Most traders lose money because they focus on entries. The best traders I know barely talk about entries — they obsess over position sizing.

Here's the rule: Never risk more than 1% of your account on a single trade.

Sounds simple, but most people ignore it. They size up when they're "confident" and blow up their account on one bad week.

Do the math:

• $10K account → max $100 risk per trade

• If your stop loss is 2% from entry, your position size is $5,000

• You'd need to lose 10 trades in a row to be down 10%

That's survivable. That's how you stay in the game long enough to actually get good.

The best traders aren't the ones with the best entries. They're the ones who are still here after 3 years because they didn't blow up.
