Most new traders do not lose because of bad signals. They lose because one oversized trade undoes twenty good ones. This is how you stop that happening.
- 1
Cap risk per trade
Risk a small fixed percentage of the balance on every trade so no single loss changes your plan. Keep the percentage the same whether you are up or down.
- 2
Cap losses per day
Decide in advance how many losses end your trading day. When you hit it, close the platform — revenge trading is what empties accounts.
- 3
Avoid over-leverage
High leverage does not increase your edge, it only increases how fast a mistake becomes fatal. Size from your stop loss, never from the maximum lot available.
- 4
Keep a simple journal
Log the pair, the size, the outcome, and one sentence on whether you followed your rules. Patterns show up within a couple of weeks.
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE NOW
Rules written down before the next trade, not after the next loss.
