🧠 The 1% Rule: Why Most Traders Lose Money in Crypto
Everyone talks about finding the next massive breakout, but nobody talks about the math of actually staying in the game. Whether you are scalping volatile markets or swing trading, risk management is the only thing that separates gamblers from profitable traders.
Here is a golden rule to live by: Never risk more than 1-2% of your total capital on a single trade.
Think about the math: If you have a $1,000 portfolio and risk 1% ($10) with a strict Stop Loss, you can be wrong 100 times in a row before going broke. But if you risk 20% on a high-leverage impulse trade because of FOMO, it only takes 5 bad trades to completely wipe out your account.
Before you zoom in on the 15-minute chart or chase a giant green candle, map out your invalidation point. Calculate your risk before you calculate your reward.
Protect your capital first, and the profits will follow.
