🛡️ Risk Management
A practical risk-control system for protecting capital before thinking about profit. The goal is simple: survive first, grow second.
1) The Capital Protection Rule
They ask, “How much can I lose if I am wrong?” first. A recovery trade is only acceptable when the possible loss is controlled before entering.
- 1 Define your maximum loss before buying or averaging.
- 2 Decide your stop-loss before entering.
- 3 Calculate position size based on risk, not emotion.
- ! Never average down just because the price looks cheap.
2) Risk Per Trade Guide
Best for beginners, recovery trades, uncertain markets, or when confidence is low. This keeps losses small while you learn.
A common professional benchmark. Risking 1% per trade helps prevent one bad trade from damaging the full account.
Higher risk may grow faster but can also destroy capital faster. Avoid this unless your system is tested and your discipline is strong.
3) Position Size Formula
Position Size = Risk Amount ÷ Stop Distance
| Example | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Account Size | $5,000 | Total available trading capital |
| Risk Per Trade | $25 | 0.5% of account |
| Entry Price | $10.00 | Planned buy price |
| Stop Price | $9.75 | Invalidation level |
| Stop Distance | $0.25 | $10.00 - $9.75 |
| Position Size | 100 shares | $25 ÷ $0.25 |
4) Recovery Trade Risk Levels
- ✓ Price reclaims VWAP.
- ✓ Volume confirms buyers.
- ✓ Stop-loss is nearby.
- ✓ Risk/reward is at least 1:2.
- ✓ Some support is visible.
- ! Volume is mixed.
- ! Stop-loss is wider.
- ! Profit target is less clear.
- ✕ Price is still below VWAP.
- ✕ Large red candles continue.
- ✕ No stop-loss plan exists.
- ✕ You are buying because of fear or hope.
5) Max Daily Loss Rule
If your daily max loss is reached, your job is finished for the day. This protects your account from revenge trading.
- ✓ Beginner: stop after losing 1% of account in a day.
- ✓ Intermediate: stop after 2 planned losses.
- ! Never increase size after a loss to “recover fast.”
- ! Do not trade when emotionally frustrated.
6) Risk/Reward Decision Rule
| Risk/Reward | Meaning | Decision |
|---|---|---|
| 1:1 | You risk $1 to make $1 | Usually weak unless win rate is very high |
| 1:2 | You risk $1 to make $2 | Good minimum target |
| 1:3 | You risk $1 to make $3 | Strong setup if realistic |
| Unclear | No defined stop or target | Avoid trade |
