FAQ
What's a typical risk percentage per trade?
Many traders use 1-2% of account size per trade to limit drawdown from any single loss, though this depends on personal risk tolerance.
How is position size calculated?
Position size = (account size × risk %) / (entry price − stop-loss price), scaled by the applicable contract or unit size.
