Protecting Your Portfolio is More Important Than Growing It
Every trader dreams of profits, but the truth is — without protecting your capital, profits mean nothing.
Your portfolio is your lifeline in trading. If you lose it, the game is over.
Here’s what smart traders do to protect their capital:
1. Risk small per trade – Never risk more than 1–2% of your account.
2. Diversify wisely – Don’t put all your money into one asset or trade.
3. Use stop-loss strictly – Hope is not a strategy, protection is.
4. Avoid emotional trading – Impulsive moves drain portfolios fast.
5. Preserve cash – Sometimes staying out keeps your capital safer than entering.
🔑 Golden Rule: “First, protect what you have. Then, grow it slowly.”
Profits will come and go, but if your capital survives — you always get another chance to win.
