# Short 7 - V1

[00:00] if you have a portfolio and that portfolio is $2,000, you shouldn't be risking any more than $200 on any single trade.
[00:08] If you have $5,000, you shouldn't be risking any more than $500 on any single 10%, right?
[00:17] If you have a $100,000, you shouldn't be spending any or risking any more than $10,000 on any single trade.
[00:24] And if you have a million dollars, you shouldn't be risking any more than $100,000 in any single trade.
[00:30] I risk 0.001% of my portfolio and it's probably less than that in a single trade.
