Beginner Explanation
Risk Management is the difference between a professional and a gambler. Signal Compass computes position size from your account, stop distance, and per-trade risk — automatically.
Step-by-Step Walkthrough
- Open the Risk Calculator.
- Set per-trade risk (typically 0.5%–1%).
- Note how ATR distance changes position size.
- Review portfolio-level exposure limits.
- Understand daily drawdown lockout.
Helpful Tips
- Risk per trade should stay constant regardless of confidence.
- Correlated positions increase real risk beyond the per-trade number.
- The daily lockout is your friend, not your enemy.
Common Mistakes
- Sizing up after a winning streak.
- Ignoring correlation between USD-quoted pairs.
- Overriding the daily lockout after a losing day.
Best Practices
- Never risk more than 1% per trade in your first year.
- Review portfolio exposure weekly.
- Take a full day off after hitting the daily lockout.
