3am. My screen glowed red, showing $0.00 where my $DOGE leverage play used to be. My heart wasn’t racing; it was cold. That $5,400 loss wasn't a mistake, it was a burial. Two years later, I don't look at the PnL. I look at the 1% risk rule. I calculate my stop loss against my total equity before I even click ‘buy.’ If the setup doesn't fit the math, I walk away. I stopped gambling on volatility and started trading the probabilities. What is the one number you refuse to risk per trade?
