Mastering Risk Management: The Trader’s Real Edge

You’ve all heard it,

“Cut your losses and let your winners run.”

Simple words — but living by them is what separates survivors from blown accounts.

Here’s some tips on how to approach risk management when trading:

☑️ Risk is always predefined: Before I click Buy or Sell, I know exactly how much I’m willing to lose. If you don’t define risk upfront, the market will do it for you.

☑️ Position sizing: Never risk more than 1–2% of your account per trade. Small losses mean you can keep taking high‑probability setups without fear.

☑️ Always use a stop‑loss: No stop? You’re not trading — you’re gambling.

☑️ Stop‑loss discipline: Place stops where the market proves you wrong — not where it “feels comfortable.” Then leave them alone.

☑️ Focus on risk/reward, not win rate: A 40% win rate can still be profitable if your average reward outweighs your risk.

☑️ Risk/reward ratio: Only take trades with at least a 2:1 or 3:1 potential. You don’t need to win every trade — your winners should pay for your losers (and more).

Remember:

“It’s not about being right all the time. It’s about not losing big when you’re wrong.”

Risk management won’t make your trades perfect — but it will keep you trading tomorrow.
And in this game, staying in the game is everything.
