Firstly, I just don't jump into a trade. I make sure my analysis is correct, with a certainty measure of at least 75%. This way, I filter out the bad trades thus protecting my account before trading. During trading, I enter the trade with a maximum of 5% of my equity (when I am very sure of the trade). I make sure to use a generous trailing stop alongside wy tp. I do not use a hard stop loss, but I use a mental stop loss. This way I protect my account, during the trade. After my positions are closed (mostly in profits from tp hits and my trailing stop), I make sure I close all pending orders that were not activated, and I close trading for the day. That is how I protect my account after trading.
