Effective risk management tools for trading include:
- Stop-Loss Orders: Essential for limiting potential losses on each trade.
- Position Sizing: Crucial for managing the amount of capital risked per trade.
- Risk/Reward Ratio: Key to ensuring potential rewards justify the risks taken.
Utilizing stop-loss orders is a proactive way to protect your capital. Position sizing is equally important, as it helps maintain balance across trades regardless of varying market conditions. And of course, having a clear understanding of the risk/reward ratio ensures that we're not just trading for the sake of it but are making calculated decisions that could lead to sustainable profitability.
The risk here is greed, and I've faced this myself multiple times. Additionally, emotional control has been a challenge for me

Just try not to focus all you have on one asset or just a few positions; in fact, you should diversify to a good extent, and this way some profit will be guaranteed at least. Never forget to stop your losses and take profits to control your losses or greed.
Could you provide examples of how you diversify your investments?

You can invest in different branches of the market. You can go for stocks, you can trade Forex pairs, you can also go for commodities, and even in those, there are different sectors to try out. Which company are you going to invest in? Which pair are you going to trade on? Not all of them will be going high or low at the same time. It is heavily reliant on your strategies and risk tolerance but this way in my opinion and experience you will be profiting.
How do you choose which market branch to invest in, like stocks, Forex, or commodities?

You should go with whichever one suits your strategies the best. Analyze the market, compare to what capital, and tools you have available, realize the market potential and if it is most suitable for your goals, just go with it.
