Trading Risk Rules One-Pager
Print this or save it. Risk rules keep you in the game long enough to get skilled.
Before every trade
- Max loss in £ is known before entry.
- Stop sits where the idea is wrong — not “somewhere hopefully safe.”
- Position size comes from stop distance × risk percent.
- If you cannot state the thesis in one sentence, skip.
Account rules
- Risk about 0.5–1% of the account per trade while learning (pick a number; stick to it).
- Hard daily loss limit — stop for the day when hit.
- No trading when angry, exhausted, or chasing a loss.
- Demo until your behaviour matches these rules.
Forbidden (while learning)
- Removing or widening stops mid-trade to avoid being wrong
- Doubling size after a loss
- Using high leverage “because the account is small”
- Trading tips with no written plan
Questions
Will these rules make me profitable?
No set of rules guarantees profit. They reduce blow-ups so you can keep learning. Profit needs process plus time.
Where do I learn the rest?
