A trade without clear risk is not a trade — it is a gamble.
Before entering, elite traders ensure that invalidation is obvious, position sizing is controlled, and downside exposure is acceptable. If any element is uncertain, execution is delayed.
Clarity is not created by confidence —
it is created by measurable risk.
When risk is defined, decisions become calmer, exits become cleaner, and results become more consistent.
Risk definition is the foundation of professionalism.
