📊 💰 Capital Management:
(Risk Management): The secret that protects you from a single trade!
You may be a good analyst…
But if you risk a large part of your capital in one trade, one losing trade can erase several successful ones.
🎯 The basic rule:
Decide your risk first… then determine the trade size.
Example:
Your capital = 1,000$
You decide that the maximum acceptable loss per trade = 1%
➡️ Risk = 10$
If the stop loss is 5% away from entry, that doesn’t mean you should enter with the full 1,000$.
Approximate trade size:
10$ ÷ 5% = 200$
So you’re risking about 10$ if the price reaches the Stop Loss—before fees and slippage.
🧠 Remember:
Trade size ≠ risk amount
The trade can be large, but the risk is calculated based on where the Stop Loss is.
❌ Mistakes that destroy your account:
- Doubling the trade to recover a loss.
- Using high leverage without understanding its risks.
- Risking a huge portion of your capital in a single trade.
- Moving the Stop Loss farther away because you don’t want to admit the loss.
🔥 The most important idea:
Your goal isn’t to win every trade.
Your goal is to stay able to trade after a streak of losing trades.
🛡️ Risk management:
There is no single risk percentage that fits everyone.
Choose a level that matches your capital, your plan, and your ability to tolerate losses.
Protect your capital first… then think about profits.
