5 Risk Management Rules Every Trader Must Follow

Why 95% of Traders Fail?

Not because they don't know strategies. Because they break risk rules. Here are 5 rules we enforce in our lab for every student:

1. The 1% Rule

Never risk more than 1% of capital per trade. If you have Rs 1,00,000, max loss per trade is Rs 1000. Even after 10 losses in a row, you still have 90% capital.

2. Daily Stop Loss

Fix max daily loss - say 3% of capital. If you hit it, close laptop. No revenge trading.

3. Position Sizing, Not Prediction

Professionals don't predict, they manage size. Small size in volatile days, bigger size when trend is clear.

4. Always Have a System Stop Loss

Not mental SL. System SL. If you place buy order, SL order should be placed instantly by system.

5. Track Everything

Maintain trading journal: Entry, Exit, Reason, Emotion. Review every weekend.

We give all our students a Notion template + Excel journal to track P&L, mistakes, and emotional score.

At CoderTechPro, we believe No Tips, Only Systems. Build a system, backtest it, then automate it.
