The 5% Rule: Why Over-Risking Can Destroy Your Portfolio $ETH

Behavior: Risking an excessively large portion of your capital (e.g., 10%, 20%, or more) on a single trade.

Consequence: Recovery becomes extremely difficult.

A 20% loss requires a 25% gain on the remaining capital to break even.

A 50% loss demands a 100% gain just to return to your starting point. $XRP

Result: Overexposure accelerates account drawdown and increases emotional stress, often leading to poor decision-making. $SEI

Better Approach: Limit risk per trade to 1–5% of total capital, apply stop-loss orders, and maintain a disciplined risk management plan.
