DLC: Long & Short with Leverage — A New Way to Trade

Trading SGX DLCs humbled me real quick.

Thought: "5x Long = easy money"

Reality: daily reset, compounding, airbag can wipe you to zero 😅

What I learned after a few months trading HSI and US indices DLCs:

Long is not always strong. Short is not always wrong.

DLCs are for DAYS, not months.

If you don't have a stop loss, the market will give you one.

I now only use DLCs when:

1. Trend is super clear 2. I can watch the market 3. Position size is small

It's a scalpel, not a sledgehammer.

Still learning. If you're trading DLCs too, let's share notes 👇
