The 1% Rule

Professional traders typically risk 0.5โ€“2% of account equity per trade. At 1% risk with a $25,000 account, the maximum loss per trade is $250. This allows a 100-trade losing streak before full account loss โ€” a statistical impossibility with any edge.

Position size = (Account ร— Risk%) รท (Entry โˆ’ Stop Loss). Never size based on a "round lot" โ€” size based on your predefined risk.
