Define Risk Before Entry
Know When Your Trade Idea Is Wrong
Before entering any position, experienced traders define one key level: the invalidation point — the price or condition that proves the original thesis incorrect.
This step comes before sizing. Why? Because risk is calculated from the entry to that invalidation level, not from hope or intuition.
Define where you're wrong first.
Size the position so that loss stays within your risk limit.
Only then consider entry.
This sequence keeps emotion out and structure in.
