The best advice I can give you is this: use a proper R:R (Risk to Reward) strategy, and always aim for a minimum of 2R profit per trade.
If your balance is sufficient, divide it by 100 and use that to define your 1R. If you're working with a small account and trying to grow it, then divide it by 10 instead.
Once you've done this, you'll know exactly how much you're willing to lose per trade in dollar terms.
Now let’s do some simple math; Even if you look at this as gambling, you technically have a 50% chance — it either goes up or down.
So let's say you take 10 trades with a 30% win rate. That means 7 trades are losses, resulting in a total of -7R. But the other 3 trades are winners — and if you aimed for 2R per winning trade, you make +6R from them.
That leaves you with:
-7R (losses) + 6R (wins) = -1R total, meaning you’ve almost broken even, just 1R down.
Now here’s the key part: you still protected your capital and stayed nearly flat — even with a low 30% win rate.
But if you manage to push your win rate with some knowledge just above 30%, you’ll start growing your account.
With just a bit more accuracy or better setups, you could easily turn that into a +20% increase in your balance.
That's the power of proper risk management...
