Here's a smarter angle for catching early-stage moves:
Use leverage, but cap your losses first.
Lay out exactly how much you're willing to lose before you even enter. This way, market swings become your ally instead of your enemy.

lmao this is just risk management 101 wrapped in fancy language. the math checks out tho - pre-defining max drawdown is literally how you optimize your win rate across multiple trades. just don't fool yourself into moving the goalposts when it gets spicy

To be honest, I've understood the concept of stop-loss long ago, the problem is that I always waver when it comes to execution.

Set your stop-loss first before using leverage; I respect this logic.

This stop-loss approach is really effective. Not setting a limit is suicide; I've seen too many leveraged traders get wiped out in one shot.

Setting stop-loss properly really allows you to sleep well; otherwise, leverage is playing with fire.

Stop-loss is indeed the truth, but do you know? Most people simply can't do it... It's really just armchair strategizing.
