Leverage is not the enemy. The enemy is your lack of discipline.

Many new traders blame high leverage when their accounts "disappear", but the truth is: leverage is just a tool, how you use it is the real issue. Look back: 📊 A $10,000 position trade with 10x leverage ( capital of $1,000) has a risk equivalent to a 5x leverage trade if you use $2,000 capital. The issue does not lie in the leverage ratio, but in how you manage risk. Why do most new traders "burn their accounts"? 👉 Do not set stop-loss. 👉 There is no clear trading plan. 👉 Trading based on emotions, on "intuition", on rumors. Many people enter the market with the mindset: "I have $200, how can I turn it into $2,000 today?" 🤯 The result? Lost everything in just a few hours, or even a few minutes. If you are truly serious about trading, do this: ✅ Respect risk: Each order should only risk 1-2% of the account. No more. ✅ Always set a stop-loss: This is your "lifeline." Without it, you are just gambling. ✅ Trade according to plan: Write down the reasons for the order, entry point, exit point, profit expectations, and risks. No plan? No trade. 💡 Advice for newcomers: Starting from spot trading ( non-leveraged trading ). Why? Because it helps you understand the market without being dominated by the fear mentality. Learn how to read charts. Understand price action (price action). Cultivate patience and emotional control. When you are steady, only then should you move on to trading futures (contracts) — but be a sniper, not a gambler at the casino. 🎯 Winning in trading does not come from correctly guessing the top or bottom. It comes from surviving long enough for the account to have a chance to grow. The market does not care what your dreams are. It only rewards those who have: ⚙️ Discipline. ⚙️ Strategy. ⚙️ Correct thinking. Conclusion Hype does not help you win. New discipline is what makes a successful trader. Don't play the lottery. Build a system. Don't expect to make money quickly. Learn how to protect your capital. 🧠 Trading is not a game of chance. Trading is a game of thought and discipline.
