What a risk management plan should define
A strong plan sets clear rules around capital at risk, per-trade risk, daily limits, and how stop-loss placement affects position size. That keeps decisions from drifting when the market gets emotional.
- Maximum capital at risk
- Per-trade and per-day limits
- Position-sizing logic tied to stop-loss distance
Why most traders need this written down
Many traders think they know their rules until the market becomes stressful. A written plan makes it easier to stay aligned with risk discipline when the temptation to break rules is highest.
- Better consistency under pressure
- Easier post-trade review
- Lower chance of oversized losses
