stop asking “how much can I make?”
start asking “how much can I lose?”
—
Most traders focus on profit first
targets… gains… big moves
but ignore the downside
—
so they enter trades without clear risk
and when price goes wrong…
they freeze
hold longer
hope more
lose bigger
—
good traders think opposite
they define loss first
where they’re wrong
how much they risk
when they exit
then they enter
—
because once risk is controlled
everything else becomes easier
—
profit is uncertain
risk is not
you can control one
not the other
—
that’s the edge
