Trading Risk Management
Position sizing, stop-losses, and portfolio-level exposure controls -- the discipline that determines whether a trading approach survives.

INTERMEDIATEWhy risk management comes before strategy
It is possible to have a genuinely positive-expectancy trading approach and still lose money -- if position sizes are too large relative to account size, a normal losing streak can cause irrecoverable damage before the approach's long-run edge has a chance to play out. Risk management is what keeps you in the game long enough for a real edge to matter.
This is why professional systems, including Crypto Radar's own DEMO execution engine, enforce hard, independent limits -- maximum notional per order, maximum simultaneous positions, maximum aggregate exposure -- that apply regardless of how confident any individual signal appears.
