Risk-management rules

Best practices

  • Risk ≤ 1% per trade

    Out of 100 trades, you can absorb 20 consecutive losses without blowing up.

  • Max drawdown 5%

    If you hit 5% DD, take a 24h break and review your trades.

  • R:R ≥ 1:2

    With a 50% win rate and R:R 1:2, you are profitable.

  • No double position

    Avoid opening 2 correlated positions (EURUSD + GBPUSD).

Prop firm rules

FTMO 100k: max drawdown 10%, max daily loss 5%. Size so you never breach these limits.
