Why good traders still blow accounts
Risk per trade picked "by feel," not calculated
Most traders never run the actual math on their own risk of ruin. The fix: a real probability number, based on your actual win rate and payoff ratio — not a guess.
A losing streak feels like the strategy failed
Losing streaks are a statistically normal part of any strategy with a win rate below 100% — the question is whether your sizing survives one. The fix: know your capital units to the limit before it happens, not after.
Same edge, wildly different outcomes
Two traders with an identical winning strategy can have completely different risk of ruin — purely from how much they risk per trade. The fix: see exactly how much your own risk % is costing you.
Prop firm drawdown limits make this worse
A funded evaluation adds a hard limit on top of your own risk — most traders never calculate the odds of breaching it. The fix: a separate, specific number for "risk of hitting your drawdown limit," not just total ruin.

Same win rate. Same payoff ratio. Same edge. Only risk per trade changes below — and it changes the outcome by more than 10x.
