Today I will teach you how to control the amount of loss per trade.

First, many people do not know how much margin is reasonable for each trade.

A professional trader usually does not bear more than 1% to 2% of the total capital.

Taking this picture as an example, assume you are a breakout strategy trader

who believes that the price has broken through the previous high and buys directly, placing the stop loss at the low point of the K bar.

Then, the stop loss at this time is 7.76%, assuming I want to use 20x leverage.

Here, I must emphasize that leverage is meant to increase the utilization of funds,

it is not for gambling. Opening 100x with 1u and 1x with 100u, their contract values are the same.

The transaction fees are also exactly the same. So if your position is only 100u and you open with 1x leverage, your fund utilization rate is 100%.

And if you only open 1u with 100x leverage, your funds can buy more tokens, that’s all.

I digressed, but I still want to say this because it’s my experience over three years of trading.

Assuming you have 10000u, opening 1%, 100u is reasonable, right? If you are willing to bear a loss of 100u with 20x leverage and a 7.76% stop loss,

your margin can only be 64.4usdt. When you hit the stop loss, you will lose 100u.

The calculation formula is as follows:

Margin = 100u / (7.76% × 20)

= 100 / (0.0776 × 20)

= 100 / 1.552

≈ 64.43u
