Most accounts do not blow up on a bad call. They blow up on position size.
A 4% adverse move is an ordinary day for $BTC . At 20x that is an 80% loss on margin. At 3x it is 12%.
Same call. Same chart. Completely different outcome. The edge did not change, only the sizing did.
Most people pick leverage by how confident the trade feels. That is the opposite of risk management.
How do you actually pick your leverage?
