Risk Management/How to trade
Risk Management in Trading
Risk management is the backbone of every successful trader. In markets like Forex, Futures, and Gold (XAUUSD), where leverage and volatility can be extreme, it’s not the winning trades that define long-term success — it’s how well you protect your capital.
Why It Matters
Protect Your Account – Surviving losing streaks is the first step to profitability.
Stay Consistent – Limiting risk keeps results steady over time.
Control Emotions – Knowing your risk per trade reduces fear and overtrading.
Think Like a Pro – Institutions always manage risk — retail traders must too.
Core Principles of Risk Management
Position Sizing – Never risk more than 1–2% of your account on a single trade.
Stop Loss & Take Profit – Always plan exits before entering a trade.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio – Target at least 1:2 or 1:3 to grow your account sustainably.
Avoid Overleveraging – High leverage can wipe accounts quickly.
Daily Loss Limit – Stop trading after reaching a set loss, protecting you from emotional decisions.
