Multiple positions are one book

लॉन्ग EURUSD and शॉर्ट USDJPY may feel like two trades. They are functionally one bet on the dollar. Correlation collapses your effective diversification when आप most need it.

Exposure budgeting

Set a maximum portfolio risk (e.g. 3% of equity at any time). Allocate within that budget by correlation cluster — currencies, सूचकांक, metals — so a regime shift doesn't take down all your positions at once.
