📉🛡️ Trust me, I learned this the hard way. This rule saved my trading career, and it will save yours: NEVER risk more than 1% of your total trading account on any single trade. It's how pros size every position without exception.
Let's do the math. With a $1,000 account, 1% risk means you're only risking $10 per trade. That's your maximum loss if your stop-loss is hit. Now, think about survival. With $10 risks, you need 100 *consecutive* losing trades to blow that $1,000 account. A hundred! If you risked 5% like I foolishly did, that's $50 per trade. You're wiped out after just 20 losses. Twenty! The difference in survival is undeniable. It's not about being right often, it's about staying in the game long enough to learn and profit.
