Framework
AM1: 0.01 lot per $1,000 of equity. AM2: 0.01 lot per $2,000, half the exposure per dollar.
A $1,000 AM1 account trading at 0.01 lots targets approximately 15% maximum weekly gain with a corresponding 15% maximum weekly risk exposure. If the same account increases exposure to 0.02 lots, both potential gain and potential loss increase proportionally to approximately 30%.
Risk and reward always scale together. Higher lot sizes do not create "better" trading conditions; they amplify volatility and exposure.
AM2 uses 0.01 lot per $2,000 of equity, half of AM1's exposure per dollar. This reflects AM2's much higher trade frequency: more trades at a lighter size, rather than fewer at a heavier one.
AM2's hard limit is its 8% event-based maximum drawdown, not a weekly gain/risk percentage. See the Systems page.
