The 2% Rule
Most professional traders never risk more than 2% of their capital on a single trade. This protects you from catastrophic losses during losing streaks.
Risk-Reward Ratio
Aim for at least 1:2 risk-reward ratio. If you risk ₹100, your target should be at least ₹200. This ensures long-term profitability even with 50% win rate.
Position Sizing
Your stop loss determines your position size, not your profit target. Calculate backwards from your acceptable loss to determine how many shares/lots to trade.
