Risk Management for Beginners
Risk management is the most important subject in options education. Even the best strategy fails without discipline.
Rules for beginners:
Never invest all capital in options (limit to 10–20%).
Always use stop-loss orders.
Trade in liquid contracts (like Nifty, Bank Nifty, large-cap stocks).
Understand Greeks (Delta = direction, Theta = time decay, Vega = volatility).
Avoid selling naked options (unlimited risk).
Common Mistakes Beginners Make
Buying cheap out-of-the-money options – They look attractive but often expire worthless.
Ignoring time decay – Options lose value daily.
Overtrading – Too many trades cause losses.
No exit plan – Holding losing positions too long.
Chasing quick profits – Leads to gambling behavior.
Educational Tips for Success
Start with paper trading to learn without risk.
Focus on 1–2 simple strategies first (covered call, spreads).
Keep a trading journal to track mistakes.
Read about market psychology.
Remember: protecting capital is more important than chasing profits.
