I agree that futures trading is a probability game, much like professional gambling. The difference is that disciplined traders rely on technical analysis, risk management and repeatable strategies rather than luck. There is no 100% winning strategy, so protecting capital is just as important as making profits.
The two golden rules resonate with me: never fight the established trend and cut losses when the trade thesis is invalidated. Leverage is a double-edged sword that can magnify losses quickly, so I prefer disciplined position sizing over chasing quick profits or averaging down losing trades.
As a long-term investor who also uses technical analysis, I see trading as a different skill from investing. Trading requires tighter risk controls, while investing allows more time for a business thesis to develop. Consistency is not about winning every trade, but managing risk well enough to stay in the game.
