Don't over trade. Calculate how much movement you can go wrong.

Recently one of my reader sent an email to me, asking me why is his oil trade stopped out by the platform. After calculating his trade, then I know that his capital only allows him to go on the wrong direction by $2.

He shorted oil, so when oil rises from $138 to $143, the platform closed his position. He lost almost 90% of his capital.
