The Risk Management Rules That Made This Work

Rule 1: 2% Max Risk Per Trade

Risk = RM 400 max
SL = 12-15 ticks max
This = RM 300-375 per trade
Well within 2% rule

Rule 2: Fixed SL Based on Chart

SL not based on "how much willing to lose." SL based on technical levels:

• Below support
• Below swing low
• With buffer for noise

Rule 3: No SL Movement (Further)

Both losses:

• SL was hit
• Position closed
• Moved on

No "just a bit more room" mistakes.

Rule 4: RRR Minimum 1:2

All trades planned with:

• Minimum 1:2 RRR
• Actual achieved: ~1:3

Rule 5: Consistent Sizing

Same 1 lot for all trades:

• Losers: 1 lot
• Winners: 1 lot
• No emotional adjustments

Lessons For You

Lesson 1: Small Losses Are Okay

Two losses today. Still massively profitable.

Accept: You will have losing trades. The key is making them SMALL.

Lesson 2: Let Winners Work

Average winner: 36 ticks Average loser: 12 ticks

Even with 50% win rate, this is profitable!

Lesson 3: Emotion After Loss = Danger

This trader's response to loss:

• "Okay, that didn't work"
• Wait for next setup
• Execute next setup properly

NOT:

• "Market is stupid!"
• Revenge trade immediately
• Increase size to recover

Lesson 4: Consistency Is Key

Same rules, every trade:

• Same risk percentage
• Same position sizing
• Same entry criteria
• Same exit discipline

Lesson 5: It's a Numbers Game

With proper RRR, you don't need high win rate.
