Start with a risk limit
Before looking at a target, decide how much account capital you are prepared to risk on one trade idea. The amount should be small enough that one losing trade does not change your decision-making process.
Position size follows the stop
A position-size calculation links account balance, risk percentage and stop-loss distance. A wider stop normally requires a smaller position if the money risk is held constant. Use the position size calculator to make the relationship visible.
Understand drawdown
A sequence of losses can create drawdown, and recovering from a large drawdown requires disproportionately larger gains. The risk/reward calculator helps you inspect the planned trade before entering.
Build a repeatable process
Record why you entered, where your invalidation level was, what size you used and what happened. Pair that journal process with the FTB learning hub and avoid treating any calculation as a guarantee.
