When you open a high-leverage trade, the only thing on your mind is usually:

“How much money will I make from this trade?”

And honestly, that’s a totally fine thought.

But you also need to think about it from the other side:

“If this trade goes against me, how much money can I lose? Can I actually afford to take that loss?”

Most people only think about the “How much will I make?” part.

Then, when the trade starts going against them, they panic.

Think about the risk before you enter the trade, not after.

Risk first. Profit second.
