2/n

There are rules to be followed
Either Fix Risk per Trade
Or Capital Allocation

(%of your whole capital)

3/n

Let's take an example
WHEN RISK PER TRADE IS FIXED :

TOTAL CAPITAL = 1,00,000 Rs
RISK PER TRADE = 0.5% OF TOTAL CAPITAL
(this could vary from 1-2%)
RISK PER TRADE = 500 Rs

Now stock Price = 100
Stop loss = 96 Rs
Risk per single Stock = 4 Rs
Total Risk per Trade = 500
4/n

QUANTITY = RISK PER TRADE/ RISK PER SINGLE STOCK

Quantity = 500/4  = 125

In this case Now Capital allocation is
125×100 = 12500

In such Cases your capital allocation
Will keep on changing for every traded depending upon your stopnloss % of that particular stock

5/n

WHEN CAPITAL ALLOCATION IS FIXED :

General Stock Allocation = 7%
No of Stocks to hold max = 12
Cash to Be held Everytime = 15%
(General Rule , you can change according to your risk)

Now stock Price = 100
Stop loss = 96 Rs
Risk per single Stock = 4 Rs

7000÷100 = 70 Qty
6/n

In this case you loose max
70×4 = 280 Rs

During Capital Allocation fixation
The stop loss amount keep on changing depending upon the particular stock.

You can make fix Rule of max 10% stop loss per trade to keep losses minimum.

Why?

10% Move and 10% Position moves your Pf up 1%

10% Move And 20% Position moves Your Pf up 2%

10% Move and 2% Positon
Moves your Pf 0.4%

Moves are not Important
Correct Pf allocation is Imp

Dont overleverage/underbuy
