4. Hard-Learned Lessons: These Basic Errors Are Eroding Your Capital
4.1 2025 FCA Disclosure Real Case:
Trader A, during a gold price plunge, mistakenly identified 1 Pip of XAU/USD as $0.01 per lot (the actual value should be $0.1 per lot), and went all-in with 5 lots, resulting in an actual loss of $5,000 (expected loss was $500).
Root cause: Failure to verify with a professional calculator.

4.2 Two Ironclad Rules You Must Follow
(1)bLeverage Killer Formula:
Always remember: Maximum tolerable loss ≥ Spread cost × 2 + Estimated slippage.
(For example, if the spread is $20 and slippage is $10 → The stop loss per trade must not be <$50)
(2) Black Swan Defense:
Input "extreme volatility values" (such as ±20% in a single day) into the calculator to check if your account will be liquidated, and make it a habit.
