Risk Control
Risk control is the active, ongoing monitoring and management of a trade's risk profile from the moment it is opened until it is closed. It involves not just setting initial stops, but also adjusting them as market conditions change, hedging positions, and ensuring the trade stays within the trader's predefined risk parameters.
Risk control is essential for preventing catastrophic loss and protecting the account during periods of high volatility. It is the day-to-day work of professional trading, requiring constant vigilance and the ability to act objectively, even when the trade is moving against the trader's expectations.
