Ronin Academy's Advice and Recommendations on Risk Management

Introduction: Who is Responsible for Your Success?

"In any successful enterprise, the key role is played by a leader—someone who truly understands what they are doing. If you decide to become a trader, the only person responsible for your final result is you."

Your capital, your decisions, your strategy—these are your responsibility.

At Ronin Academy, we firmly believe that anyone can master investing and trading, regardless of their initial knowledge or experience. With the right approach, you can develop a strategy tailored to your unique strengths and preferences.

However, financial markets reward those who are willing to learn, not those who think they already know everything.

📌 Success in trading doesn’t come from just having knowledge—it comes from applying it, adapting, and thinking critically.

After 10 years of consulting and working with private traders, we have observed thousands of recurring mistakes. Nearly all of them boil down to two major causes:

1️⃣ Lack of knowledge – traders don’t fully understand how the market works.
2️⃣ Emotions overpower logic – decisions are driven by fear, greed, or impulsiveness instead of analysis.

These two critical mistakes are the biggest risks preventing traders from achieving consistent results.

How can you avoid them? Let’s break down Ronin Academy’s core principles of risk management.


1. Financial Markets Are a Battle for Control

🔹 You must control your money, rather than relying on luck.
🔹 You must control your emotions, rather than letting the market control you.
🔹 You must think critically and analyze every piece of information instead of believing empty promises.

Financial markets are chaotic and unpredictable. But within this chaos, only those who bring structure, follow a strategy, and manage their risks will succeed.

📌 If you don’t have a risk management plan, you are just gambling.


2. The Most Common Mistakes That Lead to Financial Losses

📌 Mistake #1: Ignoring Risk Management

  • If you don’t account for risk, you are simply giving your money away.
  • Never risk more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade.
  • Never add to a losing position without a clear plan—this is the fastest way to wipe out your account.

📌 Mistake #2: Trading Based on Emotions Instead of Logic

  • Fear prevents traders from taking good trades.
  • Greed pushes traders to open oversized positions.
  • Excitement leads traders to trade recklessly, without discipline.

📌 Mistake #3: Believing in Quick Success Instead of Playing the Long Game

  • Financial markets do not reward impatience.
  • Trying to "get rich quick" instead of developing a sustainable system leads to losses.
  • Patience is one of the most valuable assets of a successful trader.

3. Ronin Academy’s Core Risk Management Principles

1. Capital Protection: Never risk more than you can afford to lose.
✔ Keep risk per trade at 1-2% of your total account balance.
✔ Even if you experience 10 consecutive losing trades, you will still have capital left to recover.

2. Emotional Discipline: Never let the market control you.
✔ Successful traders remain calm, even during market downturns.
Emotional trading is the #1 reason traders fail.

3. Logical Decision-Making: Base your trades on data, not feelings.
✔ Traders who don’t analyze the market are simply placing bets in a casino.
Understand cause-and-effect relationships in the economy and align your strategy with them.

4. Work Only with Regulated Brokers
98% of “investment opportunities” online are scams.
Trade only with licensed brokers (FCA, CySEC, ASIC).

5. Never Stop Learning: Markets Are Always Changing
✔ There is no "holy grail" strategy that works forever.
Only those who continuously adapt and evolve stay profitable in the long run.


4. Conclusion: How to Make Money and Not Lose Everything?

📌 Trading is not just about making profits—it is about managing risk.
📌 Financial markets are a battlefield where discipline and logic win over emotions and illusions.
📌 You cannot control the market, but you can control your own decisions.

IF YOU:

🔹 Control risk and emotions
🔹 Work with a reputable, regulated broker
🔹 Continuously analyze and improve
🔹 Are not afraid of losing money, but understand how to manage losses

ONLY THEN WILL YOU START MAKING MONEY.

🚀 At Ronin Academy, we don’t just teach people how to make money—we teach them how to protect it.

📌 Trading is not about luck. It’s about strategy, risk management, and discipline.
📌 Only those who build a system will stay in the market and remain profitable.
