Now, my main focus is on Bitcoin and a few other altcoins that aren't highly volatile as those useless shit-coins which exist for pumping and dumping.
Sometimes I use more than 20x leverage on Bitcoin but mostly I prefer to go with as high as 10x leverage. The 10x leverage on Bitcoin is far safer than 5x on any shit-coin that can move crazily. I know that the profits with Bitcoin trading pair aren't much as compare to others but the risk is minimum with Bitcoin trading.
But if you use high leverage, that doesn't really affect the volatility of the coin you trade right? Wouldn't that expose you to more volatility instead? I don't see why you would avoid SL altogether even if you're confident with the coin that you trade, since that confidence can't give you future insight to begin with. It is a also bit unwise to think that by conquering fear you mean not using any risk management tool available for you. I mean, you. can get fucked by many things other than wrong technical analysis.
