Trading tips
Aim for < 1% risk of ruin
Professional traders maintain a risk of ruin below 1%. If yours is higher, reduce your risk per trade or improve your edge.
Win rate isn't everything
A 40% win rate with a 3:1 reward-to-risk ratio beats a 70% win rate with 0.5:1. Focus on the overall expectancy.
Risk per trade is the lever
Reducing risk from 5% to 2% per trade can drop risk of ruin from 50% to near 0%. It's the single most impactful variable.
Recalculate monthly
As your win rate and R:R evolve, recalculate. Your risk profile changes with every adjustment to your strategy.
