Frequently asked questions
- What risk per trade is common?
- Many active traders use 0.5% to 2% of trading capital per position. That is a choice, not a rule.
- What is the R-multiple?
- How many times your risk the target returns. At 3R you make three times what you risk if the target is hit.
- Does this apply to long-term investing?
- Partly. For buy-and-hold, diversification and contribution rhythm matter more; use the DCA and projection tools.
