Risk management is an essential practice for investors and traders to protect capital and achieve long-term goals. Here's a structured overview:

Key Principles

  • Identify Risks: Assess potential threats like market volatility, liquidity constraints, and geopolitical events
  • Quantify Exposure: Use tools like Value at Risk (VaR) and standard deviation to measure risk levels
  • Mitigate Threats: Implement strategies such as hedging, diversification, and stop-loss orders

Practical Strategies

  1. Diversify Portfolio
    Spread investments across assets, sectors, and geographies to reduce concentration risk
