About this course

Most accounts do not blow up from bad entries. They blow up from bad risk. This course shows you how to size positions, set your risk-reward, manage open trades, and protect your capital so a single loss never ends your run.

What you'll learn

  • Size every position to a fixed risk
  • Apply a risk-reward ratio to each trade
  • Manage trades with stops and take-profits
  • Protect capital across a losing streak
