The Math of 5% Drawdown
Critical Understanding
5% daily drawdown means 5 losing trades at 1% each = blown account. Position sizing is everything.
Golden Rule: 1% Max Risk
Safety Buffer
At 1% risk, you can take 5 losing trades before breaching. This gives margin for error.
Strategy: 3:1 Risk-Reward
Why 3:1 Works
At 3:1 RR, you only need 30% win rate to break even. 40%+ and you're profitable.
Setup Example
Daily Structure
Leave Buffer
If you risk 3% daily with 3 trades, you have 2% buffer left. Don't max out your daily limit.
