Risk Management
Portfolio sizing, daily limits, emotional discipline, and Trade Echo alert playbooks - companion frameworks for protecting capital.
This section is adapted from Darkhorse live session companion materials: portfolio management, sizing, risk frequency, emotional guardrails, and practical ways to use Trade Echo alerts without overtrading or blind copying.
Use it as a workbook: fill in the blanks, print checklists, and align numbers to your account size and risk tolerance. Nothing here is financial advice.

Core ideas (quick)#
- Blow-ups often come from bad sizing, not only bad ideas.
- Position size is not the same as risk - your stop defines how much you can lose.
- Cap trade frequency to protect daily P/L and decision quality.
