Risk Management Rules

Essential risk management principles for all trading strategies

Position Sizing
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade. Use proper lot sizing based on your stop loss distance.
Formula: Risk Amount ÷ Stop Loss Distance = Position Size
Risk-Reward Ratio
Maintain a minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratio. For every $1 you risk, aim to make at least $2 in profit.
Target: 1:2 minimum, 1:3 preferred for most strategies
Stop Loss Placement
Always use stop losses. Place them at logical levels like support/resistance, not arbitrary percentages.
Rule: Set stops before entering trades, never move them against you
