The 1% rule is the whole edge
Ask a new trader what their edge is and they’ll describe a setup. Ask someone who has survived fifteen years and they’ll describe their sizing.
Risking 1% per trade means a ten-trade losing streak — which will happen — costs under 10% of the account. Survivable. Boring. That’s the point.
The market pays you for discipline over long horizons and punishes conviction over short ones.
