About this course

Many new traders focus solely on finding the perfect entry signal, often ignoring the most critical aspect of long-term success: managing risk. Without a solid plan to protect your capital, even the best market analysis can lead to significant losses. This course shifts your focus from chasing profits to preserving capital. You will learn how to build a comprehensive trading plan from scratch, establish strict risk parameters, and develop the discipline required to trade consistently in any market environment. What you will learn: • Understand foundational trading terminology and the mechanics of risk-to-reward ratios. • Build a personalized trading plan that aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. • Apply position sizing formulas to ensure no single trade jeopardizes your portfolio. • Practice modern trade journaling techniques to track performance and refine your strategy. • Master emotional discipline and trading psychology to avoid revenge trading and fear of missing out. • Configure fundamental risk controls, including stop-loss placement and daily drawdown limits. The course begins by introducing essential market terminology and the core principles of risk management. You will then move through text-based scenarios to draft and refine your own written trading plan. This course is designed specifically for beginners and developing traders looking to build a structured approach to the markets, requiring no prior financial experience. Start building your professional trading plan today and take control of your financial risk.

Grâce à ce cours, j'ai enfin construit un vrai plan de trading structuré et j'arrête de risquer trop sur une seule position. La partie sur le calcul de la taille de position est très claire, même si j'aurais aimé un peu plus d'études de cas concrètes.

Excellent cours pour qui veut arrêter de trader au feeling et enfin protéger son capital avec méthode. J'ai particulièrement aimé la partie sur le calcul de la taille des positions, très concrète. Je ressors avec un vrai plan écrit que je peux suivre.

資金を守るための具体的なリスク管理プランの作り方が丁寧に説明されていて分かりやすかったです。ポジションサイズの計算方法は特に参考になりました。ただ後半はやや駆け足で、もう少しゆっくり進めてほしかったです。

I've taken a few trading courses before but this one is the first that actually made risk management feel like a system rather than a checklist. It walks through building a real capital protection plan, covering position sizing, stop placement, and how to think about drawdowns before they happen. The pacing is steady enough that I could pause and apply each piece to my own trading immediately. What stood out most was how the instructor kept tying every concept back to protecting capital first, growth second. By the end I had an actual written plan instead of just a head full of rules I'd probably forget under pressure.

Venivo da mesi in cui bruciavo capitale per pura mancanza di disciplina e nessun piano. Questo percorso mi ha insegnato a definire il rischio massimo per ogni operazione e a rispettarlo davvero. Ho apprezzato molto la spiegazione sul rapporto rischio-rendimento e su come proteggere il capitale nei momenti di perdita. Ora ho un piano scritto che seguo a ogni sessione. L'unico appunto è che la sezione sulla psicologia del trading poteva essere più approfondita, ma nel complesso lo consiglio a chi sta crescendo come trader.

Endlich ein Kurs, der Risikomanagement nicht nur theoretisch erklärt, sondern wirklich zeigt, wie man einen Plan zum Schutz des eigenen Kapitals aufbaut. Die Beispiele zur Positionsgröße und zu Stop-Loss-Regeln waren sehr praxisnah. Ich handle jetzt deutlich disziplinierter als vorher.

This course completely reshaped how I approach position sizing and stop losses. The instructor walks through building an actual risk management plan step by step instead of just listing theory. I finally feel like I have a system to protect my capital instead of just hoping for the best.

Penjelasan tentang cara buat rancangan risk management untuk lindungi modal sangat jelas, cuma bahagian akhir rasa agak laju sikit.

Наконец-то нашёл курс, где риск-менеджмент объясняют не общими фразами, а через конкретный план защиты капитала. Разобрали расчёт размера позиции и постановку стопов на реальных примерах. После прохождения перестал торговать хаотично.

Ho finalmente imparato a fissare lo stop loss e a dimensionare le posizioni senza rischiare troppo capitale; consigliato a chi inizia.

Curso direto ao ponto sobre como montar um plano de gestão de risco de verdade, não só teoria solta. Aprendi a calcular tamanho de posição e definir stops de forma consistente. Mudou completamente a forma como encaro cada operação.
