Most traders focus on gains.
Experienced traders focus on risk.
Here is a simple truth:
If you risk 10% per trade,
2 or 3 losses can destroy your account.
But if you risk 1%:
You can lose 10 times in a row
and still be in the game.
Trading is not about speed.
It's a matter of survival.
Simple rule:
Capital: 1000$
Risk per trade: 1% = 10$ maximum.
No matter the leverage.
No matter the strategy.
If your risk is controlled,
your emotions will be too.
The small accounts explode
due to lack of patience,
not due to lack of analysis.
