7. What is drawdown?

Answer: Drawdown = How much your account drops from its peak.

Example: You peak at $10,000, then drop to $8,000 = 20% drawdown.

It measures how much pain you went through. Low drawdown = pro trader.

It keeps you in the game

One bad trade can wipe out 10 good trades if you have no risk rules.

With risk management: You can lose 5-10 times in a row and still have 90% of your account.

Without it: One revenge trade = account blown.

Evening guys

4. Position sizing = Deciding HOW MUCH to trade so you only risk the amount you’re comfortable losing.

It’s NOT "how many lots or shares I buy".

It’s "how do I make sure this 1 trade only costs me $100 if I’m wrong".

Why it matters:

You can have the same $100 risk on a $10,000 account and a $1000 account.

Position sizing is what makes that possible.

1. What is a stop-loss?

Stop-loss = Your "I was wrong" button.

It’s a pre-set order that automatically closes your trade when the price hits a certain level to limit how much you lose.

5. Why is risk management important?

Because strategy makes you money. Risk management keeps you from losing it all.

Trading without risk management is like driving 200mph with no brakes.

4. What is position sizing?

Position sizing = Deciding how much to buy so that if your stop-loss hits, you only lose the amount you planned to lose.*

It’s not “how many lots”. It’s “how do I control my dollar risk.

1. What is a stop-loss?

Answer: A stop-loss is your exit if the trade goes wrong.

It’s a pre-set price/order that automatically closes your trade to limit your loss.

Think: _"This is where I admit I was wrong."

Example: You buy at $100, SL at $95. If it hits $95, you’re out -$5.

2. What is take-profit?

Answer: A take-profit is your exit when the trade goes right.

It’s a pre-set price/order that automatically closes your trade to lock in profit.

Think: _"This is my target."

Example: You buy at $100, TP at $110. If it hits $110, you’re out +$10.

3. What is risk-to-reward ratio?

Answer: R:R = How much you risk vs how much you can make.

Formula: Risk: Reward

Example: Risk $5 to make $10 = 1:2 R:R

Rule: If you have a 1:2, you only need to win 40% of trades to be profitable.

4. What is position sizing?

Answer: Position sizing = How much of the asset you buy so that you only risk X amount.

It’s NOT "how many lots". It’s "how much will I lose if my SL hits".

Formula: Position Size =

Example: $100 account risk, SL is 50 pips away = you size so you only lose $100.

5. Why is risk management important?

Answer: Because 1 bad trade can blow your account.

Risk management keeps you alive so you can trade tomorrow.

Without it: Emotions, revenge trading, blown accounts.

With it: You survive losing streaks and let winners pay you.

6. How much should a trader risk per trade?

Answer: The golden rule: 1-2% of your account per trade.

Pros use 0.5% - 1%.

Example: $10,000 account x 1% = $100 max loss per trade.

Why? You can lose 10 times in a row and still have 90% of your account left.

7. What is drawdown?

Answer: Drawdown = How much your account drops from its peak.

Example: You peak at $10,000, then drop to $8,000 = 20% drawdown.

It measures how much pain you went through. Low drawdown = pro trader.
