Drawdown Management Tips

  • • Keep your risk per trade consistent, ideally below 2% of your account balance.
  • • Plan for at least a 10-20% drawdown as part of your trading strategy expectations.
  • • Consider reducing position size during drawdown periods to preserve capital.
  • • Track your actual drawdown against your projected figures to validate your risk model.
  • • Remember: Consecutive losses are a normal part of trading, not necessarily a sign of a failed strategy.
