The Trader’s Guide to Risk Management: Learn the secret rules that keep traders in the game

Most traders don’t fail because of bad ideas. They fail because they don’t manage risk.
If you’ve ever blown up an account—or felt the fear of watching your capital vanish—you already know the truth: trading is not about finding the “perfect” strategy. It’s about surviving long enough for your edge to pay off.

This is not a hype book. It won’t promise quick riches or magical indicators. Instead, it delivers the one skill that separates traders who last from those who disappear: risk management.

📌 Inside this survival guide, you’ll learn:

• The Probabilistic Reality of Trading → Why markets are a numbers game, not a guessing game.

• Position Sizing & Money Management → Rules that guarantee one trade never ruins you.

• Stops, Hedges, and Adjustments → How to defend positions without emotional mistakes.

• Smart Diversification → Avoid correlation traps that trick most traders.

• The Psychology of Survival → Train your mind to accept small losses and detach from ego.

• Options as Insurance, Not Speculation → Puts and covered calls as protection, not gambling.

• Real-World Case Studies → From the 2020 oil crash to meme stock mania, see how risk decides who survives.

📖 Why this book is different

Jesús A. Rodríguez G. doesn’t write from an ivory tower. In 2020, he lost almost everything in the markets. He knows the pain of a blown-up account—and the discipline it takes to start over.
Through rebuilding his capital, teaching hundreds of students at the GOAT Academy, and years of testing, he discovered the ultimate truth of trading:
👉 Profits come and go. Survival is forever.

🧩 With this book you’ll be able to:

• Build a personal risk plan that fits your account size.

• Avoid catastrophic drawdowns that destroy traders.

• Create consistency with journaling, checklists, and loss limits.

👉 The Trader’s Guide to Risk Management will change the way you see risk, money, and survival in the markets.

good info

I did not take any of this advice when I started out buying stock. thankfully I started reading and learning and found the goat academy. following what Felix Prehn teaches, along with other coaches in the academy, like Jesus (the author of this book) has enlightened me to a better way to approach trading/investing. they are full of knowledge and learning in their classes is inspiring. knowing just the simple basics they teach will save you from financial ruin.
