Risk management with Navrya
Last updated
A good setup at the wrong size still loses the account. Navrya keeps risk in front of you at the three moments it matters: when you size the trade, before you take it, and after a loss.
Start from the risk, not the size
Decide what one trade is allowed to cost — a percentage of the account or an amount — and let the size follow from the distance to your stop. The trade calculator works out the rest from whatever you enter: position size, margin, liquidation price, risk-to-reward, breakeven and commission.
Quick picks for 0.5, 1, 2 and 3% risk and 1× to 50× leverage keep it fast, and it can read a setup straight from a chart screenshot. Your default risk per trade and your exchange's fees are set once in Settings and fill in every form.
Give each account its rules
Rules belong to the account they protect. Every field starts empty; fill in the ones your firm, or your own plan, asks for.
- Prop-firm accounts: profit target, daily loss limit, maximum drawdown (static or trailing), minimum trading days, consistency cap, maximum lot size, maximum open positions and maximum risk per trade.
- Personal accounts: daily loss cap, maximum risk per trade, monthly goal, maximum open positions, and a hard floor the balance must never go below.
The trading day resets at midnight UTC unless you change it, and only closed trades count towards it. Every rule carries a state — Safe, In progress, Watch, Danger or Violated — so you see a limit coming before you reach it.
Check the trade before you take it
The pre-trade check sets a trade's risk against what the account still allows today and gives a plain verdict:
- Inside every rule.
- Too large for what is left today — it would use most of today's remaining allowance.
- Above your own risk rule.
- This trade would breach the daily limit.
- No risk rule configured — there is nothing yet to measure it against.
It also tells you how many more trades like this one you can take before the daily limit.
When the AI assistant fills in a trade for you, it asks you to confirm before going over your strategy's maximum risk or the account's daily loss limit, warns you about a missing stop-loss or too many open trades, and points out when you are raising your risk after a run of losses or under high stress.
Know your numbers
Each account shows its win rate, profit factor, expectancy, average risk-to-reward and largest drawdown, and every closed trade is recorded in R. Expectancy in R is the honest test of a strategy: what an average trade earns for each unit you risk.
Watch your state, not just the chart
Accounts are rarely lost to one bad trade; they are lost to a run of decisions made while upset. Navrya reads the signs in your own log:
- Tilt meter — Calm, Watch or High. It reads High after two losses in a row, or a loss in the last 30 minutes.
- Revenge trading — a new trade within 30 minutes of a loss, logged as angry or as revenge.
- Overtrading — more than five trades in a day.
- Losing streaks — three or more losses in a row.
After a loss, a short reflection asks what you will do next. If the answer is to go straight back in and win it back, a 15-minute cool-down is suggested, and at high stress a breathing exercise is offered. They pause you; they never close a trade.
Habits that hold
- Risk the same small share of the account on every trade, and change it on purpose — never in the middle of a session.
- Put the stop where the idea is proven wrong, then size the position to it, not the other way round.
- Set a daily loss limit and stop when you reach it, even when you are sure the next trade is the one.
- Review in R, not in money, so a big win on a big size cannot hide a bad process.
