Top 20 Futures Trading Rules 
1) Have a Plan - Define specific risk and profit objectives before trading. Don't trade 
without a plan. 
2) After several profitable trades, many speculators become wild and non-conservative. 
Don’t base your trades on hunches and long shots, rather on sound fundamental 
and technical reasoning. 
3) Know Your Size - Traders often try to carry too big a position with too little capital 
and trade too frequently for the size of the account. 
4) Don't become Greedy when it comes to Trading Futures. 
5) Traders fail to pre-define risk, add to a losing position, and fail to use stops. 
6) Traders frequently have a directional bias; for example, always wanting to be long. 
7) Lack of experience in the market causes many traders to become emotionally and / 
or financially committed to one trade and unwilling or unable to take a loss.

16) Some traders are on an ego trip and won't take advice from another person; all trades 
must be their own ideas. 
17) Some traders are not willing to believe price action, and thus trade contrary to the 
trend.

many times has already discounted the information. 
19) Emotion makes many traders hold a loser too long. Many traders don't discipline 
themselves to take small losses and big gains. 
20) Don't make trading decisions based on inside information. It's illegal, and besides, it's 
usually wrong.
