Lesson 1: Risk vs Reward Concept
Risk is what you can lose. Reward is what you can gain. Professionals always plan both.
RR Meaning
- RR = Reward ÷ Risk
- Example: Risk 10 points, Reward 30 points → RR = 3:1
- Higher RR reduces dependency on win rate
Lesson 2: Position Sizing Method
Position sizing decides your survival. It is the difference between a trader and a gambler.
Basic Formula
- Risk Amount = Capital × Risk %
- Quantity = Risk Amount ÷ Stoploss Distance
- This keeps loss fixed even if price changes
Lesson 3: Stoploss Placement Logic
Stoploss should be placed based on market structure, not emotions.
Stoploss Placement Rules
- Below swing low for long trades
- Above swing high for short trades
- Below support / above resistance zones
- Below trendline / EMA support for trend trades
Lesson 4: Risk Per Trade Rule
Professional traders survive because they risk small. Losing trades don’t destroy them.
Professional Risk Rule
- Risk 0.5% to 2% per trade
- Beginners should stay at 1%
- Never increase risk after loss (revenge trading trap)
Lesson 5: Compounding Concept
Compounding works only if you protect capital and avoid big drawdowns.
Compounding Truth
- Small consistent returns beat big random returns
- Compounding fails if you take heavy losses
- Survival = first priority
Lesson 6: Risk Management in Options
Options are leveraged. Risk multiplies faster than equity. Strict rules are mandatory.
Options Risk Rules
- Never average losing option positions
- Expiry week requires smaller position size
- Stoploss should be based on premium + spot structure
- Use limited loss strategies if unsure
Lesson 7: Drawdown Recovery Model
Drawdowns are normal. But recovery is harder than traders think.
Drawdown Reality
- 10% drawdown needs 11% recovery
- 20% drawdown needs 25% recovery
- 50% drawdown needs 100% recovery
Lesson 8: Professional Risk System
Professionals follow a fixed risk system. This system is their true edge.
