Risk management starts before the trade idea.
Risk management is not only a stop loss. It is the full process of deciding whether the chart is clear enough, where the idea is wrong, and whether the potential reward justifies the exposure.
Define invalidation first
If you cannot identify the level or condition that makes the idea wrong, the risk is not defined. Undefined risk is a reason to wait.
Separate analysis from sizing
A chart can look clean and still be too expensive to trade. Position size must fit the stop distance and the trader's risk plan.
Respect no-trade conditions
Wide spreads, major news, unclear structure, and weak reward distance can make waiting the most disciplined decision.
Review outcomes honestly
The quality of the decision matters more than one result. Chart Coach is designed to support review habits, not guarantee outcomes.
