Use the same workflow for both LONG and SHORT scenarios so decisions stay comparable.

Step-by-step RiskR workflow

Follow these steps in order so the plan, execution, and review loop remain connected.

Step 1

Start with a trade idea

Define the setup thesis first, then use symbol search or manual symbol entry in RiskR.

Step 2

Enter account and risk settings

Set investment amount, max risk amount, or manual size to match account rules.

Step 3

Add entry, stop, and target

Set invalidation and objective before deciding execution details.

Step 4

Read the risk/reward map

Use the map to see if planned reward justifies planned risk.

Step 5

Review position size

Validate quantity, exposure, and downside before entry.

Step 6

Save the trade plan

Store the original thesis so edits and outcomes stay traceable.

Common mistakes RiskR helps you avoid

Use the planner to reduce avoidable process errors before and after trade entry.

Entering without a defined stop

RiskR requires stop-aware planning so downside is visible before commitment.

Taking trades with poor risk/reward

Reward/Risk cards and map context highlight when setup structure is weak.

Oversizing positions

Sizing modes and risk caps reduce accidental overexposure.

Changing the plan after entry

Saved plans preserve original levels so later changes stay visible.
