🛡️ Risk management: strategy #1 is preserving capital
$BTC is currently at ~$82,349, with weekly support at $79,800 and resistance at $84,352. Let’s use these real numbers to practice the essentials:
1️⃣ The 1–2% rule per trade
In a $1,000 account, 1% = $10 of risk per trade. Never risk more than that on a single position.
2️⃣ Place your stop below support, not at a round number
Your stop goes where the idea fails: below the $79,800 support (e.g., $79,700), not at an arbitrary level “because it feels right.”
3️⃣ Size your position based on your stop
Entry → stop distance: $82,349 → $79,700 ≈ 3.2%.
Maximum position size = risk ÷ distance = $10 ÷ 3.2% ≈ $313.
The wider the stop, the smaller the position—and the dollar risk always stays the same: $10.
4️⃣ Minimum risk/reward ratio of 1:2
If you risk $10, your target must offer at least $20. If the target doesn’t fit the chart structure, there’s no trade—patience is risk management, too.
5️⃣ Several small stops are better than going “all-in”
10 small $10 stops = a maximum loss of $100, and you’re still in the game for the next opportunity. Going all-in with $1,000 and taking a 10% drop = -$100 at once—and you’re already out of room.
Preserving capital is strategy #1. Profits come later—and only for those who still have capital. 💪
