🎯 Risk Management Best Practices
The 1% Rule
Never risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade. Risk Architect makes this automatic.
Position Sizing Formula
Position Size = (Account Size × Risk %) / (Entry Price - Stop Loss)
Risk Architect does this math instantly - no calculator needed.
Risk/Reward Ratios
Always aim for at least 1:2 risk/reward. Risk Architect shows you if your trade setup meets this criteria.
Stop Loss Discipline
Never trade without a stop loss. Risk Architect requires a stop price, enforcing proper risk management.
