You are already doing very good MM by having 0.5 sl on your trades.
This is more than enough MM.


Money management is not just risk:reward ratio.
MM is combination of RR ratio AND Probability of your Trade.

Having good strategy/ Trade setup is primary and most important. Then applying MM on that Trade setup is secondary thing.
:clap::clap::clap: well said..MM is not JUST ABOUT risking more than 1 or 2% of capital per trade, BUT ALSO having R:R based on success rate of your trading system.

Just following 1% of risk of capital per trade wont make us success, may be we loose slowly instead of fast..

R:R is very realvent factor with respect to trading system success rate.

If your HIT rate is more than 90%, R:R of 1:.75 also work out.

but if your HIT rate is just above 50%, then R:R must be 1:2 or above..

Exactly !!
Myself used to risk very less 0.25- 0.5% per trade only but my a/c didn grow. :(:annoyed::mad:
Thats why now changed the approach so that I will risk 3% risk per trade but letting profits run is the plan !!

In trading as i have said many times most important thing is ur wins should be bigger in ur winning trades compared to what u lose in ur losing trades and ur trade plan should facilitate this .people should work on inrcreasing their reward in comparison to their risk.ur trade plan in 20k to 2lkh was excellent in this regard wish it had continued as it would have shown people how to build ur trading account in best way.

Even having 1:1 risk reward is not a bad thing. Either 1:1 or anything above that is a good in scalping.

I don't think your are missing the money management part.
You must be missing identifying good trades.

Money management is not just risk:reward ratio.
MM is combination of RR ratio AND Probability of your Trade.

Example : A far out the money Nifty call which is trading at 1 rupee may reach 100 Rs. So this has a risk:reward ration of 1:100
Is this a good Trade to enter ? probably No. Because, the probability Of Nifty moving so high is very less.

yes sir..mistakes from my side, selecting only one counter or instrument , and expecting every month system to outperform......

somewhere ST da mentioned in 20k to 20L thread, that crude is sideways during that periods..

what i would suggest is if system is mechanical like mine, we should be focusing on 4-6 counter , get 2-3 trades out of 6 from mechanical system, trading those 2-3 trades with even 50% HIT rate , will be rewarding one.
