You’ve got twenty thousand in your pocket and you’re eyeing that tempting 100x leverage.
But before you dive headfirst into the sea, let me finish showing you the three hidden buttons on your “life jacket.”
**Button One: Risk Level**
That 100x leverage ad? It’s bait. Your real lifeline is 2%. At 5%, it’s like slicing open the life jacket yourself. Above 8%, you’re not trading—you’re naked in the waves.
Do the math: an 8% stop loss with 10x leverage means 80% of your account vanishes in one strike. One bad wave, and you’re stranded back on shore.
Want higher leverage? Then shrink your cycle. But a 15-minute candle moves faster than your heartbeat—pros get dizzy, so what makes you think you’ll stand tall?
**Button Two: The System**
Forget chasing golden crosses. A system means knowing *when to shut the machine off*.
Entries, exits, and stop losses should ring in your phone like alarms, not whispers of emotion.
And here’s the tuition: three full bull-and-bear cycles, paid with 90% of your capital—nine times over.
Those who throw in hundreds of thousands at once? They’re just prepaying all eight rounds of losses upfront, never getting the chance to learn.
The right way is like leveling in a game: small funds, cashing out, then small funds again. No one buys the final level—you fight your way there.
**Button Three: Execution Power**
Remember 519, Luna, FTX? Those black swans aren’t history—they’re mirrors.
A stop loss isn’t just a number; it’s you telling yourself: *enough, today I walk away.*
The worst mistake? Believing “it’s already down so much, it must bounce.” The market doesn’t bargain. It discounts deeper until your account is dust.
Probability doesn’t pity anyone. Liquidation is just its casual greeting.
If you can’t fasten these three buttons, don’t even bother wearing the tie. Instead, stick to five unbreakable rules:
1. Only play with pocket money you can afford to bury—max twenty thousand.
2. Cap leverage at 2–3x.
3. Focus only on daily charts.
4. Roll positions, but never increase them.
