5 risk rules every new trader should learn before their first trade:
1. Pick your max loss before you enter.
2. Size it so one bad trade can't sink your month.
3. Treat high leverage as a red flag, not a feature. It's how traders get wiped out.
4. Set a stop and don't move it.
5. If you can't explain the trade in one sentence, skip it.
Protect the downside first.
