Based on many sources while in the Industry more than 95% of people trading the share market lose money and reseach suggests less than 5% are successful because they correctly implement Money & Risk Management principles.
Money Management, Position or Trade Sizing…
No matter what you call it, You Better Know It!
"Money Management is like sex: Everyone does it, one way or the other, but not many like to talk about it and some do it better than others. But there’s a big difference: Sex sites on the Web proliferate, while sites devoted to the science of Money & Risk Management are somewhat difficult to find." Gibbons Burke

The rules spoken by qualified Traders are NEVER Risk any more than 2% of your Trading Capital on any one trade.
e.g. If you have $30,000 your maximum risk for any one trade is $600 but what many forget is to also cater for brokerage. If it’s $25 each way (buy and sell) your maximum risk is now $550 and a stop is set appropriately so if your share drops in value by $550 you exit first opportunity.
NEVER Trade with more than 20% of Trading Capital on any one trade.
e.g. Again, if you have $30,000 in Trading Capital your maximum trade (position) size would be $6000 but I prefer to use 19% so if I have 5 open trades I would still have 5% of my trading capital out of the market allowing for things like slippage, education, data, etc.

A simple mistake many make when calculating their Trade (Position) Sizing.
e.g. My first open trade, based on a Trading Capital of $30,000, is now worth $7000, up $1000 from $6,000, and I decide to open a second trade. The correct method is to first determine the share value if current trailing/profit stop is hit. You may be up $1000 but your trailing stop is set and if hit you make less, say $900 so the next calculation would be based on $30,000 + $900.

”The only things in life that are certain is Death and Taxes!” Benjamin Franklin
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance but you can control the risk.

It's the 21st Century and it’s quite normal to manage one’s own investments, yet very few implement disciplined, professional money risk management principles or seek correct qualified advice. During the stock market boom, limiting risk was always an afterthought, but given the recent volatility & market conditions, let's get serious!

Professional Money Risk Management strategies, used correctly and together, is the foundation to trading success, as stated by qualified Traders and Educators. Understanding it all and putting it all together is the objective. Essentially, Money Management tells you how many shares to trade at any given time based on your risk tolerance and Stop placement is where you must accept you have made the wrong decision, close that trade and move on. It is a defensive concept that keeps you in the game to play another day. Don’t confuse Money Management with Stop placement. Stop placement does not address the question, how much?

Risk Management can be the difference between success and failure when trading shares. It refers to Stop placement and will minimize any losses and you will have them but also protect your profits and this stop is called a Trailing, Maintenance or Profit Stop.

Money Management optimizes capital usage. Few traders have the ability to view their portfolios as a whole. Even fewer make the move from a defensive or reactive view of risk, in which they measure risk to avoid losses, to an offensive or proactive posture in which risks are actively managed for a more efficient use of capital. JBL Risk Manager simplifies all these calculations for you. JBL Risk Manager is currently only available to those that receive or have access to MetaStock format data via the internet. It will automatically calculate your Trade Size, Stop Loss price, Trailing Stop, Break-even price and so much more, based on the last close and your own parameters while integrating with your Metastock database. You do not require Metastock Charting Analysis Software. It will, of course, also allow you to change your anticipated buy price to actual buy price (slippage) if and when this occurs and it normally does. It will indicate when to look for another trade based on your isk tolerance and also automatically reports on your performance by showing your portfolio %win-loss ratios, average $win-loss, trade expectancy and much more, accurately. For more than a decade I have helped both novice and seasoned individuals understand the importance of Money Risk Management and pleased to offer this simple program that will help with all the calculations.

Genuine Customer Testimonials
Lee and I just had to write and say that we have been using your JBL Risk Manager software for several months now and we are delighted with its ease of use and the powerful simplicity it delivers into our hands when we consider keeping or selling shares. We have now grown well away from our beginnings of wondering how much to invest, buying shares and wondering when to take a profit or hanging onto them as they lost value and hoping they would "come good" again. Your Risk Manager program has protected profits for us and has signalled the time to quit an unprofitable situation. Our involvement in the share market is now business like and successful. Congratulations on translating your skill & knowledge into such an effective yet simple program.
B.Counsel (Vic)

In my humble opinion, I feel that all investors in the market should be utilising this very easy to use product. It has simplified my investing regime and resulted in reducing the time I spend involved in my wealth creation strategies. It doesn't matter if you're a full time investor or small player in the markets, this product, JBL Risk Manager is an invaluable tool and a must have for all. I would buy it at double the price. I cannot commend it highly enough. It has my strongest endorsement.
E. Purvis (WA)

Overall it’s a winner Joseph! For someone who appreciates the importance of capital and risk management, position sizing and win/loss ratios, expectancy etc, this application is a must.
P. Skalak (NSW)

I've been trading for many years and started using your software early last year (2008) and I am really impressed with it.  I really appreciate the way it works - simple but very effective. I'm happy to recommend your program to all seasoned share trading professionals and beginners.
J. Carter (WA)

Thank you again Joseph. I can now put your excellent program to work on my stock lists. Just for your info, from time to time a course member has asked if I have a recommended money management approach? Over the years I haven't made any recommendations in that regard. After first experimenting with your trial and then purchasing JBLRM, it has shown it has excellent potential and is well worth the cost. I'll be more than happy to refer your program to my course members & others. Gordon De Roos - "Andrews Pitchfork" - Median Line Strategy (USA)

Congratulation for creating such beautiful software for risk management. I have used many advanced money management software but none comes as near as JBL Risk Manager in terms of user friendliness and features that are compressed in such small software.
Vishal M. (Mumbai, India)

Our fund is currently quite substantial, with the shares/free cash proportion constantly changing. Until now I have developed a reasonably complex spreadsheet to manage the trades and to assess and record all the transactions, success rate etc, however, it pales into insignificance compared to your software.
