Meet John and Sally.

Both start trading with $1,000 in their accounts.

But their styles? Night and day.

John is the daredevil—

He risks $250 per trade. Fast, wild, no seatbelt.

(He probably wrestles sharks for fun.)

Sally plays it safe—

She risks only $20 per trade.

(Reads the terms and conditions before clicking "I agree.")

They both use the same trading strategy:

Win rate: 50% | Reward: Twice the risk.

Over their next 8 trades, here’s what happens:

Lose. Lose. Lose. Lose. Win. Win. Win. Win.

Let’s break it down…

John’s results:

-250, -250, -250, -250 = Account gone.

Game over. No parachute.

Sally’s results:

-20, -20, -20, -20, +40, +40, +40, +40 = +$80 profit.

Still in the game. Still growing.

The lesson?

It’s not about being bold.

It’s about being smart.

Risk small. Stay in the game. Win big—eventually.

Trade like Sally. Not like a movie stuntman.
