As a futures trader, I've always known that risk management is crucial to success. However, despite my best efforts, I recently received a liquidation call on my futures trading account. 
It started with a sudden and unexpected market movement coupled with poor network coverage Tha preventing me from taking immediate action as the market is going against my positions. Before I knew it, my account had fallen below the required margin level, triggering a liquidation call from my broker. I had to act fast to minimize my losses.

Lessons Learned:

Looking back, I realize that I made a few critical mistakes that contributed to my account's liquidation:

1. *Insufficient risk management*: I had too much exposure to the market, leaving me vulnerable to sudden movements.
2. *Poor position sizing*: My positions were too large, amplifying my losses when the market moved against me.
3. *Failure to adjust*: I failed to adjust my strategy as market conditions changed, leaving me unprepared for the sudden downturn.
3. *Poor network coverage *: I will try to have a strong internet connection before taking any trade

Moving Forward:

While liquidating my account was a difficult experience, it's taught me valuable lessons about risk management, position sizing, and adaptability. As I rebuild my account and refine my strategy, I'll be sure to prioritize these key principles. And now there will be no deity December. 


Liquidating my futures trading account was a humbling experience, but it's also given me a fresh perspective on risk management and trading strategy. If you're a fellow trader, I hope my story serves as a reminder to stay vigilant and adapt to changing market conditions.
