Risk Guide

Your $10k Crypto Fund Trader account gives you $400 daily loss room and $600 total drawdown space before breach. At 1% risk per trade ($100), you can take 4 consecutive losses before hitting the daily limit. At 2% risk ($200), just 2 losses will breach you. The danger zone starts when you're down $200+ for the day - one more 2% loss trade and you're done. For position sizing math: On EURUSD with a 30-pip stop, each pip on 1 standard lot equals $10, so 30 pips = $300 risk. That's 3% of your account - manageable but aggressive. To risk exactly 1% ($100), you'd trade 0.33 lots. On USDJPY with a 25-pip stop (roughly $23 per pip per lot), 1 lot risks $575 - way over your daily limit. You'd need 0.17 lots to risk 1%. Crypto pairs demand extra caution due to volatility. Bitcoin might move 200-500 points in hours. If you're trading BTCUSD where each point equals $1 per 0.01 lot, a 100-point stop on 1 full lot risks $10,000 - your entire account. Start with micro positions: 0.01 lots risk $100 on a 100-point stop. This is a single-phase challenge, so the rules stay constant throughout. No minimum trading days means you could hit the $1,000 profit target in one day if you're skilled and lucky, but most traders need 2-4 weeks of consistent 1-2% daily gains. The key insight: your $600 max drawdown is only 1.5x your daily limit, so any day you lose close to $400, you're operating with almost no margin for error the next day. Conservative position sizing isn't just smart - it's survival.
