DAY 8/30 - Risk Management: The 1% Rule 🛡️
> The technical side: Never risk more than 1% of your total capital on a single trade. 1% = maximum risk per trade.
> The emotional side: Protect your capital from yourself. The biggest risk isn't the market—it's impulsiveness.
> My personal process:
> 1. I calculate my risk BEFORE entering a trade
> 2. If I lose 3% in a day, I stop completely
> 3. I prioritize not losing over winning
> Reflection: Professionals don't try to win big; they try not to lose big.
> This is my personal journal, not financial advice.
