How Much Should You Really Risk Per Trade?
Main Topic Notes
Sponsored by Pepperstone
Most traders just pick 1% because someone told them to. But where did that number come from? And does it actually make sense for your goals, your win rate, and your R:R?
In this episode I break down how to reverse engineer your risk per trade from your actual trading data.
We look at why trade frequency can be a trap, why small changes in R:R massively shift the maths, and why the textbook approach ignores the one thing that matters most… your goal. I also built a risk per trade calculator you can play with.
