The 2% Rule – Smart Position Sizing

📊 Successful traders don’t focus only on profits, they focus on risk control. The 2% Rule says: never risk more than 2% of total capital in a single trade. ✅ How to Apply: If trading capital = ₹5,00,000 Max risk per trade (2%) = ₹10,000 If Stop Loss = ₹20 per share → position size = 500 shares (10,000 ÷ 20) 📌 This ensures 5 consecutive losses = only 10% capital drawdown, keeping you alive in markets. 🧠 Remember: Trading is about survival first, profit later.
