And one of the reasons is it speaks to overall portfolio exposure.

I feel like so many times traders will focus.

Well, hopefully they're focusing on risk per trade.

But when you take a step out and you look broader, you're talking about, OK, it's not just the risk per position.

But it's that times the number of positions you have.

So, you know, your maximum drawdown exposure.

And that is so important.

And actually, I have a story about that that really hurt me early on and a learning.

But before I get to that.

If I get to that, I will say my number one rule, define your risk before you get in.

No matter how you're managing your risk today, what those rules look like, just make sure it's defined before you ever enter the trade.

Now, I mentioned individual stock risk or position sizing is the technique we call it.

So what that might look like is, say you have a $10,000 account, and you're willing to risk 2%.

So usually, most of my traders, it's between one and 2% per trade.

So say it's two percent.

So you say, OK, I'm not going to risk more than two hundred dollars per position.

And so you find a stock or a company that you want to trade and say it's trading at fifty dollars.

And you say, I'm going to get out at forty five dollars, you know, ten percent, you know, moves ten percent, forty five dollars.

So five dollars risk per trade.

So you look at that and you say, well, I can risk two hundred dollars.
