Understand potential loss first
Market prices can change quickly. Understand leverage and notional exposure, consider affordable losses and assess the impact on total funds.
Position size and correlation
Multiple positions can respond to the same factor. Different holdings do not necessarily diversify risk; consider shared market drivers.
Stop losses have limits
A stop loss sets an exit condition, but rapid moves or gaps can lead to execution at another price. Understand execution and close-out rules.
