In this guide

Quick navigation: Most people don’t lose because they’re wrong once—they lose because they can’t survive volatility. Start here.

Risk management in one idea

Your job is to stay in the game. That means managing how much you can lose on a single idea before it hurts you.

Position sizing (simple)

Smaller position sizes reduce emotional decisions. Risk only what you can afford to lose, especially when learning.

Leverage: why it’s dangerous

Leverage amplifies both gains and losses. Beginners usually underestimate liquidation risk and overestimate consistency.

Demo-first workflow

Practice entries/exits and journaling with a demo account before trading real funds.
