Smart Leverage (Binance Futures)

* What is it? Trading with more capital than you have, magnifying profits... and losses.

* Smart Use:

* Start low: 2x-5x is ideal for beginners.

* ALWAYS Stop-Loss! Protect your capital from liquidations.

* Isolated Margin: Use this to limit risk to a single position.

* Don’t leverage your entire portfolio.

Risk Management: Your Survival

* Define your Risk per Trade: Don’t risk more than 1%-2% of your capital per trade.

* Use Stop-Loss (SL): Automatic exit to limit losses. Mandatory!

* Define Take-Profit (TP): Automatic exit to secure profits.

* Risk/Reward Ratio: Aim to gain at least 2-3 times what you are willing to lose.

* Don’t average down without a plan: Avoid adding capital to a losing position without solid analysis.

* Keep a journal: Learn from your trades.
