I came up with the following personal observations after serving online traders worldwide for more than 20 years.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The following steps are guides to progress, and are not necessarily in sequential order. Some of them are always required, but each futures trader is different and will relate to these stages in their own ways. While attempting to learn and progress, one must keep in mind that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannontrading.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">futures trading<\/a>\u00a0is risky and\u00a0can involve significant losses.<\/div>\n<div>1. Education<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">Hopefully if you are already trading you have completed your initial education: contract specs, trading hours, futures brokers, platforms, the opportunities as well as the risk and need to use risk capital in futures, and so on. Understanding this information is essential to futures trading. The second type of education is ongoing: learning about trading techniques, the evolution of futures markets, different trading tools, and more.<\/div>\n<div>2. Find A System<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">I am definitely not advising you to go on the web and subscribe to a &#8220;black box&#8221; system (using buy\/sell triggers if don&#8217;t know why they are being generated). What I am advising is developing a trading technique: a general set of rules and a trading concept. As you progress, you may want to put the different rules and indicators into a computerized system, but the most important factor is to have a focus and a plan. Don&#8217;t just wake up in the morning and trade &#8220;blank.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div>3. Survival<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">This is the key! Do what you need to do in order to survive this brutal business and give yourself the chance of being here down the road with more experience and a better chance of success. Survival is probably the biggest key for beginning traders. There is a saying in this business: &#8220;live to trade another day.&#8221; It is so true!<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cannontrading.com\/community\/newsletter\/Silver-Futures-Surge-Higher-along-with-Building-Foundation-for-Better-Trading#one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FINISH READING<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"><strong>Good Trading<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\">Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.\u00a0 You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources.
