The Math of 5% Drawdown
Critical Understanding
5% daily drawdown means 5 losing trades at 1% each = blown account. Position sizing is everything.
| Risk per Trade | Losses Until Breached |
|---|---|
| 2% | 2.5 trades |
| 1% | 5 trades |
| 0.5% | 10 trades |
Golden Rule: 1% Max Risk
| Account Size | 1% Risk | Max Loss/Trade |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | $100 | $100 |
| $50,000 | $500 | $500 |
| $100,000 | $1,000 | $1,000 |
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
| Win Rate | Net Result |
|---|---|
| 30% | Breakeven |
| 40% | +80% of risk |
| 50% | +200% of risk |
At 3:1 RR, you only need 30% win rate to break even. 40%+ and you're profitable.
Setup Example
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Risk | 1% ($500 on $50K) |
| Stop loss | 25 pips |
| Take profit | 75 pips (3:1) |
| Win rate needed | 30%+ |
Daily Structure
| Rule | Details |
|---|---|
| Max trades | 3 per day |
| Risk per trade | 1% |
| Total daily risk | 3% max |
| Buffer | 2% before breach |
Leave Buffer
If you risk 3% daily with 3 trades, you have 2% buffer left. Don't max out your daily limit.
Pairs to Trade
| Pair | Why |
|---|---|
| EUR/USD | Cleanest moves |
| GBP/USD | Good trends |
| Avoid exotics | Too volatile |
