Last month’s live trading, starting with a margin of 2000 yuan, achieved a final return of 73%. The maximum drawdown during the period did not exceed 23%, and there was no liquidation at any point. Honestly, my initial goal was only a 30% account growth, so this time it exceeded expectations a bit.

However, for the next 30 days, I’ve actually lowered my target to 20%. Recently, market volatility has been quite limited, especially over the weekends. The movement of the US stock market has a significant impact on us. Instead of forcing trades to find opportunities, it’s better to observe patiently. When there are no obvious fluctuations, it’s actually a test of your mindset—the calmer the market, the more you need to stay disciplined and refrain from action.

Speaking of futures trading, one strict rule of mine is to avoid those assets with low market cap and insufficient liquidity. Short-term, you might see some opportunities, but in the long run, the risks and unknowns are too many, and it’s not worth gambling on.

Would love to hear your thoughts—what is the top point you prioritize avoiding in your futures trading?
