What is Risk Management in Trading?

Risk management involves identifying, analyzing, and accepting or mitigating the uncertainty in trading decisions. It dictates how much capital you risk on a single trade, where you place your stop-loss, and how you manage an open position.

Why It Matters

Without risk management, a single losing streak can wipe out your entire trading account. With proper risk management, you can be wrong on 50% of your trades and still be highly profitable over the long term.
