📌 How not to blow your deposit on futures: The 2% golden rule
Many newcomers come to trading for quick profits, opening trades “all in” with 50x leverage. The result is almost always the same — liquidation. Professionals, however, think not in terms of profit size, but in terms of potential loss size.
The proven classic of risk management is the 2% Rule.
What’s the essence?
In a single trade, you cannot lose more than 2% of your total trading balance. Do not confuse this with position size! It specifically refers to the stop-loss.
How to calculate it?
Your deposit: $1,000.
Risk per trade (2%): $20.
If you enter a long on BTC and your Stop-Loss is 5% from the entry point, then your position size including leverage should be calculated so that when the stop is triggered, you lose exactly $20 (not $100 or $500).
Set a stop-loss — sleep peacefully. The market is volatile, but your capital is protected.
