This is the truth and reality that every newbie must hodl on to.
Trading with funds that you can afford to lose gives you peace of mind, and the required calmness to trade efficiently.
That way, you are not under any pressure to perform.
Actually, this is a simple thing. you just don't need to put all your money into trading. however, it has a big risk. if you want to be serious about this, that's very good, but don't ever take a greater risk than what you can bear. my suggestion is to use your assets below 50%.
Yes, it's very simple rule and yet don't all traders obey it. Otherwise there wouldn't be so many traders in losses they can't cover. The thing.is that they believe if they push a bit harder, even above their limits they will cover losses and even make profit.
The problem is.that some traders are not so good in risk management or they just ignore it, they don't plan the funds in advance or calculate the possible amount of loss in their trading strategy. If they have one.
