Why Risk Management Beats Entry Timing

Most traders obsess over “perfect entries.” But the truth? Surviving the trade matters more than nailing the exact candle.

Key points:

1️⃣ Define risk first – Know exactly how much you’ll lose if the trade fails.

2️⃣ Position sizing > Entry price – Small positions survive mistakes, big ones don’t.

3️⃣ Stop-loss discipline – Move on if price invalidates your edge. Don’t chase hope.

4️⃣ Focus on probability, not certainty – No trade is guaranteed; your edge is statistical over time.

💡 Example:

• Entry: $ETH $2,800

• Risk 2% of your account

• Target $3,000

Even if you’re 1 candle late, you’re safe. The math works.

⚡ The secret?

Consistency > perfection. Master risk first, then everything else becomes easier.
