If you trade shit coins, you will see yourself losing because they are too volatile. If you gain, you may later lose. Successful traders trade with less than 10 times of their trading funds. If you have $1000 for trading, using $100 makes you understand what trading is. If you use leverage, you are increasing the chance of you losing. Patient traders are more likely to earn.
well trading with shitcoin is very risky indeed , and you don't have an idea what will happen next on the big pump if it's a dust or not, coz mostly always made rug pull without knowing.
And trading is about knowledge, skills and patience , wherein if you over trade without such things of course you will end up liquidated. Lastly about using leverage, for me in my opinion it depends on your risk reward ratio if you really follow it . What i mean on this is you don't move your stop loss when you see that market is against your trade and you have a good strategy as well. . Imagine 1:2 you have risk reward , for sure even you made 1 mistake but you win on your 2nd and 3rd trade you're still profitable right?
