Once आप trade more than one position, आप're running a portfolio — and your real risk is the total, not each trade alone. Thinking in portfolio शर्तें is what separates an operator from a gambler.

कुल exposure, not single trades

Three 1% trades in correlated USD pairs can be a 3% bet on one theme. Budget risk at the portfolio स्तर: cap total खोलें risk (e.g. no more than 3–5% at once) regardless of how many positions look individually small.

Correlation and theme risk

Group positions by what actually drives them — dollar direction, risk-on/off, a single commodity. Two 'different' trades driven by the same theme are one larger bet. Diversification only helps if the drivers are genuinely independent.

A simple exposure budget

Set rules: maximum risk per trade, maximum total खोलें risk, and maximum risk per theme. कब a new setup would breach the budget, आप skip it or close something first. The budget, not enthusiasm, decides how much आप can hold.

Key takeaways

  • Your real risk is total portfolio exposure, not each trade in isolation.
  • Correlated trades on one theme are a single larger bet — group by driver.
  • Cap risk per trade, total खोलें risk, and risk per theme with a written budget.
