- 4. Introduction
• There are two risks to any position in your portfolio
• Company Specific: This can be minimized by diversification
and using Stops on positions.
• Market Risk: This can be eliminated by hedging.
• Most basic form of risk management involves having a consistent
trading strategy that is used to determine the following,
• Entry levels: Price where a trade should be entered
• Stop Loss levels: Price to exit a trade if it goes against you.
Generally set at a point where the technical setup used to
justify the trade is no longer valid.
• Profit taking (Limit) levels: Price used to book profits on a trade.

- 5. Trading Realities
• It is impossible for a trader to be correct 100% of the time.
• Most traders fail not because of incorrect analysis but because of
poor risk management
• Common mistakes made by non-profitable traders,
• Cutting winning trades early.
• Keeping losing trades.
• Try to exit every trade for a profit.
• More focused on number of winning trades rather than the
amount of profit in each winning trade.
• Entering trades without a defined entry, stop or limit, i.e. no
defined trading strategy.

- 7. Risk Management Basics
• Trading is a business. You should look to be consistently profitable over
the long term instead of risking a lot on individual trades.
• Limit risks on individual trades, ideally to 2%-5% of your trading capital.
• Try to maintain a 1:2 of higher risk to reward ratio on your trades.
• Adapt your strategy to fit the market conditions.
• Have a defined trade plan before you enter a trade. Your trade plan
should give you specific entry prices, stops and limits.
• Have a defined timeframe for your trades, i.e. a time based stop in
addition to a price stop.
• Try to increase the reward on individual trades instead of focusing on
making every trade profitable.
