A $50 loss and a $500 loss can mean the exact same thing to your account. In Lesson 9 we introduce the R-multiple — how professional traders measure every trade against what they actually risked, why that beats tracking dollars or percent, and how a strategy that wins less than half the time can still be clearly profitable.

Welcome to Lesson 9! A few quick notes:
— If you haven't seen Lesson 8 yet, watch that first — portfolio risk and the R-multiple work together once you start journaling your trades.
— The key idea here: measure every trade in R, not dollars. A strategy with a low win rate can still be very profitable if winners are sized far above what losers cost.
— This is education, not financial advice — nothing here is a signal to copy.
