The 1% Rule Saved My Account

When I was a beginner, I thought trading was about finding the perfect entry.

So every time I felt sure, I went big. And one bad trade wiped out

a week of effort. Then I learned a rule that sounds boring but

it is the reason traders survive: Never risk more than 1% per trade.

Because the market doesn’t care how confident you feel. Even a good setup can lose.

But if you risk small, you stay in the game long enough to learn.

So I started doing this: If I had 1,000 dollars, I risked 10

dollars per trade. That is it. Suddenly, losing didn’t break me.
