🤔📉 Heard stories about blown accounts? I *was* one, blowing $600 on leveraged futures. The secret to surviving isn't predicting pumps, it's position sizing. Embrace the 1-2% rule: never risk more than 1-2% of your total capital on *any single trade*.
Let's say you have $1000. Your max risk per trade is $10 (1%). If your strategy’s stop loss is $0.01 away from your entry per coin (e.g., entering at $0.50, SL at $0.49), you can buy 1000 coins ($10 risk / $0.01 SL per coin). This simple math means even if you hit 10 consecutive stop losses, you've only lost 10% of your account. That's a recoverable hit, not a wipeout. Calculate this *before* every trade. It’s the ultimate shield.
