5% 10% 20% 30% or all 100% leverage?

We all have that one trade. The one that taught us more than any book or video ever could.

For me, it was going all-in on TQQQ right before a Fed announcement without a stop-loss. I thought "it's just 3x, how bad can it be?" Turns out, very bad. Lost 25% in a day.

What's YOUR biggest leveraged ETF mistake?  Share it below so beginners know what traps to avoid.

I'll start:

- ❌ No stop-loss

- ❌ Position way too big (50% of account on one trade)

- ❌ Didn't check VIX before entering

- ❌ Held through earnings "because it would come back"

Beginners: Read these carefully. Every mistake below is a free lesson.
