Drawdown means the reduction in your trading capital from peak to lowest point.
Example: You start with ₹10,000 Grow to ₹15,000 Then fall to ₹12,000
Drawdown = ₹3,000 (20%)
Professional traders always control drawdown below 10–15%.
Always define daily loss limit.
Example: Capital = ₹10,000 Daily loss limit = 2% = ₹200
If you lose ₹200 → STOP trading for the day.
This protects you from emotional damage.
Per trade risk is different from total exposure.
Example: Trade 1 → ₹100 risk Trade 2 → ₹100 risk Trade 3 → ₹100 risk
Total exposure = ₹300
So always control total risk.
Risk management helps you grow capital slowly.
Example: Day 1 → ₹10,000 Day 30 → ₹12,000 Day 60 → ₹15,000
Small consistent gains create big wealth.
Market conditions change:
Professional traders adjust risk dynamically.
Types of stop loss:
Example: Buy at ₹100 Price goes to ₹110 Move stop loss from ₹95 → ₹105
Now trade is risk-free.
Rule:
Never try to double money quickly.
Pros think like this:
Trader A: Risk = 10% per trade 5 losses → Account almost gone
Trader B: Risk = 1% 5 losses → Still strong
This is why risk management decides success.
In trading, survival = success.
ड्रॉडाउन का मतलब है आपके अकाउंट में गिरावट।
Example: ₹10,000 → ₹15,000 → ₹12,000 Loss = ₹3,000
इसे कंट्रोल करना बहुत जरूरी है।
हर दिन का loss fix करो।
₹10,000 capital ₹200 loss → stop trading
एक साथ ज्यादा ट्रेड मत खोलो।
3 ट्रेड = 3x risk
छोटा profit धीरे-धीरे बड़ा बनता है।
Trending → ज्यादा Sideways → कम Volatile → सावधानी
Profit बढ़ने पर stop loss ऊपर लाओ।
पहले पैसा बचाओ फिर बढ़ाओ।
Trader A → high risk → account खत्म Trader B → low risk → safe
ट्रेडिंग में सबसे बड़ी जीत है – टिके रहना।
