Risk Management
Identifying and managing the relationship between risk vs control of an outcome.
Risk management is a concept in investing that's focused on managing losses and profits, creating a risk/reward ratio. This ratio helps prevent traders from losing all their money. All traders must understand and apply risk management whenever dealing with any trade regardless of the type of market.
There are different ways to assess risk when trading. There are even specific risk management techniques that any trader can use to maximize returns with minimal risk.
It's important to plan every trade with a risk management strategy because it will reduce trade execution time and lead to more consistent profit. At ScaleTrade we offer our users several options for using risk management.
