This dead-simple method will help you to protect your capital (so you never face devastating losses again).
I call it the William Eckhardt Risk Management System – here’s how it works:
Psychological Risk Management
– Recognize and manage the psychological aspects of risk-taking.
– Train yourself to maintain objectivity in risk evaluation and decision-making.
– Develop strategies to cope with the psychological stress of high-risk trading situations.
Dynamic Stop-Loss Orders
– Implement dynamic stop-loss orders based on market volatility.
– Adjust stop-loss settings in real-time to respond to market fluctuations.
– Evaluate the effectiveness of stop-loss strategies periodically and adjust methodologies as necessary.
Exposure Limits
– Set clear exposure limits to avoid large drawdowns in adverse market conditions.
– Monitor total exposure regularly & adjust based on market volatility & correlation.
– Implement safeguards to automatically reduce exposure when set thresholds are exceeded.
Diversification Tactics
– Apply diversification not just across assets but also strategies.
– Consider temporal diversification to spread trades over different time horizons.
– Regularly review and adjust the diversification strategy to optimize your risk distribution.
Risk vs. Reward Optimization
– Prioritize trades with optimal risk-reward ratios.
– Use historical data and predictive analytics to assess potential trade outcomes.
– Ensure that risk-reward calculations are integral to the trade selection process.
