Tired of losing your entire portfolio in a single trade? Serious traders swear by the 3-5-7 rule, and there's a reason.
The logic is brutally simple:
3%: Risk a maximum of 3% of your capital per trade ( if you have $10k, max $300 per operation)
5%: Your total exposure in the market CANNOT exceed 5% (in $10k = $500 totals)
7%: Your earnings must be at least 7% larger than your losses.
Why does it work? Because discipline > luck. A bad trade doesn't liquidate you. A good trade compensates for three bad ones. Simple.
Real example: You have $100k. Maximum expose $3k per trade, $5k total in the market. When you win, you do it seriously. When you lose, it's just a scratch.
Sounds boring? It is. But those who use it don’t wake up looking at red wallets. It’s the difference between a trader and a player.
