A Real Experience with Opening a Position with High Leverage and Its Consequences
In the world of futures trading, leverage is a powerful tool—but also a dangerous one. Many traders, especially beginners, fall into the trap of opening a position with high leverage, often resulting in significant losses.
As an active trader, I—Omid Haghdoost—have personally walked this risky path several times. The excitement of the market, rapid price fluctuations, and the temptation of multiplied profits have led me to occasionally act on impulse and open high-leverage positions without proper analysis or adherence to my trading strategy.
The result?
Losing capital within minutes.
This painful experience taught me valuable lessons:
-
Risk management is more important than chasing profits.
-
Sticking to your trading strategy is essential for long-term success.
-
And most importantly, opening a position with high leverage without a sound reason is gambling—not trading.
