📌 1. Position size
✅ Risk per trade: No more than 1-2% of the deposit
- Example: With a deposit of $100 → max risk $1-2
✅ Shoulder:
- Beginners: 1x-5x
- Experienced: up to 10x (only for verified strategies)
- Example: Deposit $100, risk 2%, stop-loss 5% → ($100 × 0.02) / 0.05 = $40
📌 2. Stop-loss and take-profit
✅ Stop-loss: Always strict!
- At a technical level (support/resistance)
- No more than 5% from the entry (for 5x leverage — 1%)
✅ Take-profit:
- At least 1:2 to risk (risk $1 → target +$2)
- Take 50% of the position at the first take
📌 3. Psychology
✅ Before the trade:
- Check your emotions: is there FOMO/fear?
- Close all previous trades
✅ During the trade:
- Do not move the stop-loss 'in hope'
- Do not add to a losing position
✅ After the trade:
- Record the result in the diary
- Take a break of 15+ minutes
📌 4. Market and time
✅ Do not trade:
- During major news (CPI, FOMC)
- In case of technical failures of the exchange
- In the first/last 30 minutes of the trading session
✅ Best time:
- European session (07:00-16:00 UTC)
- American session (13:00-22:00 UTC)
📌 5. Trader's diary
✅ What to record:
- Date, asset, direction (LONG/SHORT)
- The reason for entry (strategy + confirmation)
- Result (+%/-%) and mistakes
✅ Analysis:
- Check the ratio of winning/losing trades once a week
- Look for recurring mistakes
🚨 Emergency rules
🔴 If you lost 5% of the deposit in one day → STOP trading for 24 hours
🔴 3 losing trades in a row → Review your strategy
🔴 Market in panic (red candles 4h+) → Wait for stabilization
