Exchange trading is gambling. Treat money you trade with as money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses.
Keeping control
- Set deposit and loss limits with your exchange before you start.
- Decide your maximum stake or liability per trade in advance.
- Take breaks, and never trade to recover losses.
- Use the exchange's reality checks and time-outs.
