ก่อนเทรดทอง วางจำนวนเงินที่ยอมเสี่ยง

English Summary

The article, dated September 25, 2026, outlines a risk management framework for gold trading that prioritizes defining the invalidation point of a trading thesis before determining position size. Traders must first identify the specific price level where their market hypothesis fails, using this level to place a Stop Loss order. Position sizing is then calculated based on the distance between the entry price and the Stop Loss, combined with contract specifications. The core formula converts a risk percentage into a fixed monetary amount by multiplying total capital by the desired risk percentage and dividing by 100. For example, with 1,000 units of capital and a 1% risk tolerance, the maximum planned loss per trade is 10 units, though this is presented as a formula demonstration rather than investment advice. The analysis emphasizes that this calculated risk amount excludes transaction costs such as commissions and slippage, noting that during periods of high volatility, markets may gap through Stop Loss levels, resulting in execution prices that differ from the set level. Consequently, Stop Loss orders should not be viewed as absolute guarantees of maximum loss. Finally, traders are advised to assess aggregate risk across all open positions, including gold and other assets that may correlate with the US dollar or react to the same news events, as diversifying into multiple orders does not automatically reduce total portfolio risk.
