Risk Management Guidelines
Position Sizing
- MF_CAPITAL should be 100x MF_TRADING_LIMIT for optimal leverage
- Never risk more than 2-5% of total portfolio per strategy instance
- Monitor margin usage and adjust MF_CAPITAL accordingly
Stop Loss Strategy
- Enable ENABLE_STOP_LOSS for risk-averse trading
- Set STOP_LOSS_PERCENTAGE between 1-3% for most scenarios
- Use STOP_LOSS_THRESHOLD to control position sizing after losses
DCA Management
- Start with DCA_QUOTIENT of 1-2 for beginners
- Increase BASE_DCA_PERCENT in highly volatile markets
- Enable ENFORCE_DCA_MIN_STEP to prevent order clustering
Profit Taking
- Use AUTO_GAIN in trending markets
- Set TRAILING_SPREAD based on market volatility
- Enable RIDE_PROFIT_WAVE for maximum trend capture
Performance Optimization Tips
- Timeframe Selection: Match timeframes to market volatility
- Profit Targets: Lower targets in ranging markets, higher in trending
- DCA Strategy: More aggressive in strong trends, conservative in chop
- Scalping: Enable only with sufficient capital and monitoring
- Stop Losses: Tighter in uncertain markets, wider in confirmed trends
