## Risk Management Frameworks
### The 1% Rule (Recommended for Most Traders)
**Never risk more than 1% of account on single trade**
**Example:**
- Account size: $50,000
- Maximum risk per trade: $500 (1%)
- Stock entry: $100
- Stop-loss: $98
- Risk per share: $2
- Position size: $500 / $2 = 250 shares
- Total position: $25,000 (50% of account)
- Actual risk: $500 (1% of account)
**Benefits:**
- Can survive 20+ consecutive losses
- Removes emotion from sizing
- Consistent risk across trades
- Protects capital
### The 2R Minimum Rule
**Only take trades with 2:1 reward-to-risk or better**
**Example:**
- Entry: $100
- Stop: $98 (risk = $2)
- Target: $104 (reward = $4)
- R:R = 2:1 ✅
**Why it matters:**
- Can be profitable with 40% win rate
- Forces selective trading
- Improves overall edge
### Maximum Drawdown Limit
**Hard stop trading if down X% from peak**
**Recommendations:**
- Conservative: 10% drawdown → stop trading
- Moderate: 15% drawdown → stop trading
- Aggressive: 20% drawdown → stop trading
**When hit:**
1. Stop trading immediately
2. Review all trades
3. Identify mistakes
4. Paper trade until recovered mentally
5. Resume with reduced size

## Position Sizing Formulas
### Fixed Dollar Risk
```
Position Size = Account Risk $ / (Entry - Stop)
Example:
- Account: $50,000
- Risk per trade: $500 (1%)
- Entry: $100
- Stop: $97
- Risk per share: $3
- Shares: $500 / $3 = 166 shares
```
### Fixed Percentage Risk
```
Position Size = (Account × Risk %) / (Entry - Stop)
Example:
- Account: $50,000
- Risk: 1%
- Entry: $50
- Stop: $48
- Risk per share: $2
- Shares: ($50,000 × 0.01) / $2 = 250 shares
```
### Kelly Criterion (Advanced)
```
Position Size % = (Win Rate × Avg Win - Loss Rate × Avg Loss) / Avg Win
Example:
- Win rate: 55%
- Avg win: $500
- Loss rate: 45%
- Avg loss: $300
- Kelly: (0.55 × $500 - 0.45 × $300) / $500 = 28%
- Use 1/4 Kelly = 7% position size (conservative)
```
**Warning:** Kelly can be aggressive, use fractional Kelly

# Risk Management for Traders
The single most important factor determining trading success.
---
## Why Risk Management Matters
**The brutal truth:**
- 90% of traders lose money
- Most blow up their accounts
- #1 reason: Poor risk management
**What separates winners from losers:**
- NOT better analysis
- NOT better indicators
- NOT market prediction
- **Risk management and discipline**
**Your job as a trader:**
- Protect capital FIRST
- Make money SECOND
---
## The 1% Rule
**Never risk more than 1% of account on single trade**
### Why 1%?
**Survival math:**
- 10 losses in a row = -10% drawdown
- 20 losses in a row = -20% drawdown
- Still in the game
**Compare to 5% risk:**
- 10 losses in a row = -50% drawdown
- Need 100% return just to break even
- Likely game over
### How to Calculate
```
Risk Amount = Account Size × 0.01
Example:
$50,000 account × 1% = $500 max risk per trade
```
### Position Sizing with 1% Rule
```
Shares = Risk Amount / (Entry - Stop)
Example:
- Account: $50,000
- Risk: $500 (1%)
- Entry: $100
- Stop: $98
- Risk per share: $2
- Position: $500 / $2 = 250 shares
```
**Key insight:** Position SIZE changes, but RISK stays constant
---
## Daily Loss Limits
**Hard stop when you hit daily loss limit**
### Recommended Limits
| Trader Type | Daily Loss Limit |
|-------------|------------------|
| Conservative | -1% |
| Moderate | -2% |
| Aggressive | -3% |
### Why Daily Limits Matter
**Prevents:**
- Revenge trading
- Emotional spirals
- Blowup days
- Tilt-induced disasters
**Example:**
- $50,000 account
- 2% daily limit = -$1,000
- Hit limit → DONE for the day
- No exceptions
### What to Do When Hit
1. Close ALL positions
2. Step away from computer
3. Physical activity (walk/exercise)
4. Review trades later (not now)
5. Resume next day with clear head
**Remember:** There's always tomorrow
---
## Maximum Drawdown
**Stop trading at X% drawdown from peak**
### Recommended Limits
- Conservative: 10%
- Moderate: 15%
- Aggressive: 20%
### When Hit
1. **STOP trading immediately**
2. Take minimum 1 week break
3. Full trade review
4. Identify systematic issues
5. Paper trade only
6. Return with reduced size
### Why This Matters
**Psychology of drawdown:**
- -10% requires +11% to recover
- -20% requires +25% to recover
- -50% requires +100% to recover
**Each % down becomes harder to recover**
---
## Risk:Reward Ratios
**Only take trades with favorable R:R**
### Minimum Standards
**Conservative:** 3:1
**Moderate:** 2:1
**Aggressive:** 1.5:1
### The Math
With 2:1 R:R, you can be profitable at 40% win rate:
```
10 trades:
- 4 wins × 2R = +8R
- 6 losses × 1R = -6R
- Net: +2R profit
```
### How to Calculate
```
R = Risk (Entry - Stop)
Reward = Target - Entry
R:R = Reward / Risk
Example:
- Entry: $100
- Stop: $98 (Risk = $2)
- Target: $106 (Reward = $6)
- R:R = $6 / $2 = 3:1 ✓
```
**Rule:** If R:R < your minimum → SKIP THE TRADE
---
## Position Sizing Methods
### 1. Fixed Dollar Risk (Recommended)
**Same dollar risk every trade**
```
Shares = Risk $ / (Entry - Stop)
```
**Pros:**
- Simple and consistent
- Easy to track
- Protects capital
**Cons:**
- Doesn't scale with wins/losses
---
### 2. Fixed Percentage Risk
**Same % risk every trade**
```
Shares = (Account × Risk %) / (Entry - Stop)
```
**Pros:**
- Scales with account
- Compounds wins
- Simple
**Cons:**
- Also compounds losses
---
### 3. Volatility-Based (ATR)
**Position size based on volatility**
```
Risk $ / (ATR × Multiplier)
```
**Pros:**
- Adapts to market conditions
- Prevents whipsaw
**Cons:**
- More complex
- Requires calculation
---
### 4. Kelly Criterion (Advanced)
**Optimal position sizing based on edge**
```
Kelly % = (Win Rate × Avg Win - Loss Rate × Avg Loss) / Avg Win
```
**WARNING:**
- Can be very aggressive
- Use fractional Kelly (1/4 or 1/2)
- Only for experienced traders
- Requires accurate statistics
---
## Stop-Loss Strategies
### Never Trade Without Stops
**Why stops are mandatory:**
- Limits losses
- Removes emotion
- Protects from disasters
- Enables risk calculation
**No exceptions. Ever.**
### Stop-Loss Methods
**1. Fixed Percentage**
- X% below entry
- Simple and clear
- Example: 2% below entry
**2. Technical Level**
- Below support
- Below swing low
- Makes logical sense
**3. ATR-Based**
- 1.5-2× Average True Range
- Adapts to volatility
- Prevents whipsaw
**4. Time Stop**
- Exit if no progress in X days
- Frees capital
- Cuts losers
### Stop-Loss Rules
**✓ DO:**
- Set stop BEFORE entry
- Use actual stop orders (not mental)
- Place stops at logical levels
- Honor stops always
**✗ NEVER:**
- Move stop further from entry
- Remove stop "just this once"
- Use mental stops
- Hope price comes back
---
## Position Concentration
**Don't put all eggs in one basket**
### Maximum Position Limits
**Single position:**
- Conservative: 10% of account
- Moderate: 20% of account
- Aggressive: 30% of account
**Sector exposure:**
- Maximum 30-40% in single sector
- Diversify across sectors
- Correlation matters
**Total exposure:**
- Day trading: 100% (close daily)
- Swing trading: 60-80%
- Position trading: Varies
### Why Concentration Matters
**Example:**
- 50% in one position
- Stock drops 20%
- Account drops 10%
- Hard to recover
**Better:**
- 10% in one position
- Stock drops 20%
- Account drops 2%
- Manageable
---
## Correlation Risk
**Avoid correlated positions**
### Understanding Correlation
**High correlation example:**
- Long tech stock A
- Long tech stock B
- Both move together
- Double exposure to tech risk
**Better diversification:**
- Different sectors
- Different market caps
- Different strategies
- True diversification
---
## Leverage and Margin
**Leverage amplifies BOTH gains and losses**
### Margin Risk
**2:1 Margin:**
- 50% loss = margin call
- Forced liquidation
- Game over
**Recommended:**
- Use margin sparingly
- Never max out margin
- Maintain buffer
- Understand margin requirements
### Options Leverage
**Options can expire worthless**
- 100% loss possible
- Time decay (theta)
- Volatility risk (vega)
- Requires different risk management
**Options risk limit:**
- Max 5-10% of account in options
- Treat each option as high risk
- Never bet the farm
---
## Risk Management Checklist
**Before EVERY trade:**
- [ ] Position size calculated
- [ ] Risk ≤ 1% (or your limit)
- [ ] Stop-loss identified
- [ ] R:R ≥ 2:1 (or your minimum)
- [ ] Within daily loss limit
- [ ] Not overexposed to sector
- [ ] Account for correlation
- [ ] Emotionally prepared to take loss
**If ANY unchecked → DON'T TAKE TRADE**
---
## Account Preservation
**Capital preservation rules:**
1. **Never go all-in**
- Keep reserves
- Opportunities come again
2. **Accept losses quickly**
- Small losses are OK
- Don't let small become big
3. **Don't average down**
- Adding to losers doubles risk
- Compounds mistakes
4. **Take breaks after losses**
- Prevent revenge trading
- Clear your head
5. **Reduce size in drawdown**
- Trade smaller when losing
- Build confidence back
---
## Common Risk Management Mistakes
### ❌ Fatal Errors
**1. No stop-loss**
Result: One trade wipes account
**2. Risk too much per trade**
Result: Few losses = blown account
**3. Moving stops**
Result: Invalidates risk management
**4. Revenge trading**
Result: Emotional decisions, bigger losses
**5. Averaging down**
Result: Doubling down on mistakes
**6. Over-leveraging**
Result: Margin call, forced exit
**7. Ignoring correlation**
Result: Concentrated risk in disguise
### ✓ Best Practices
**1. Consistent position sizing**
Same risk every trade
**2. Hard daily loss limits**
Stop when hit, no exceptions
**3. Honest stop placement**
Logical levels, not wishes
**4. R:R minimum**
Quality over quantity
**5. Diversification**
Don't concentrate risk
**6. Regular reviews**
Track and improve
---
## Risk vs Reward Balance
**High Probability vs High R:R**
### High Win Rate (60-70%)
- Smaller R:R (1.5:1)
- More trades
- Steady equity curve
- Example: Mean reversion
### High R:R (3:1+)
- Lower win rate (30-40%)
- Fewer trades
- Volatile equity curve
- Example: Trend following
**Both can be profitable if managed correctly**
---
## Position Sizing Examples
### Example 1: Moderate Risk
```
Account: $50,000
Risk per trade: 1% = $500
Entry: $50
Stop: $48
Risk per share: $2
Position: $500 / $2 = 250 shares
Position value: $12,500 (25% of account)
Actual risk: $500 (1% of account)
```
### Example 2: Tight Stop
```
Account: $50,000
Risk per trade: 1% = $500
Entry: $100
Stop: $99
Risk per share: $1
Position: $500 / $1 = 500 shares
Position value: $50,000 (100% of account)
Actual risk: $500 (1% of account)
```
**Key:** Position SIZE varies, but RISK stays constant
---
## Emergency Procedures
### When Things Go Wrong
**Circuit breaker triggered:**
1. Stop trading immediately
2. Close positions if possible
3. Assess damage
4. Don't panic trade
**Flash crash:**
1. Don't chase
2. Check your stops
3. Wait for stability
4. Review risk exposure
**Account down big:**
1. STOP trading
2. Take mandatory break
3. Full review
4. Return with smaller size

- [ ] Position size calculated?
- [ ] Stop-loss identified?
- [ ] Within daily risk limit?
- [ ] Calm and focused?

---
## Emotional State Management

- [ ] Hydrated and fed?
- [ ] Calm and centered?
- [ ] No major life stress?
- [ ] Ready to accept losses?
- [ ] Following plan today?
**If feeling off → Reduce size or skip day**
### Recognizing Tilt

- Anger at market
- Rushing into trades

---
## Mindset Shifts
### From Outcome to Process
**Wrong focus:**
- "I need to make $X today"
- "I need to win this trade"
- "I can't afford to lose"
**Right focus:**
- "Did I follow my plan?"
- "Was my risk management correct?"
- "What can I learn?"
### From Prediction to Probabilities
**Wrong thinking:**
- "This trade WILL work"
- "I know what market will do"
- "I can't be wrong"
**Right thinking:**
- "This has good probability"
- "I don't know, but R:R is good"
- "I can be wrong and still profitable"
### From Money to Process
**Wrong focus:**
- Daily P&L
- "How much did I make?"
- Comparing to others
**Right focus:**
- Plan compliance
- "Did I execute well?"
- Personal improvement
---
## Handling Losses
### Accept Losses as Business Cost
**Truth:**
- Losses are inevitable
- Even 70% win rate = 30% losses
- Losses are data, not failure
- Cost of doing business
**Mindset:**
- "This is expected"
- "I planned for this"
- "On to next trade"
- No emotion
### Learn from Every Loss
**After each loss ask:**
- Did I follow my plan?
- Was setup valid?
- Was risk management correct?
- What can I improve?
**Categories of losses:**
1. **Good loss:** Followed plan, just didn't work
2. **Bad loss:** Broke rules
3. **Learning loss:** New insight gained
**Good losses are OK. Learn from bad ones.**
---

## ⚠️ CRITICAL DISCLAIMER
This trading plan is a personal framework for managing trading decisions. It does NOT constitute financial advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. Only trade with capital you can afford to lose.
---
## 1. Trading Goals & Philosophy
### Financial Goals
- **Account Size:** \$${ACCOUNT_SIZE}
- **Monthly Target:** ${MONTHLY_TARGET:-TBD}%
- **Focus:** Consistent execution over returns
### Time Commitment
- **Daily Time:** ${TIME_COMMIT:-TBD} hours
- **Trading Style:** ${TRADING_STYLE}
- **Market Hours:** [Specify your trading hours]
### Trading Philosophy
[Write your personal trading philosophy - what you believe about markets, why you trade this way, your edge]
**Example:**
"I believe markets trend, and I have an edge in identifying early-stage trends with technical analysis. My success comes from discipline, not prediction. I focus on process over profits."
---
## 2. Risk Management (MOST IMPORTANT)
### Position Sizing Rules
**Risk Per Trade: ${RISK_PER_TRADE}%**
- Maximum risk per position: \$${DOLLAR_RISK}
- NEVER exceed this amount on a single trade
- Calculate position size BEFORE entering
**Position Size Formula:**
\`\`\`
Shares = Risk Amount / (Entry Price - Stop Price)
= \$${DOLLAR_RISK} / (Entry - Stop)
\`\`\`
**Example:**
- Entry: \$100
- Stop: \$98
- Risk per share: \$2
- Position: \$${DOLLAR_RISK} / \$2 = $(echo "scale=0; $DOLLAR_RISK / 2" | bc) shares
### Daily Loss Limit
**HARD STOP at -${DAILY_LOSS_LIMIT}% daily loss**
- Maximum daily loss: \$$(echo "scale=2; $ACCOUNT_SIZE * $DAILY_LOSS_LIMIT / 100" | bc)
- When hit: STOP TRADING immediately
- Close all positions
- Step away from computer
- Review what went wrong
- Resume next day with clear head
**No exceptions. This rule protects your account.**
### Maximum Drawdown
**Break from trading at -${MAX_DRAWDOWN}% drawdown**
- Stop trading if account drops ${MAX_DRAWDOWN}% from peak
- Take minimum 1 week break
- Paper trade only
- Review all trades
- Identify systematic issues
- Resume only when mentally ready
### Risk:Reward Requirements
**Minimum R:R: ${MIN_RR}**
- Only take trades with ${MIN_RR} or better
- Measure before entry
- If R:R doesn't meet minimum → skip trade
- Quality over quantity
### Stop-Loss Rules
**EVERY trade MUST have a stop-loss**
- **Method:** ${STOP_METHOD}
- Set stop BEFORE entry
- Enter stop order immediately after fill
- NEVER move stop further from entry
- Accept the loss if stopped out
### Position Concentration
**Maximum positions:**
- Day trading: [Specify max concurrent positions]
- Swing trading: [Specify max concurrent positions]
- Maximum sector exposure: [e.g., 30% in any one sector]

## Appendix A: Position Size Calculator
**Quick reference:**
| Entry - Stop | Position Size (for \$${DOLLAR_RISK} risk) |
|--------------|-------------------------------------------|
| \$1 | $(echo "scale=0; $DOLLAR_RISK / 1" | bc) shares |
| \$2 | $(echo "scale=0; $DOLLAR_RISK / 2" | bc) shares |
| \$3 | $(echo "scale=0; $DOLLAR_RISK / 3" | bc) shares |
| \$5 | $(echo "scale=0; $DOLLAR_RISK / 5" | bc) shares |
**Formula:** Shares = \$${DOLLAR_RISK} / (Entry - Stop)
