Risk Threshold
A risk threshold is a specific level of potential loss that, if reached, triggers an exit or adjustment. It is a self-imposed boundary used to manage risk effectively.
By adhering to a threshold, a trader prevents minor losses from turning into disasters. It is a critical component of trade management and maintaining discipline in a high-pressure environment.
