding of the formula, we’ll call ten trades “one block”. Keep in mind that you should always set a minimum of a 10-trade or one block when it comes to succeeding in trading. Placing ten or more trades will help you generate more profit.

The formula helps you to estimate the percentage that you’re going to lose or win on a single trade with a one-block minimum. For example, say that you win six blocks and you lose four. If you know that you’re going to be a 60% winner, you have to have a plan for this.
Risk Vs. Reward
Let’s look at this from a different angle. Say that you see you’re going to win double the amount that you lose, or you’re trying to win $200 per trade.
By playing six trades, you’ll get $1,200. With the formula mentioned above, all you have to do is double, triple, quadruple, or add more to your initial trade to win more profit in the end.
So, for six trades, you might get $1,200, but you’ll lose $400. All in all, you’ll end up with a net gain of $800 for every ten trades.
What happens is this; if you start trading and immediately lose $200, you might think that the strategy is not working and give up. However, you’re going to prevent yourself from the $1800 net gain that the formula is supposed to give you. You have to understand how many times and how much you’re going to win and lose.
Now that you have the basic information to help you understand how to manage risk, it’s time to take the next step toward becoming a winning trader! You need to stop making excuses and move forward. You’re account won’t grow unless you make the trades, and I’m here to help.
