Stoploss on leg level - 3 layers of risk management
Govinda Bhadada
Adding a few layers of risk management
- Along with leg stoploss, keeping an overall dollar loss for a strategy/portfolio (both loss checks together) (for eg, if leg stoploss is at 50%, and dollar loss of portfolio is at $20 - so incase a day is volatile and not suitable for a straddle, we exit out of the volatility)
- After stoploss on a leg level hits, have an option to change stoploss of the other leg(s) to cost (move SL to cost). In case of a sold straddle/strangles, it will help manage risk in periods of high volatility when market is swinging wild on both sides.
- In case leg SL hits, having an option to either (A) exit all/partial trades in the strategy/portfolio or (B) option to exit only that leg (along with maybe corresponding hedge or child legs).
