A Lesson for Futures Traders:

THE BOTTOM LINE:

Let me be straight with you.

You can have the best entries in the world and still go broke if you don't know how to manage the trade once you're in it. That's not my opinion... that's my experience. And most traders never figure this out until they've burned through account after account wondering why their "great setups" keep failing.

HERE'S WHAT KILLS MOST TRADERS:

New traders make the same mistake over and over: they "swing for the fences" on every single trade. They want it all, and they want it right now. And they want it ALL on THIS trade.

You get a solid entry, price moves in your favor, you're up several points, and instead of taking money off the table, you sit there dreaming about the monster move at full size. You convince yourself this is the one that's going to run all day. Yeah, right! Good luck with that.

Then what happens? Price slams back in your face harder than Jordan dunking on you. Your winner could turn into a loser. You watch your profits evaporate and end up taking a loss or scratching a trade that was green just minutes ago.

Do that enough times and you're beat up, frustrated, and gun-shy right when the elusive "trend day" finally shows up. And you miss it because you're too damaged to pull the trigger. Don't injure yourself with bad entries and poor management... it's not worth it.

Please read the previous paragraph again.

Only the patient traders who wait for their setups (keep their trading platform closed while waiting) and manage their trades like professionals will survive this game.

THE HARSH REALITY ABOUT INTRADAY PRICE ACTION:

Here's what you need to understand...

What is the nature of the beast we trade?

About 90% of the time, you're trading complicated slop-n-chop. Most days are choppy, range bounce messes where price just grinds back and forth, trapping longs at the top and shorts at the bottom, over-and-over again. NOTE: This works extremely well for our Core Strategy. Our EOD charts prove it! We do very well on chop days if you stay disciplined.

Only about 10% of RTH sessions give you that beautiful open-to-close trend everyone fantasizes about. These are the sessions where holding a runner can pay 100s of points.

Too many traders miss that monster move because they're so beat up from self-inflicted wounds. Don't let that be you.

So here's the law: Expect SLOP-N-CHOP "TRAP FILLED" DAYS over TREND DAYS. This is why traders who CHASE and PREDICT BREAKOUTS get creamed most days.

THE SOLUTION: OUR 3-CONTRACT SYSTEM:

Once you accept that most moves don't follow through, everything changes.

With our 3-Contract System, you "take profit" on one contract, then you "take profit" on your second contract, and keep a FINANCED "RISK-FREE" RUNNER until your account type dictates when you need to exit. It's different for prop accounts versus cash accounts.

TIP: Most traders set up an ATM (Automatic Trade Management) strategy to handle this automatically. If you manage it manually, use our Core Strategy to identify where price will bounce. That's where you take profit! For example: If an untested Core Strategy Level is 7 points away, take profit at 5. Simple.

When is the breakout coming? No one knows. So, just hold that runner!

Remember, holding a runner is the GOLDEN COIN.

THE GOLDEN COIN:

The Golden Coin

Time and time again, it pays to hold a runner.

Eventually, a trade will roll your direction, and the runner PAYS handsomely.

For one, while holding a runner, you can't be STUPID. Think about that. Your stupidity is locked out when you're holding a runner. It's in an armbar... a headlock from Hulk Hogan himself.

Holding a runner is The Golden Coin.

Side 1: A nice BIG run in your direction is possible.

Side 2: Stupidity is in a headlock unable to hurt you.

WHERE THE REAL MONEY IS:

It's not in the one big runner you catch once a week or once a month. It's in the fifty small winners you actually lock in instead of hoping they turn into something bigger.

And when you get that breakout runner, sweet! Ride the wave! PNL multiplied!

EXITS MATTER MORE THAN ENTRIES:

Here's the hard truth: trade management matters more than your entry.

You can get in at the perfect setup and still lose money if you don't know when and how to get out. Don't guess where the move *might* end. Let the 3-Contract System guide you, each and every time.

YOUR EDGE:

Your edge is WAITING for price to come to your pre-planned setups in our Battle Plan. Keep your platform closed until a setup is near - this prevents impulsive trading. Enter using our 3-Contract System to lock in profits, and hold a financed 'paid-for' runner just in case. And if the stars align, you'll learn to ADD to winning trades instead of exiting too early. PNL multiplied!
