Best Tips To Avoid Being Stopped Out In Futures?

Success in trading not quite related to school level, imo.
Lol, remember the bunch phd's and mathematicians/engineers at LTCM ? They almost kaputted the markets with all those diplomas.

Actually it is, education level teaches you patience hence why Harvard, Cambridge have higher success rates with high income levels. Patience is also a prerequisite to trade the markets, however, anyone can synthetically adjust their lifestyle to force patience and over a decade or two it will convert in to natural patience, but that is rare.

The problem with LTCM is that they were technical focused and forgot one small point, human nature breaks technicals at the most inopportune time, usually when you are over-leveraged. The PHDs were required to sell the models to the investment community.

Cognitive imbalance. I’ll keep that one in mind. Nice way of saying crazy ...

This is the fundamental of psychology, certain people must have the last say as they do not have the skills for a rational objective outcome, having the last say allows that fact to be obscured by using the "margin of error" principle. The "sales pitch" is because they use that on a daily basis to generate income, where the lack of understanding arises is that there are people who have capital investments and can allow third parties access to that investment, but it is not a pre-requisite for income, on the surface it looks the same but underneath it is the inverse. The less educated people are the less they look under the surface and therefore assume it's the process they use.

What does this have to do with futures, stops, and so on, it is the exact same principle that drives the markets, having found a way to look under the surface and package it in to an algo, it makes capital generation very simple. Those with cognitive imbalance, synthetic or natural, only have access to income generating methods, usually by working long hours. I know this because my older Brother works like an imbecile, and just tried to take me out as I can generate the same amounts via capital trading with 1/100th of the effort.

If you want to be completely accurate with your quote "cognitive impairment" is more appropriate, but I usually reserve that one for my family, angelic as I am.

No doubt that stupid people always suffer. If they had half a brain, they’d eventually realize their annual income could be made with the stroke of a pen.

There is no way to avoid getting stopped out on futures and you wouldn't want that. You should want to get stopped out quickly and fairly often and let profits run when you are correct. ---The only way to avoid getting stopped out is to use no stop at all and you don't want that. By the way, your broker will stop you out if you don't.
