Risk management is often what separates traders who last from those who do not.
A common starting principle is to only risk a small, defined percentage of your account on any single trade, so that a string of losses does not wipe out your capital.
Setting a stop-loss before entering a trade helps remove emotion from the decision of when to exit a losing position.
Diversifying across different assets, rather than concentrating everything in one instrument, can also help reduce overall exposure to any single market move.
Trading always involves risk, and past strategies do not guarantee future results. Only trade with capital you can afford to allocate toward this purpose.
