The Truth Most Traders Ignore: Risk Management Can Save Your Portfolio!✅
°
Winning in trading isn’t just about good entries — it’s about protecting your capital.
Even the best strategy will fail if you don't manage your risk.
⚠️Here’s what every trader MUST follow:
🔸1. Never Risk More Than 1-2% Per Trade:
If your capital is $1,000 — risking $10-$20 per trade keeps you alive even after a losing streak.
🔸2. Always Use a Stop-Loss:
No SL = Emotional trading = Big losses.
A good stop-loss protects your capital and your peace of mind.
🔸3. Position Sizing Matters:
Don’t enter with random amounts.
Calculate how much to invest based on how much you’re willing to lose.
🔸4. Avoid Revenge Trading:
Lost a trade? Don’t rush to win it back.
Take a break. Review. Come back with logic, not emotions.
📣Pro Tip:
Your goal isn’t to win every trade — your goal is to survive long enough to let your edge play out.
🧧Bonus:
Even if you win just 40% of trades, you can still be profitable — IF your risk:reward is 1:2 or better!
