Develop the skills to manage risk in the high-stakes world of financial speculation

The Risk of Trading is a practical resource that takes an in-depth look at one of the most challenging factors of trading--risk management. The book puts a magnifying glass on the issue of risk, something that every trader needs to understand in order to be successful.

Most traders look at risk in terms of a "stop-loss" that enables them to exit a losing trade quickly. In The Risk of Trading, Michael Toma explains that risk is ever-present in every aspect of trading and advocates that traders adopt a more comprehensive view of risk that encompasses the strategic trading plan, account size, drawdowns, maximum possible losses, psychological capital, and crisis management.

  • Shows how to conduct a detailed statistical analysis of an individual's trading methodology through back-testing and real-time results so as to identify when the methodology may be breaking down in actual trading
  • Reveals why traders should think of themselves as project managers who are strategically managing risk
  • The book is based on the author's unique 'focus on the risk' approach to trading using data-driven risk statistical analytics

Using this book as a guide, traders can operate more as business managers and learn how to avoid market-busting losses while achieving consistently good results.

Nobody understands this better than author Michael Toma--a Certified Risk Manager with extensive experience in the field of finance.

  • Part I provides an introduction to the principles of risk management as well as a five-step risk management process and how it can be applied to your trading endeavors

  • Part II addresses practical applications of managing and measuring risk using data analytics and explores leveraging solid trading strategies within a culture of metrics

  • Part III discusses the human risk elements that challenge every trader, from managing losing streaks and drawdowns to taking emotions out of your trading decisions
