How much you put into a single trade or asset — your position size — and whether you borrow to amplify it — leverage — are where most large, avoidable losses happen.
Position sizing
Sizing means deciding how much of your capital any one position represents. Keeping individual positions small limits the damage when one goes wrong, which in a volatile market is a matter of when, not if.
Leverage magnifies everything
Leverage multiplies both gains and losses, and it introduces liquidation: if the price moves against a leveraged position enough, it can be closed automatically, wiping out the stake. Many beginners are liquidated fast. Treat leverage as advanced and dangerous. This is general education, not advice.
