Business Mindset: Risk Management is Everything
Let's talk with a business mindset, not as players who are only seeking adrenaline. Our goal is long-term sustainability, not a momentary thrill.
1. The Key is Not How Much You Earn, but How Much You Can Lose
Many times, we explain basic concepts assuming that everyone understands the fundamentals; but ignorance, like Eve with the apple, can lead us to fatal mistakes.
The real focus is not on "how much you want to earn at the end of the day," but on understanding how much you can afford to lose.
2. The Golden Rule: Capital Preservation
Logically, you should never allow yourself to lose more than 10% of your total capital in a series of failed trades. That is your safety limit.
So, the critical question is: how much should I risk per individual trade?
3. The 10 Opportunities Plan (Risk 1% per Trade)
Exactly: if you want to have at least 10 opportunities before hitting your 10% limit, you should only risk 1% of your total capital per trade.
This works perfectly if you use a Risk/Reward (RR) ratio of 1:2.
What does RR 1:2 mean? You risk 1 unit of capital to seek to gain 2 units.
4. The Power of Statistics
This strategy gives you a wide and robust margin of success:
Out of 10 trades, if you win 5 and lose 5, you end up winning (thanks to RR 1:2).
If you win 4 and lose 6, you remain close to the break-even point.
Even in the worst-case scenario, if you lose 10 trades in a row (something unlikely), you will have only lost 10% of your total capital.
This is the complete opposite of the "Wolf of Wall Street" mentality, which would bet all its capital on a single reckless move.
Influence or Empty Popularity?
In this space, it is very different from just accumulating. The metric is not the number, but the impact.
Change a trend, if you are capable. The rest is noise.
