The risk of losing money due to unfavorable market movements.
Liquidity Risk:
The inability to buy or sell stocks quickly without impacting the price.
Volatility Risk:
Rapid price changes leading to potential losses.
Leverage Risk:
Amplified losses when trading on borrowed funds.
2. The Importance of Risk Management
Effective risk management helps you:
Protect your trading capital.
Avoid emotional decision-making.
Stay consistent in your trading strategy
3. Key Risk Management Strategies
a) Position Sizing
Decide how much of your capital to allocate to a single trade.
Common rule: Risk no more than 1-2% of your total capital on any trade.
b) Use Stop-Loss Orders
A stop-loss order automatically sells your stock when it reaches a predefined price, limiting losses.
c) Diversification
Avoid putting all your money into one stock or sector. Spread your investments across industries or asset classes.
d) Risk-to-Reward Ratio
Ensure the potential reward is at least twice the risk (e.g., a 1:2 ratio).
Example: If risking ₹100, aim to make at least ₹200.
4. Emotional Discipline in Risk Management
Avoid These Common Mistakes:
Overtrading:
Making too many trades in a short period.
Revenge Trading:

Keep a Trading Journal:

8. Building a Risk Management Plan
Components of a Plan:
Risk Tolerance:
Decide the maximum amount of loss you can handle.

Exit Strategy:
Plan exit points for both profit and loss scenarios.
