Risk management

The least popular subject in trading and the one that decides outcomes. Every lesson here is arithmetic, which is what makes the rules non-negotiable rather than a matter of style.

Last reviewed by the MarketPro research desk · Editorial policy

A 50% loss needs a 100% gain to recover. Risking 5% per trade with a 50% win rate has a meaningful chance of ruin inside a hundred trades. Neither of those is an opinion, and both change how a position is sized once they are actually internalised.

Run your own numbers alongside these lessons with the position size calculator and the risk of ruin calculator.

FAQ

Risk management: questions

How many risk management lessons are there?
22, and they are all in the MarketPro app. This page lists every one of them. Each lesson takes about 1 minutes to read.
Do I have to pay to read them?
No. The academy is free on every MarketPro account, including free ones, with no lesson cap and no paywall inside the app. On this website the first part of each lesson is open and the rest is in the app, which is where the quizzes and the progress tracking are.
Do I need a broker account to start?
No. The academy, the calculators on this site and the free weekly signals all work without one. A broker account is only needed when you decide to place a real trade, and that decision is yours alone.
