A gestão de risco transforma negociações aleatórias em um processo de sobrevivência. Antes de seguir qualquer sinal, decida quanto da sua conta você pode perder com uma ideia e cumpra-a. Os stops e o tamanho da posição são mais importantes do que escolher o fornecedor perfeito. Os conceitos abaixo mostram como dimensionar negociações, definir saídas e limitar rebaixamentos para que uma semana ruim não acabe com meses de progresso.
Aviso importante
A negociação envolve um risco significativo de perda. Nunca negocie com dinheiro que você não pode 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.
Melhores Práticas
- 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.
Melhores Práticas
- 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.
