Understanding Leverage
Leverage allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of capital. Higher leverage increases both potential profits and losses. Always use appropriate risk management.
Step 2: Trade Parameters
Risk Management
Professional traders typically risk 1-2% of their account per trade. A favorable risk-reward ratio is at least 1:2 (potential profit twice the potential loss).
