Module 6: Risk Management
Risk Per Trade
5 min read
Risking a small, fixed percentage per trade helps you survive losing streaks.
Why small risk matters
Losing streaks happen to every trader. At 1% risk, ten losses in a row leave about 90% of the account. At 10% risk, the same streak leaves about 35%.
Many educators suggest 1–2% or less per trade for beginners. The right number is personal, but lower is safer.
Key takeaways
- Losing streaks are normal.
- Small risk keeps you in the game.
- Set a maximum daily loss too.
