Well i met a lot of new traders who blasted their accounts in 2-3 Months time. Often i notice these new traders trade big lots relative to their account size and that's often the reason of failure. So I call it leverage the killer.

Do you agree with me using bigger lot size is often reason for failure for most of the traders ? Please share your story and feedback

Leverage is not the killer--a lack of understanding ,poor execution, and inexperience are lethal

well said actually a trader has to learn how to make use of leverages, there are many traders who use leverage very smartly to book profits.

No, I don't agree with you, leverage can work in your favor if you actually know what you are doing.

It's a FOREST GUMP Logic, Leverage vs No Leverage.
With 0 leverage you'll struggle to beat inflation.
It's all mathematics. You know how much you lose. And you know that you have at least 100 tries to open a new position after each loss. I use reversed martingale money management. I reduce my position size by 2 after each loss so I have huge quantity of bullets in my machine gun. Once you're backed by this, you try your best to reduce losses. You also need at least 1:2 average risk:profit ratio to cover your losses by 1/2 position size. This money management is not ok with low profit ratio strategies neither.
