Trading Risk Management
The edge you keep is the one that survives your worst week.
GGT Risk Management builds the rules, controls and tooling that keep active traders — and the firms that back them — solvent through drawdown. Not signals. Not a strategy. The framework underneath one.
The four layers we build
- 01Position sizing — risk per trade defined in dollars before the chart is ever opened.
- 02Loss limits — daily, weekly and monthly stops that are enforced, not aspirational.
- 03Drawdown protocol — what size you trade at, and when you stop, on the way down.
- 04Review cadence — a weekly process that catches rule drift before the account does.
The problem
Almost nobody blows up on a bad entry.
They blow up on the trade they sized up to make it back. On the stop they moved once. On the Tuesday they kept trading after three losses because the setup "looked too good."
Every one of those is a risk failure, not a strategy failure — and every one of them is preventable with a rule that exists in writing before the session opens. Most traders have a strategy. Very few have a risk system, and fewer still have one they can prove they followed.
That gap is the entire reason this firm exists.
What we do
Four ways we work
Pick the one that matches where you are. Most people start with the first or the last.
Risk training
A structured programme that takes you from "I know I should size smaller" to a written, tested risk framework you actually run.
- Position sizing models
- Loss limits and circuit breakers
- Drawdown de-risking ladders
- One-to-one mentorship
Risk tools
Software that does the arithmetic and the enforcing, so discipline stops depending on how your morning went.
- Position size calculators
- Daily and weekly loss trackers
- Drawdown monitoring
- Journal and adherence analytics
Firm & desk consulting
For prop firms, funded-trader programmes and small desks: the risk policy, limits and escalation paths that protect the book.
- Written risk policy
- Trader limit frameworks
- Breach and escalation procedure
- Controls documentation
Risk review
A fixed-scope audit of how you are actually trading — your sizing, your journal, your rule adherence — with a written remediation plan.
- Trade history analysis
- Rule adherence scoring
- Failure pattern findings
- Prioritised fix list
How an engagement runs
No mystery, no open-ended retainer.
Every engagement follows the same four steps, and you know the scope and the price before step two.
-
Discovery call
Thirty minutes. What you trade, what the account looks like, and what has actually been going wrong. If we are not the right fit, we say so on this call.
-
Risk diagnostic
We go through your trade history and your existing rules — written or otherwise — and identify where the money is genuinely being lost.
-
Framework build
You get a written risk framework: sizing model, loss limits, drawdown protocol and review process, configured for your instrument, account size and schedule.
-
Adherence and review
The part everyone skips. Scheduled reviews measure whether the framework is being followed, and the framework gets tuned against real results.
Principles
What we believe
Survival is the strategy
An average edge with excellent risk control compounds. A brilliant edge with poor risk control ends. The order of those two matters more than traders want it to.
Rules beat resolve
Discipline is not a personality trait you are issued at birth. It is a system property. Build the constraint into the process and you stop needing to be heroic at 10:04am.
Measure the adherence, not just the P&L
A profitable week where you broke three rules is a warning, not a win. We score the process, because the process is the thing you control.
Start here
Book a risk review
Thirty minutes, no cost, no pitch deck. Bring your last ninety days of trades and we will tell you where the risk is actually leaking. If the answer is "nowhere, keep going" — that is a fine outcome too.
