⚖️ Risk Management
First rule of trading money is it should be something you are ready to give up on. Dont bring in your life savings/emergency funds into this.
Trade with what you can afford to lose.
Risk management is what keeps you in the market long enough to become profitable.
Without it, even the best trading strategy will eventually fail.
💡 Rule #1: Protect your capital first — profits come later.
🎯 Why Risk Management Matters
- ✔ Prevents large losses
- ✔ Keeps your account stable
- ✔ Allows long-term growth
🔥 Survival is the first goal in trading.
🛑 Stop Loss
A stop loss automatically closes your trade at a predefined loss level.
It ensures that no single trade can cause major damage.
🚫 Never trade without a stop loss
📊 Risk Per Trade
Professional traders risk only a small percentage of their capital on each trade.
- ✔ Recommended: 1% – 2% per trade
- ✔ Keeps losses manageable
🎯 Small risk = long survival
💰 Position Sizing
Position sizing determines how much you buy or sell based on your risk.
Example:
Account = ₹10,000
Risk per trade = 1% → ₹100
If your stop loss is ₹5 away →
You can take 20 shares (₹100 ÷ ₹5)
⚖️ Risk-Reward Ratio
A good trade should offer more reward than risk.
| Risk |

📊 Real Insight
