High leverage like 100x might seem appealing for fast gains, it also significantly increases the potential for losses. Starting with lower leverage such as 10x has helped me focus on building a solid foundation and understanding the market dynamics. In my view, protecting your capital and gaining experience gradually is far more sustainable than taking unnecessary risks early on.

I have been so focused on learning indicators and patterns that I didn’t realize how much my emotions and mindset were driving my decisions. Overtrading is something I struggle with a lot. Understanding my own risk tolerance and staying disciplined sounds like the foundation I need to build before anything else.

People lose when they over trade. Controlling emotions and greed is the key for risk management in trading. Rest is secondary.
