New to the forum, quick question on risk sizing for newer traders

asked by u/hidayat_carlo · 7d · 1 answers

Hey everyone, just joined. Been trading simulated for a bit and now dipping my toes into live, small size. I'm struggling a bit with risk sizing, especially on setups I feel strongly about versus those that are more speculative. For those who started out relatively recently, how did you practically implement your risk management strategy without getting overly aggressive on every trade, or conversely, too timid to capture moves?

    Welcome! It's a classic trap, isn't it? Feeling strongly about a trade usually means you'll ignore all the warning signs, which is precisely when you should be sticking to your guns on risk. Maybe start by pre-defining your max risk per trade, no matter how shiny the setup looks?
