A great strategy with bad risk management is gambling. A simple strategy with great risk management is a business.
The 2% rule is the cornerstone of professional trading. With 2% per trade, you can survive 50 consecutive losses without blowing up your account. Most pro traders risk 0.5%–1%.
Each contract has a specific tick value. ES = $12.50/tick. NQ = $5/tick. MES = $1.25/tick. Use the right instrument for your account size — micros for small accounts, mini for $25K+.
At GP Trading Club we always set the SL before the entry. The stop loss defines your max loss. Position size is what you adjust — never the stop. Move the SL once, lose discipline forever.
A 1:3 R:R only needs 26% win rate to be profitable. A 1:1 R:R needs 51%. Stop chasing high win rates — chase good R:R setups. The math wins long-term.
