One oversized trade can erase ten good decisions. ⚠️
New traders ask, “What can make me 20%?”
A better question: “What happens if I’m wrong?”
Risk management isn’t about avoiding losses. Losses happen. It’s about making sure one loss doesn’t knock you out of the game.
A simple example:
Account: $1,000
Risk per trade: 1% = $10
Stop-loss distance: 5%
Your position would be around $200, because 5% of $200 is $10.
That’s the key: decide your risk **before** entering—not once price moves against you.
And never widen a stop just because you “need it to come back.” That turns a planned loss into an emotional gamble.
Leverage makes this even more important. Bigger size can feel exciting… until one candle forces bad decisions. 🛡️
Protect capital first. Opportunities will always return. Your account might not if you treat every trade like a jackpot.
