What it means in practice
As an illustration, risking 1% of the account per trade ($200) gives you room for 5 full losses before the maximum drawdown. Many traders size smaller, around 0.25–0.5%, so a bad day can't end the account. Use our position size calculator to turn a dollar risk into lots or contracts.
