  1. Calculate how much total risk you can afford to take for a trade.

    • For eg. Rs.1000 per trade, this is noting but a amount you can afford to lose without bothering you emotions and other trades

  2. Identify the technical support zone or resistance zone to protect your trade risk

    • For long position, the support zone can be viewed as stoploss

    • For short position, the resistance zone can be viewed as stoploss

  3. Measure the difference between the entry level and stoploss level, qualify as risk

    • For eg. Buy Infy above 1030, Stoploss 990 and Target 1080, Then Risk = Entry (1030) – Stoploss (990) = Rs.40 / Per Qty

  4. Identify the trade size by understanding your total risk with the technical levels in mind.

    • Since trader can afford total risk of Rs.1000, he can trade only 25 qty.

    • Trade Qty = Total Risk (1000) / Risk per Qty (40) = 25
