Don't open a trade… before you know its size.

Many traders focus on analysis:

Where to enter?

Where to set the target?

Where to place the stop loss?

But they leave a crucial question until the last minute:

What is the trade size?

And that's where mistakes begin.

When you decide on the contract size after observing the movement,
the decision is often influenced by emotions:

Overconfidence after a winning streak

Or an attempt to recoup a loss.

A practical rule:

Before entering, always determine:

How much of your capital are you willing to risk on this trade?

For example:

1% of your account
Or less.

Then calculate the contract size based on the distance to the stop loss.

This way, the decision becomes objective…

not emotional.

A smart trader doesn't start by asking:

How much can I win?

Instead, they start by asking:

How much am I prepared to lose?

A practical question: On your last trade… did you determine its size beforehand? Or did you decide it at the moment of entry?
