Most new traders don’t lose from bad entries — they lose because they risk too much, too often.
Let’s fix that with a bulletproof risk system anyone can follow 🔐
—
🔹 Step 1: Understand Risk Per Trade
Never risk more than 1%–2% of your total capital on any trade.
📌 Example:
If your account = $500
→ Risk 1% = $5
→ If trade fails, you lose only $5 — not your entire account 😮💨
This keeps emotions out and helps you stay consistent!

🔹 Step 2: How to Calculate Position Size
Here’s the simple formula:
Position Size = Risk $ ÷ (Entry Price – Stop Loss Price)
📍 Example:
• Capital: $1,000
• Risk: 1% → $10
• Entry: $100
• SL: $98
• Risk per unit: $2
✅ Position size = $10 ÷ $2 = 5 units
So you buy 5 tokens, not 50. That’s how pros trade 🔒

🔹 Step 3: Always Use Stop Loss
A stop loss is your safety net. Without it, one bad trade could wipe your entire account.
⚠️ Never say “I’ll close it manually if it goes wrong.” You won’t — emotions take over.
⛑️ Use stop-loss orders directly on Binance when placing your trade.

🔹 Step 4: Focus on Risk-to-Reward Ratio
Only take trades with R:R of 1:2 or better
This means for every $1 you risk, you aim to make $2+
📌 Why?
• With 1:2 R:R, even if you’re right only 40% of the time, you’re still profitable 💰
🎯 Example:
• Risk: $10
• Reward: $20
• Win 4 trades, lose 6 = +$20 total
—
🔹 Step 5: Don’t Overtrade
New traders often revenge trade or open too many trades at once.
Set these rules:
✅ Max 2 trades per day
✅ Max 1%–2% risk per trade
✅ Don’t increase size after losses (it’s not a casino)

🧠 Pro Tips for Binance Traders:
1. Use Binance’s built-in calculator to pre-check your position size
2. Set alerts near entry points — don’t stare at charts all day
3. Track every trade in a journal (win/loss, R:R, emotions)

🔐 Risk Management = Survival
Trading is not about winning every trade — it’s about protecting your capital while you learn the game.
Amateurs focus on entries.
Pros focus on risk.
