Risk Management

Risk Management: The Edge Behind Every Trade

Risk is the real edge. Kimatix Trading’s playbook turns uncertainty into rules you can execute. Define risk in R (0.5–1% per trade) so results are comparable. Size positions by math: account risk divided by stop distance and value per point. Place stops where the idea is invalid, not at round numbers. Install circuit breakers: a 2–3R daily max loss and a weekly downshift if you hit –5R or two red days. Never add to losers; scale only after locking +1R. Favor asymmetric payoffs (≥2R) and skip trades that don’t offer them. Track R per trade/day, MAE/MFE, and any rule breaks. Before every entry, run a 30-second checklist: stop, risk, size, target, daily limit, scaling plan, journal. Stay disciplined and consistent.
