Risk Parameters

Risk parameters control how much money you risk on each trade and when positions are closed. Setting these well matters more than picking the perfect entry.

Stop Loss

What

A fixed percentage below your entry price. If the price falls to this level, the position is closed automatically.

Why

Limits how much you can lose on a single trade.

Example
Buy at ₹100, Stop Loss 5% → position exits at ₹95.
Beginner default

4–6%

Profit Target

What

A fixed percentage above your entry price. If the price rises to this level, the position is closed and profit is locked in.

Why

Ensures you take profits instead of waiting for a reversal.

Example
Buy at ₹100, Profit Target 15% → position exits at ₹115.
Beginner default

10–20%

Position Sizing

What

How much of your capital goes into each trade. Three modes are available:

Equal Split — recommended for beginners

Divide available cash equally among all signals firing that day.

Fixed Amount — for intermediate users

Invest a fixed rupee amount per trade.

Risk-Based — for advanced users

Quantity is calculated so a stop-loss hit costs only a small % of your capital.

Example
₹1,00,000 with Equal Split across 3 signals → about ₹33,333 per trade.

Note

You can always override the presets.

Transaction Cost

What

Brokerage, taxes, and other charges as a percentage of trade value.

Example
0.1% on a ₹50,000 trade = ₹50 per side.
Beginner default

0.1%

Slippage

What

The difference between the expected price and the actual execution price.

Example
0.05% slippage on a ₹100 share means you effectively pay ₹100.05.
Beginner default

0.05%
