In all of these can we say that a risk management strategy is to not long the market? Because in as much as with or without leverage a trader can still get liquidated, there to manage the risk involved in not using leverage is to long the market. Correct?
Trading is not easy at all. Also as you can make money from long position, you can also make money from short position. Just make sure you use a very low leverage. You might go long and the market might start going in the short direction. What that is best is to know when to use stop loss, I mean for you to just close the position for more losses not to happen. Losses can occur with in long or short position. It is you that should be able to manage the risk by using lie leverage and using a good strategy to trade.
