Risk Management: The Real Secret Behind Profitable Trading

If you master only one thing in trading, let it be risk management.

Too many traders focus only on entries and signals—but without proper risk control, even the best setup can wreck your account. Here's how I manage risk on every trade:

Never risk more than 1–2% of your capital per trade. This keeps you in the game long-term, even after a few losses.

Use stop-losses always. Hope is not a strategy—define your risk before you enter.

Calculate position size based on stop-loss distance. Not just how much you “feel” like trading.

Respect leverage. I trade with 3x to 5x max and only on high-confidence setups.

Example:

If your account is $1,000 and your stop is 5%, you shouldn’t risk more than $10–$20 on that trade. Adjust lot size accordingly.

Risk management turns traders into professionals. You won’t win every trade—but with discipline, you don’t need to.

Protect your capital like it’s your business—because it is.
