🌟Risk Management Techniques for Active Traders 🐋
Risk management is the work of balancing opportunities for gains with the potential of making losses from your investing choices. This work can help reduce potential losses and increase potential gains.
It can also help protect traders' accounts from losing all of their money. The risk of losing money occurs when traders open positions. The larger the positions, the greater the risk, but also the greater opportunity for profit.
Trading can be exciting and even profitable if you are able to stay focused, do due diligence, and keep emotions at bay.
Still, the best traders need to incorporate risk management practices to prevent losses from getting out of control.
Having a strategic and objective approach to cutting losses through stop orders, profit taking, and protective puts is a smart way to stay in the game.
As Chinese military general Sun Tzu's famously said: "Every battle is won before it is fought." This phrase implies that planning and strategy—not the battles—win wars. Similarly, successful traders commonly quote the phrase: "Plan the trade and trade the plan." Just like in war, planning ahead can often mean the difference between success and failure.
✅️ Consider the One-Percent Rule
A lot of day traders follow what's called the one-percent rule. Basically, this rule of thumb suggests that you should never put more than 1% of your capital or your trading account into a single trade. So if you have $10,000 in your trading account, your position in any given instrument shouldn't be more than $100.
✅️ Setting Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Points
A stop-loss point is the price at which a trader will sell a stock and take a loss on the trade. This often happens when a trade does not pan out the way a trader hoped. The points are designed to prevent the "it will come back" mentality and limit losses before they escalate. For example, if a stock breaks below a key support level, traders often sell as soon as possible.
