ExploreFAQ
How much should I risk per trade?
Most structured traders risk between 0.5% and 2% of their account per trade. Starting at 1% or below helps protect capital during the learning phase.
What is a drawdown?
The peak-to-trough decline in account value. Managing drawdown protects your ability to keep trading through losing periods.
Should I use stop losses on every trade?
Yes. A stop loss defines your maximum acceptable loss per trade and must be set before entry, not adjusted emotionally during the trade.
