Risk management isn’t just “nice to have” - it’s the only reason I’m still green this month.
April was messy. I had 6 losing trades. Some due to random news (thanks tariffs), some from bad timing (Asia fills, London stops), and some just didn’t work. That’s trading.
But here’s the thing - the biggest loss I took was only -1R. Most of them were controlled, even the -0.5R one, because I managed risk properly.
Now check the good side: the wins were 4R, 4R, 4R. A few strong setups carried the whole month, because I didn’t let one bad trade nuke the account.
If I’d let any of those red trades run, I’d be in red. Instead, April closed around 12.5R overall.
Let this be a reminder: You don’t need to win every trade You just need to not blow up when you're wrong. 💸
