🛡️💰 Remember my $600 disaster? That was leverage gone wild, but the *real* killer was position sizing. After blowing my account, I learned: never risk more than 1-2% of your total capital on *any single trade*. Let's say you have $1000. Your max risk per trade is $10 (1%) to $20 (2%). Now, calculate your stop-loss distance. If entry is $10 and stop is $9.90, you risk $0.10 per unit. With max $10 risk, you can buy $10 / $0.10 = 100 units. This means you can be wrong 50-100 times before blowing your $1000, assuming you always use your stop. It keeps you in the game! Without it, one bad trade *will* end you. Calculate your max units *before* every single trade. It's boring, but it's your survival manual.
