Risk-Per-Trade is the fixed share of your account you are willing to lose on any single trade — commonly 1-2%. It bounds the damage of a losing streak.
How traders use it
- Keep it small and constant across trades.
- It drives your position size via the stop distance.
- Low risk-per-trade survives long losing streaks.
