Lesson 2 of 4
Risk Management
You can be right less than half the time and still be profitable — if you manage risk well.
Core rules
- Risk a small % per trade — many pros risk 1% or less of their account on any single trade.
- Always use a stop-loss — decide your exit before you enter.
- Mind your risk-to-reward — aim for trades where the potential reward outweighs the risk.
Protecting your capital is job number one. You can't trade tomorrow if you blow up today.
