What the risk management guide covers

Risk management is how you control the size of your losses so no single trade or losing streak can end your account. The core tools are position sizing, a stop-loss on every trade, and a sensible risk-reward ratio. The goal is not to avoid losses, which are unavoidable, but to keep them small and survivable. Protecting capital matters more than any one winning idea.
