â ïž 20X LEVERAGE DOESNâT MEAN I RISK 20% OF MY ACCOUNT.
This is one of the biggest mistakes I see in futures trading:
People choose leverage FIRSTâŠ
and think about risk AFTER.
I do the opposite.
Before I enter any setup â whether itâs $BTC or an altcoin â I want to know 3 things:
1ïžâŁ Where is my entry?
2ïžâŁ Where is my idea WRONG?
3ïžâŁ How much of my account am I willing to lose if Iâm wrong?
Only THEN do I calculate position size.
ââââââââââââââ
𧩠SIMPLE EXAMPLE
Account: $1,000
Maximum planned loss: 1% = $10
Entry: $100
Invalidation: $98
Thatâs a 2% distance to the stop.
So the position can be roughly $500.
If the stop is hit:
Loss â $10.
Whether I use 5x, 10x or 20x leverage does NOT magically change that $10 risk if position size and invalidation are planned correctly.
Leverage changes the margin required.
POSITION SIZE + INVALIDATION define the real trade risk.
ââââââââââââââ
đ§ MY RISK FRAMEWORK
Normal setup â around 1% account risk
Strong, well-confirmed setup â up to ~1.5â2%
3% â hard ceiling, not the default
And leverage?
For the setups I publish here, I see no reason to go above 20x.
Most of the time, less is enough.
Because the goal isnât to make one trade huge.
The goal is to still have capital after the trade that goes wrong.
ââââââââââââââ
â ïž ONE MORE RULE
I decide my invalidation BEFORE entering.
I donât move it because âmaybe price comes back.â
I donât increase position size because Iâm angry.
And I donât use leverage to turn a weak setup into an exciting one.
A good setup should make sense BEFORE leverage is added.
Whether Iâm trading $BTC, an altcoin or a high-volatility setup, the rule stays the same:
RISK FIRST.
LEVERAGE SECOND.
Next in PanBas Playbook:
CROSS vs ISOLATED â and why the wrong margin mode can put much more of your balance at risk than you expected.
DYOR. Manage your own risk.
