Responsible Trading
Trading can be rewarding, but it involves substantial risk. Practicing responsible trading helps preserve capital and reduces the likelihood of severe drawdowns.
Core principles
- Risk only what you can afford to lose: Never trade with rent, loans, or essential funds.
- Use risk management: Position sizing, stop‑loss orders, and diversification can mitigate downside.
- Avoid over‑leverage: Leverage magnifies results and can accelerate losses.
- Have a plan: Define entries, exits, and invalidation points before placing a trade.
- Keep learning: Markets evolve; refine your approach through ongoing education.
If trading affects your wellbeing
If trading causes stress, anxiety, or financial hardship, consider taking a break and seeking professional support. Several organizations can assist with financial counseling and mental health resources.
