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.
