Frequently Asked Questions Why is position sizing more important than a “winning” strategy? You can have a strategy that wins 70% of the time and still go broke if you don’t manage your position size. Proper sizing ensures that no single losing trade can wipe out your account, allowing your “edge” to play out over the long term. What is a “good” Risk-to-Reward ratio? While every strategy is different, most professional traders look for a minimum of 1:2. This means for every $10 you risk, you aim to make $20. This allows you to be wrong more than half the time and still remain profitable. How do I calculate Pip Value for non-major pairs? The Pip Value tool above is optimized for “Majors” (like EURUSD). For JPY pairs or Gold (XAUUSD), the math changes slightly due to decimal placement. Always double-check your broker’s contract specifications inside MetaTrader 5 (MT5). What does “Recovery Multiplier” actually mean? This is the most sobering math in trading. If you lose 50% of your account, you don’t need a 50% gain to get back to zero—you need a 100% gain. Protecting your capital is always easier than winning it back.
