#Tradelessons The biggest lesson I have learnt is to use 1% of your portfolio. You can only get better and have another chance of perfecting your strategies if you have the capital to do so . However the human nature in us wants quick returns and results and we would rather leave a few points between entry price and liquidation price and cross our fingers that the trade will go in our favor which fails 100% of the time. We cant even open an opposing trade to hedge because there will be no capital to do so. You cant even do DCA. How is the feeling of getting those margin call alerts of blowing the account. I have learnt the hardway that there is a fine line between trading and gambling.
