Risk Management

Essential principles and tools for protecting your trading capital

Core Risk Principles

Position Sizing

Never risk more than 2-3% of your capital on a single trade

  • Calculate position size based on account balance
  • Use stop-loss to limit maximum loss per trade
  • Adjust position size based on strategy risk profile

Stop Loss Management

Always define your exit strategy before entering a trade

  • Set stop-loss at technical support/resistance levels
  • Use trailing stops for profitable positions
  • Never move stop-loss against your position

Risk-Reward Ratio

Maintain minimum 1:2 risk-reward ratio for all trades

  • Target profits should be at least 2x your risk
  • Calculate R:R before entering any position
  • Skip trades with unfavorable risk-reward ratios

Diversification

Don't put all eggs in one basket - spread your risk

  • Trade different sectors and instruments
  • Avoid correlation between positions
  • Limit exposure to single stock/sector
