Size is what kills accounts
Run the simulation on one edge: 45% win rate, two-to-one reward. At 2% risk per trade the chance of halving the account is near zero. At 10% it is over 90%.
Same strategy, same win rate. Only the size differs.
This is why how much matters more than any question about entries, indicators or timeframes.
Run it on your own numbers
2,000 simulated paths on your own win rate and reward-to-risk. On the same edge, risking 2% per trade gives a near-zero chance of a halving drawdown; risking 10% gives over 90%.
