Trading can be exciting: moving charts, prices changing in seconds, and the possibility of multiplying your capital. But beneath that adrenaline, there are also enormous risks that can empty your account faster than you filled it.

The first mistake of many is entering without a plan. Trading without a strategy is like navigating without a compass: you may move forward… but towards shipwreck. You must define in advance how much capital you will risk, where you will place your stop loss, and when you will take profits.

Risk management is your shield. Never put at stake money you can't afford to lose, and avoid over-leveraging: the same leverage that multiplies your gains also multiplies your losses.
