📚 The #1 mistake that wipes out 90% of futures traders (and how to avoid it today)
Many people think losing money in crypto is due to “whale manipulation,” but it almost always comes down to one thing: overleveraging and failing to calculate position size.
If you open a trade, follow this basic rule before you hit the button:
🛑 1-2% Rule: Never risk more than 1% to 2% of your total account on a single trade.
📏 Mandatory Stop-Loss: A Stop-Loss isn’t placed “where it doesn’t hurt to lose”; it’s placed at the technical point where your analysis is invalidated.
⚖️ Leverage isn’t about making more—it’s about reducing margin: If you use 10x or 20x just to inflate position size without calculating risk, a 2% wick will take you out of the game.
💡 Pro tip: If a trade keeps you up at night or makes you check your phone every 3 minutes, your position is too large for your account.
