These risks can stem from a variety of sources including financial uncertainties, legal liabilities, technology issues, strategic management errors, accidents, and natural disasters. Here's a simplified overview of how risk management works:
1. Identification of Risks
Internal Risks: These are the risks from within the organization, such as operational inefficiencies, employee misconduct, or technological failures.
External Risks: These include market fluctuations, regulatory changes, natural disasters, and other environmental and economic conditions outside the control of the organization.
2. Assessment of Risks
Qualitative Assessment: Involves judgment to interpret the potential severity of the risk and the likelihood of it occurring.
Risk management in trading is crucial for sustaining long-term profitability and capital preservation. It involves strategies to minimize potential losses without significantly diminishing the potential gains. Here’s a quick rundown of key components:
Set Risk Limits: Define the maximum amount of capital you are willing to risk per trade. A common rule is to risk no more than 1-2% of your total trading capital on a single trade.
Stop-Loss Orders: Use stop-loss orders to automatically close a position at a predetermined price level to limit potential losses. This helps enforce your risk limits without requiring you to monitor positions constantly.
Position Sizing: Calculate the size of your position based on your predetermined risk per trade and the distance of the stop-loss from your entry point. This ensures that if the stop-loss is triggered, the loss will not exceed your risk tolerance.
Diversification: Spread your investment across various assets to reduce risk. Avoid concentrating too much capital in a single market or instrument.
