Most traders don't blow up because they're wrong. They blow up because their leverage leaves no room to be wrong. Watching $AAPL futures reminded me of that again. Leverage simply means borrowing more exposure than your own capital. Useful? Yes. Forgiving? Not at all. If a normal price swing can force you out before your idea has time to play out, the leverage is probably too high. I treat leverage like seasoning, not the main meal. A good setup should survive ordinary market noise, not depend on perfect timing. Small leverage often gives bigger staying power. #ShareMyTradFi
