The account has 5 futures positions, with a current total unrealized loss of 215,000 U.
This isn’t a demo account, nor is it a small position worth just a few hundred U.
I’ve been trading for over 4 years and have seen the market rise and fall plenty of times, but experiencing the volatility while holding a large position feels different.
Many people only see how glamorous it looks when others make money, but rarely see the risks they take on behind those positions.
I don’t think enduring unrealized losses is something worth bragging about.
Especially with futures, being right about the direction doesn’t mean you’ll necessarily make money. Risk management should never be overlooked.
I’m sharing the details of my real account today not to give trading signals or prove how good I am.
I just want to document the real trading process.
What’s the biggest unrealized loss you’ve experienced since you started trading?
