The answer is risk management. Let me break it down clearly.
🔴 THE BRUTAL TRUTH
5 winners at 1R profit each = +5R
1 loser at 10R loss = -10R
Net result: -5R (losing trader despite 83% win rate)
This is real. This destroys accounts. And it’s 100% preventable.
✅ THE FRAMEWORK I USE
1️⃣ THE 1-2% RULE
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade.
$1,000 account = max $20 risk per trade
$10,000 account = max $200 risk per trade
You can survive 20+ losing trades in a row at 1% risk.
You’re out in 10 trades at 10% risk.
2️⃣ RISK/REWARD MINIMUM
Only take trades where potential reward is at least 2x your risk.
1:2 R/R minimum. 1:3 ideal.
This means you can lose 50% of trades and still profit.
3️⃣ POSITION SIZING FORMULA
Risk Amount ÷ (Entry Price - Stop Price) = Position Size
Example:
Account: $5,000 | Risk: 1% = $50
$BTC entry: $60,000 | Stop: $59,000 | Distance = $1,000
Position size = $50 ÷ $1,000 = 0.05 BTC
4️⃣ NEVER MOVE YOUR STOP LOSS DOWN
If your stop is hit, accept the loss. The market doesn’t care about your feelings.
Moving stops = emotional trading = account blown.
5️⃣ CORRELATION RISK
Don’t hold $BTC, $ETH, and $BNB simultaneously thinking it’s diversification.
They all crash together. That’s 3x the risk you think you have.
