Risk management and skills is the most important things specially in futures trading, wherein reason mostly fails and blown their money because they take all the risk on their own way not the real way of trading.
Seriously I will be glad if you can explain more about the statement which you made above, what do you mean by people take all the risk on their own way and not the real way of trading? I don't know what you mean by risk in trading way.
The best guarantee to keep your fund is when you use stop loss and this is good trading strategy to adopt. Using it allows you to cut your losses before you get into the market and if you do a good analysis, you land in profit taking.
From what I think, I believe the first thing you should do as a trader is to make sure your analysis is correct. I have seen someone trading with stop loss before and he keeps on losing money, let's assume he enters a trade and he set his stop loss at - 10% of his capital immediately the stop lose as being triggered, he will enter another trade again and he will set stop loss at - 10% of his capital, the stop lose was triggered again, that was how he was losing his money gradually, am not saying stop lose is bad but we should always make sure we do our analysis well first. whenever am trading I don't really use stop loss but am always online to monitor my trade myself, I don't really believe in stop loss but I don't discourage people from using it.
