Trading Essentials

The 1% Rule

Risk management is key. Most professionals never risk more than 1% of their total capital on a single trade to protect against losing streaks.

Stop Loss

A predetermined price point where you exit a trade to prevent further loss. It removes emotion from your trading strategy.

Risk/Reward Ratio

A measure of potential profit compared to potential loss. Aiming for 1:2 or higher means your wins outweigh your losses.
