Diversify Across Asset Classes
Avoid overexposure to a single sector or asset — balance equities, commodities, and fixed-income instruments.

Use Stop Loss and Risk Controls
Don’t “hope” for a turnaround. Automated stop-losses can protect you from emotional decisions.

Hedge with Derivatives
Options and futures can be used to neutralize potential losses in your core holdings.

Shift Toward Defensive Sectors
Utilities, healthcare, and consumer staples often remain stable even during downturns

Stay Liquid and Stay Calm
Keep cash or liquid funds available. Avoid panic selling and stick to your long-term plan
