Algo trading mein sabse bada dar kya hai? “Glitch.” Man lijiye aapne code mein ek chhota sa comma galat laga diya aur machine ne unlimited trades le liye. Isliye risk management coding ka sabse pehla lesson hona chahiye.
Position Sizing: Kabhie bhi ek trade mein apne capital ka 1-2% se zyada risk na lein. Algorithm ko code karein ki woh automatically aapki account value calculate kare aur uske hisaab se hi quantity decide kare.
Hard Stop-Losses: Har order ke saath ek “Hard Stop-Loss” hona chahiye. Matlab, jab order server par jaye, toh exit price bhi saath mein jaye. Agar internet chala gaya ya broker ka platform down ho gaya, toh bhi aapka loss limited rahega.
The “Kill Switch”: Har algo setup mein ek “Kill Switch” button hona chahiye. Agar market mein koi flash crash hota hai ya algo abnormal behave karne lage, toh ek click se saare open positions close ho jaane chahiye aur naye orders block ho jaane chahiye.
Psychology of Automation: Aapko lag sakta hai ki machine sab sambhal legi, lekin market ka boss aap hain. Aapko hamesha apni machine ko monitor karna chahiye.
Conclusion: Algo trading aapko paisa kama kar de sakti hai, lekin risk management aapko market mein tikae rakhega. Hamesha yaad rakhein: Trading mein profit se zyada zaruri hai capital ko bachana.
