Risk management: 1–2% vs 100%, the X:Y rule

Position sizing, reward-to-risk, and why a stop is never optional.

आप क्या सीखेंगे

  • Conservative vs aggressive sizing
  • Reward-to-risk 1:3 and 1:10
  • Why stop-losses are non-negotiable
Reward-to-risk 1:3 infographic on a candlestick chart: a −1R stop and a +3R target.

The deciding factor is not picking tops — it is risk control.

1–2% vs 100%

  • Classic (1–2% per trade): low stress, survives losing streaks, slower growth.
  • Aggressive (full deposit, tight 1–2% stop): faster growth, but high risk if the entry is wrong.

The X:Y principle

Size trades by reward-to-risk — 1:3 (classic) or 1:10 (tight stop, high target). If your stop risks $X, your target should aim for roughly $Y. A stop-loss order is never optional: losing a large share of the deposit in one session is how a disciplined trader becomes a statistic.
