Frequently Asked Questions

What is position sizing in trading?

Position sizing determines how many shares or contracts to buy based on your risk tolerance, ensuring no single trade can cause excessive damage to your account.

How much should I risk per trade?

A common rule is to risk no more than 1-2% of your total trading account on any single trade, helping preserve capital through inevitable losing trades.

What is a stop-loss level?

A stop-loss is a predetermined price at which you'll exit a losing trade to limit further losses. It's set based on technical analysis or a fixed risk amount.
