Risk Management
in simple language.

Build a trading routine around capital protection.

Define risk first

Decide how much you can lose before the trade exists. That turns risk from an emotional reaction into a planned input.

Size the position

Position size should reflect the setup risk and capital you are prepared to put at risk, especially when leverage is involved.

Review the process

Track entry, target, stop-loss, size and outcome. Review repeated mistakes instead of judging one trade in isolation.
