💎 Module 1 : Know Your Risk DNA

Lesson: Understand yourself before you risk your capital.

Before you open a chart, know who you are as a trader.
Low-risk traders win because they play defense first. They don’t fear risk, they measure it.
Knowing your Risk DNA means understanding how you react under pressure, how much loss you can handle, and how disciplined you are when emotions rise.

“The best traders don’t master markets. They master themselves.”

🎬 The Three Friends and the Same Trade

• Ali risks 10 % on one trade, he’s all in.

• Ben risks 2 %, he’s cautious.

• Chan risks 1 %, he’s methodical.

The trade loses.

Ali blows his account.
Ben survives.
Chan smiles, it was just tuition.

All three had the same setup, but different risk DNA.
Only one lived to trade another day.

🧩 Your Trading Seat Belt

Driving without a seat belt feels free, until a crash.
Low-risk trading is like wearing a seat belt: you might look slow, but you’ll reach the destination safely.
Your seat belt is your risk limit, position size, and stop loss.

💡 Find Your Risk Number

1. Take your total capital (e.g., $10 000).

2. Multiply by 1 % = $100 max loss per trade.

3. Write this number on a sticky note: “My 1 % Rule.”

4. Look at it before every entry.

You’ve just created your Risk DNA Anchor.
