Keep statistics on every trade. Your statistics will tell you how often this is true or not.

In futures trading for every long position there is a short position. Always consider the trader taking the other side of your trade. 👇

Is AI a fracture? Is the Iran-USA war? Is Trump? Trade your plan regardless. But the news cycle is interesting at times.

As a trader you need to own and acknowledge that you alone are responsible for ALL your trades - the good AND the bad - both. All of them. Look in the mirror. That's who is responsible for the bad trades. That's who is responsible for the good trades. Everything. You need to own all of it.

Michael Martin’s podcast is worth a listen to. Michael has been a futures trader for what must be decades now.

Good advice no matter the size of your account

Can you handle 20 losers in a row? How does your risk management plan adjust? Or does it allow for the possibility? What’s your trading plan say?

Also of note: for those of us who in a previous life have dealt first hand with oil exploration and production its whole point is to kill you if you turn your back on it. FFS static electricity will kill you in gas/oil production. Who’s gonna step up and jump on a supertanker in a war zone? Nah.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 10/04/2026

Think probabilistically. Every trade.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 06/04/2026

Trade small to survive. Don’t let a small loss turn into a career ending one.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 05/04/2026

Play great defense. Trade small to survive.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 30/03/2026

Good advice. Use this for long term survival.

Given the blatant market manipulation the Trump white house engages in - see oil and index swings this last week, I'd suggest this quote is no longer valid. Transparency not so much. But there will be a reckoning - all debts must be paid.

Eventually you have to come out ahead. (Even a lower 40% win rate at 2:1 still works.)

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 08/03/2026

Good advice. Applies to trading too. 👇

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 01/03/2026

Also remember that the person taking the opposite side of your trade may be a lot smarter than you. Think before you act. Always follow your plan.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 01/03/2026

This applies to most things in life, but sure does sum up trading futures and FX as well.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 27/02/2026

I guess with the rise of AI, we can expect the worst in this area. Food for thought but the horse has probably already bolted.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 26/02/2026

The close is where it is, price us where it is, because computers put it exactly there. The markets not out to get you. All you have to do is follow the computers footprints.

Many of Jack Schwager's wizards say the same thing different ways. Keep drawdowns as small as possible. Reduce risk per trade as drawdown gets worse.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 21/02/2026

Yep. Drawdown can be trading career killer.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 20/02/2026

Lots of the old timers keep saying the same thing just a different way 👇

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 18/02/2026

Maybe that's where to put your protective stop. Have a protective stop in the market always.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 15/02/2026

Edwards and Magee should be in your library too. Many of the old timers that have survived decades recommend it. So do business schools apparently. (We've never been to business school so wouldn't know 🤣). Its methods still work though.

And speaking of what you spend your time on, you may want to read Cal Newport's book. It's worth the read.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 07/02/2026

Something we still need to work on as a trader is patience - before entry and after it too. What do you need to work on?

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 24/01/2026

The traders that have survived decades all say the same thing 👇

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 19/01/2026

Apply it to trading too. Close the curtains. Turn off all media. Kill social, then go trade. With focus. No distractions.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 17/01/2026

Ain't that the truth. It applies to trading too.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 16/01/2026

Turn off the media. Trading takes "decision making under uncertainty" to a new level. NO exposure to the clowns in the media is the way to go.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 15/01/2026

Yep. Don't ever become wedded to a position. The facts can change on the very next bar.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 14/01/2026

Best advise for new traders considering futures / options / leveraged products: Don't. Go put your money in a stock index fund and take up a hobby. "Cheaper and safer"

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 11/01/2026

Beware of leverage. Just like with LTCM, it can quickly bring futures / FX traders to financial ruin.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 09/01/2026

Al Brooks has lots of rules in his trading plan. Have you written down all your rules in your own trading plan?

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 04/01/2026

Beware of leverage. It's often a career killer in those small dips.....

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 02/01/2026

Seems like a good way to start 2026

Risk management is important. It makes you the money, and keeps you out of the poor house. Through it, you control your maximum drawdown (or not). The amount you should risk is directly dependent on the distribution of your trade results, wins & losses. Use Monte Carlo to investigate.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 21/12/2025

Do you reckon this is why we keep having regular financial crises? The models are wrong? Crises are more extreme and more frequent than economists seem able to predict. Mandelbrot was onto it.

Here's something we took note of ages ago: (Hat tip: www.alpharcubed.com/steven-golds... )

010

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 19/12/2025

Yep. Truth. Use Monte Carlo to investigate your future trading career range of outcomes - especially use it for how you approach risk management. The universe of your potential future outcomes will surprise you. It did for us.

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 11/12/2025

You can't avoid losses as a trader. But you need to keep them as small as you can.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 10/12/2025

You need bigger profits but losses as small as you can manage. You need asymmetry. Many old time traders mention this.

000

Trade2Infinity @trade2infinity.com · 07/12/2025

How do you set the amount you risk on each trade? Ed Seykota had some good advice in "Market Wizards" by Jack Schwager on this. You should pay it some heed. Perhaps it'd be best to model it using Monte Carlo to define how much.

Ain't that the truth. From the Trading Coach, Chris Shea.
