Trading Strategy Tips

Weekly Instagram Trading Poll 

How much of your trading equity do you usually risk on a trade......

Less than 2% - 44%

More than 2%

Many studies have been undertaken that prove that you should not risk more than 2% of your portfolio on any one trade.  Even 2% is probably much too high for the average trader. New traders should probably start at 0.5% risk per trade for at least their first 100 trades until they have proven that their trading strategy is profitable.
