2% RULE
Trading practice in which an investor should focus on trading not greater than 2% of the available capital within a single trade. To follow this rule, an investor must first compute 2% of the available capital known as the capital at risk, which also accounts brokerage fees for buying and selling shares. Then, divide it by the prevailing share price. The result is the total amount of shares which can be obtained. Should the trade result to losing its total value, the downside exposure is limited to only 2% since the original trade’s value was limited to 2% of the total trading capital available.
