Kya aapke saath aisa hota hai ki ek din 3 quantity lete ho, agle din 10, aur phir ek bada loss poore hafte ki kamai kha jaata hai? Problem aksar setup mein nahi hoti. Problem hoti hai quantity mein. Matlab position sizing mein.
Is article mein hum simple bhasha mein samjhenge ki position sizing kya hai, iska formula kya hai, stock, options aur forex mein ise kaise lagayein, aur beginners kaun si galtiyan karte hain. Saare numbers sirf example hain, taaki maths clear ho jaaye.
Position sizing ka matlab hai: ek trade mein kitni quantity leni hai. Ye decision feeling se nahi, ek fixed rule se hona chahiye.
Achha trader pehle ye sochta hai ki “agar main galat hua to kitna jaayega?” Profit baad mein aata hai. Jab har trade ka risk pehle se fix hota hai, to koi ek bura trade aapka account nahi tod sakta.
“Setup decide karta hai ki trade lena hai ya nahi. Position size decide karta hai ki aap kal bhi trade kar paoge ya nahi.”
Formula sirf teen cheezon par chalta hai: account size, risk percent aur stop loss ki doori.
Risk amount = Account size × Risk percent. Beginners ke liye bahut log 1% ya usse kam rakhte hain. Ye aapka personal rule hai, koi guarantee nahi.
Per unit risk = Entry price − Stop loss price (short trade mein ulta). Ye batata hai ki ek share ya ek unit par kitna nuksan ho sakta hai.
Quantity = Risk amount ÷ Per unit risk. Answer ko hamesha neeche round karo, upar nahi.
Bas itna hi. Pehle stop loss chart se decide hota hai, phir quantity formula se. Ulta kabhi nahi.
Ye sirf ek example hai, koi trade recommendation nahi.
Ab maan lo stop loss chart ke hisaab se 490 par hona chahiye. Per share risk 10 rupaye ho gaya. Quantity = 1,000 ÷ 10 = 100 shares.
Dekho kya hua? Stop bada hua to quantity apne aap chhoti ho gayi. Risk dono baar 1,000 rupaye hi raha. Yahi position sizing ki asli taakat hai.
Scalping mein brokerage, STT aur baaki charges chhote trades par bhi lagte hain. Achha tareeka ye hai ki apne risk amount mein charges ka andaza bhi shaamil karo. Exact charges apne broker ke calculator par check karo.
Options mein quantity lot mein aati hai, isliye formula thoda badalta hai:
Lots = Risk amount ÷ (Premium mein stop × Lot size)
Example: Risk 1,000 rupaye hai. Premium ka stop 10 rupaye neeche hai. Agar lot size 50 maan lein (sirf example), to ek lot ka risk = 10 × 50 = 500 rupaye. Lots = 1,000 ÷ 500 = 2 lots.
Lot size time ke saath badalta rehta hai. Current value apne broker / NSE par check karo. Aur agar ek lot ka risk hi aapke risk amount se zyada hai, to trade skip karo. Ye bhi ek valid decision hai.
Forex mein formula same hai, bas units pips aur lots hain:
Lot size = Risk amount ÷ (Stop in pips × Pip value per lot)
Example: Risk 10 dollar, stop 20 pips, aur maan lo 1 standard lot ka pip value 10 dollar hai. To 20 × 10 = 200 dollar per lot. Lots = 10 ÷ 200 = 0.05 lot. Pip value pair aur broker ke hisaab se alag hota hai, isliye apne platform ka calculator use karo.
Losing streak har trader ki life mein aati hai. Neeche simple maths dekho. Maan lo 1,00,000 ka account hai aur lagatar 10 trades loss mein gaye (sirf example):
5% wale case mein wapas 1,00,000 tak aane ke liye lagbhag 67% return chahiye. 1% wale case mein lagbhag 11%. Chhota risk aapko game mein bane rehne deta hai.
“Bada loss recover karna, chhota loss lene se kai guna mushkil hai.”
Pehle socha “100 lena hai”, phir stop ko quantity ke hisaab se chhota kar diya. Isse stop galat jagah lagta hai aur jaldi hit hota hai.
Ek loss ke baad “double karke cover kar lunga” wali soch revenge trading hai. Risk percent fix rakho.
Broker zyada margin de raha hai, iska matlab ye nahi ki utni quantity lo. Margin buying power hai, risk limit nahi.
Per trade risk ke saath ek daily limit bhi rakho, jaise 3 losses ke baad us din band. Ye number aap apne plan mein khud decide karo.
Position sizing boring lagta hai, par yahi woh cheez hai jo beginner ko trader banati hai. Har trade se pehle 30 second ka ye calculation aapko bade nuksan se bachata hai.

Trade lene ke baad sabse bada sawaal yahi hota hai: stop loss kahan lagayein? Bahut se beginners ya to SL itna tight rakhte hain ki normal market noise mein hi hit ho jaata hai, ya phir itna door ki ek hi loss poore hafte ki kamai kha jaata hai. Kuch log to SL lagate hi nahi, “wapas aa jaayega” soch kar.
Is article mein hum stop loss lagane ke 4 logical tareeke samjhenge, jo price action aur volatility par based hain, random number par nahi. Saath mein ek worked example, kuch common galtiyan aur ek chhota checklist bhi milega jo aap har trade se pehle use kar sakte ho.
Stop loss sirf “nuksaan rokne ka button” nahi hai. Iska asli kaam hai woh point batana jahan aapka trade idea galat saabit ho jaata hai. Agar aapne support ke upar buy kiya kyunki aapko laga support hold karega, to SL wahan hona chahiye jahan support toot jaaye. Usse pehle nahi, bahut baad bhi nahi.
Isliye SL hamesha chart se decide hota hai, aapki jeb se nahi. “Mujhe sirf 500 rupaye ka loss chahiye, to 10 point SL laga deta hoon” yeh ulta tareeka hai. Pehle chart par logical SL dhundho, phir uske hisaab se quantity decide karo.
“Stop loss woh jagah hai jahan aapka trade idea galat ho jaata hai, na ki woh jagah jahan aapka dard shuru hota hai.”
Buy trade mein SL recent swing low ke thoda neeche lagao, sell trade mein recent swing high ke thoda upar. Logic simple hai: agar price apna last swing low tod deta hai, to uptrend ka structure toot gaya, aur aapka buy idea ab valid nahi raha. Scalping mein 1-min ya 3-min chart ke chhote swings use hote hain, intraday mein 5-min ya 15-min ke.
Agar aap kisi support zone se bounce par entry le rahe ho, to SL zone ke andar nahi, zone ke bahar rakho. Zone ek line nahi hota, ek area hota hai. Price aksar zone ke andar thoda wick maarta hai. SL zone ke bilkul edge par rakhoge to aksar “stop hunt” ka shikaar ban jaoge. Thoda buffer do.
Agar aapki entry kisi specific candle pattern par hai, jaise pin bar ya bullish engulfing, to SL us signal candle ke low ke thoda neeche (buy) ya high ke thoda upar (sell) lagao. Agar price us candle ka low tod de, to pattern fail ho gaya. Yeh tareeka scalpers mein bahut popular hai kyunki SL chhota aur clear hota hai.
ATR yaani Average True Range batata hai ki ek candle average kitna move karti hai. Agar market zyada volatile hai to SL bhi thoda wide chahiye, shant market mein tight. Common tareeka hai entry se 1 se 1.5 ATR door SL rakhna. Isse aapka SL market ke mood ke hisaab se adjust hota hai, fixed number par nahi atakta.
Practically, best result tab milta hai jab aap do tareeke combine karte ho. Jaise swing low bhi dekho aur check karo ki woh entry se kam se kam ek ATR door hai ya nahi. Agar swing low bahut paas hai, to noise mein hit hone ka chance zyada hai.
Yeh ek example hai, sirf samjhane ke liye. Kisi real stock ya instrument ki call nahi hai.
Ab risk per share = 502 − 497 = ₹5. Max risk ₹1,000 hai, to quantity = 1,000 ÷ 5 = 200 shares.
Dhyan do, humne pehle SL decide kiya chart se, phir quantity nikali. Agar SL ₹10 door hota, to quantity 100 shares ho jaati. Risk rupees mein same rehta hai, sirf size badalta hai. Yahi professional approach hai. Brokerage aur charges bhi apne broker ke calculator par check karke is risk mein jod lo.
“SL chart se nikalo, quantity risk se nikalo. Ulta karoge to market aapko sikha dega.”
500, 1000, 20000 jaise round numbers par bahut saare traders SL rakhte hain. Wahan liquidity jama hoti hai aur price aksar wahan tak jaakar wapas aata hai. Round number ke thoda peeche rakho.
Price SL ke paas aaya aur aapne SL aur neeche kar diya “thoda aur space de deta hoon”. Yeh sabse khatarnaak aadat hai. SL sirf profit side mein trail ho sakta hai, loss side mein kabhi nahi.
“Main dimaag mein SL rakhta hoon, hit hua to khud exit kar dunga.” Fast market mein, khaaskar scalping mein, mental SL aksar kaam nahi karta kyunki emotions beech mein aa jaate hain. Order book mein actual SL order lagao.
Har trade mein “20 point SL” lagana aasaan lagta hai, par har setup aur har din ki volatility alag hoti hai. Fixed points ki jagah upar ke 4 logical tareeke use karo.
Jab trade aapke favour mein chal raha ho, to SL ko dheere dheere peeche laana (trail karna) profit protect karta hai. Ek simple tareeka: jab price aapke risk jitna move kar le (1R), to SL entry par le aao. Uske baad har naye swing low (buy trade) ke neeche SL trail karte jao.
Bas itna yaad rakho ki bahut jaldi trail karoge to normal pullback mein hi bahar ho jaoge. Trail bhi chart structure ke hisaab se karo, har candle ke saath nahi.
Stop loss koi kamzori nahi, balki aapke trading business ka insurance hai. Jo trader SL ko seriously leta hai, woh market mein lambe samay tak tik paata hai.
