đđ Okay, team, gather 'round. I lost $600 of my capital in about 20 minutes once, trading with zero risk management. Don't be me. Today's lesson: the 1% risk rule. It's simple: *never risk more than 1% of your total trading capital on any single trade*. Here's why it's non-negotiable.
Say you start with a $1,000 account. With the 1% rule, your maximum loss per trade is $10. Not $50, not $100 â just $10. Think about this: At $10 per loss, you'd need to have 100 consecutive losing trades to blow that $1,000 account. One hundred! Now, imagine risking just 5% of that account per trade ($50). You'd be out of the game in just 20 losing trades. Twenty. That's the difference between trading another day and being completely wiped out. Protect your capital like it's gold. It's the only way to stay...
