Many new traders focus only on making money and completely ignore risk management. Yet, the traders who last for decades are the ones who protect their capital first. Here is how you can build a professional approach to risk.
Never Trade Without a Stop-Loss
A stop-loss automatically closes your trade when it goes against you, limiting your loss to a predefined amount. Decide your stop before entering the trade, not after.
Use Proper Position Sizing
Position sizing determines how many shares or lots you buy. A simple rule is to risk no more than 1-2% of your account per trade. If your account is Rs. 1,00,000, a 1% risk means you can afford to lose Rs. 1,000 on any single trade.
Diversify Your Portfolio
Do not put all your money into one stock or sector. Spreading your trades across different industries reduces the impact of any single bad decision.
Keep Your Emotions in Check
Fear and greed are the biggest enemies of a trader. A written trading plan removes guesswork and helps you execute decisions calmly, even in volatile markets.
