Managing Risk in Leveraged Trading

Position sizing, stop-loss orders and planning practices that help you control exposure.

Educational guide · 6 min read

Start with position sizing

Many traders limit the amount they risk on a single trade to a small percentage of their account balance.

Stop-loss and take-profit orders

Stop-loss orders can help close positions at a predefined level, although in fast markets execution may occur at a worse price (slippage).

Keep a trading plan

Write down entry criteria, exit rules and maximum daily loss. Reviewing your trades helps identify behavioural patterns.

Know when not to trade

Avoiding trading during unfamiliar events, or when emotional, is a valid risk-management decision.
