Quick Tips

Risk 1-2% Per Trade

Professional traders typically risk no more than 1-2% of their account on any single trade.

Aim for 2:1 or Better

Look for trades with at least a 2:1 reward-to-risk ratio for better profitability over time.

Always Use a Stop Loss

Never enter a trade without a predetermined stop loss to limit your downside risk.

Journal Your Trades

Track every trade to identify patterns and improve your risk management over time.
