Knowing loss streaks helps traders manage risks, Steve Burns notes
Traders must track loss cycles

Steve Burns, founder at New Trader University, highlights the importance of understanding how many consecutive losses can occur during a set of 100 trades to avoid the risk of ruin.

Burns emphasizes that being prepared for potential loss streaks is essential for sound risk management strategies.

Burns has previously stated that capturing profits in half of all trades with a 1-to-2 risk reward ratio outperforms most traders. He also cited disclosures showing U.S. President Donald Trump executed over 21,000 stock trades in 2025. These observations add context to his risk management approach.
