What to understand before your first live trade
Four things that decide more outcomes than any entry signal.
Leverage and margin
Leverage does not increase your edge — it increases position size relative to your balance, and with it the speed at which a losing run reaches a margin call.
The true cost per trade
Spread, commission, and overnight swap together set the hurdle every position must clear before it is profitable. High-frequency strategies live or die on this number.
Position sizing
Risk per trade as a fixed fraction of the account is what keeps a losing streak survivable. It matters more than the win rate of any strategy you use.
