La gestión de riesgos convierte las operaciones aleatorias en un proceso al que se puede sobrevivir. Antes de seguir cualquier señal, decida cuánto de su cuenta puede perder con una idea y manténgala. Las paradas y el tamaño de la posición importan más que elegir al creador perfecto. Los siguientes conceptos muestran cómo dimensionar las operaciones, establecer salidas y limitar las reducciones para que una mala semana no acabe con meses de progreso.
Advertencia importante
El comercio implica un riesgo significativo de pérdida. Nunca opere con dinero que no pueda permitirse perder.
Position Sizing
Determine how much of your capital to risk on each trade.
Do not risk more than one to two percent of your account on one trade. That is a common rule for new traders.
Fórmula
Position Size = (Account Balance × Risk %) ÷ (Entry Price - Stop Loss)With $10,000 account, 1% risk ($100), and a 50-pip stop loss worth $10/pip, your position size would be 1 lot.

Automatically exit losing trades at a predetermined level.
A stop loss closes the trade if price moves against you. It limits how much you can lose on that trade.
Mejores prácticas
- Always set a stop loss before entering a trade
- Place stops at logical levels (support/resistance)
- Never move your stop loss further away from entry
- Consider using trailing stops to lock in profits
Take Profit Levels
Set targets to capture profits before the market reverses.
Take profit closes the trade at your target gain. Many traders aim to gain at least twice what they risk.
Mejores prácticas
- Set realistic profit targets based on market conditions
- Consider scaling out of positions at multiple levels
- Use technical analysis to identify resistance/support for targets
Risk-Reward Ratio
Compare potential profit to potential loss on each trade.
Risk reward compares what you might lose to what you might gain. One to two means you risk one dollar to seek two.
