Trading Playbook for THCa Buyers and Sellers with Risk Controls
Define your book before you trade: treat each lot like a discrete strategy – assign a max exposure, a time horizon, and an acceptable margin of quality erosion. Use conservative size limits when liquidity is thin: consider a standing rule such as max 2-4% of monthly traded volume per position and a pre-set holding window (e.g., 14-45 days) to reduce inventory drag. When markets gap, prefer split fills and staggered re-entries to avoid single-lot shocks.
Lock rules into orders and contracts: execute entries with layered limit orders and place time-based stop triggers rather than emotional exits. For sellers, combine firm take-or-pay terms with short sales windows; for buyers, build option-like protections through contingent forwards or buyback clauses. Always pair a primary trade with a defined hedge or risk offset – whether a forward, an insurance clause for quality variance, or a correlated commodity hedge – and document the hedge ratio at trade time.
Operational due diligence checklist:
- Assay verification: independent lab report within 48 hours of transfer.
- Chain of custody: stamped manifests and photo logs for each lot.
- Payment terms: escrow or staged releases tied to quality milestones.
- Storage & expiry: temperature controls and re-test windows.
- Counterparty health: credit line, past performance, and dispute history.
Use a simple control matrix to keep decisions fast and auditable:
| Risk Control | Action | Trigger |
|---|---|---|
| Position Sizing | Cap at 4% MV (monthly volume) | New lot > cap |
| Quality Variance | Invoke refund/adjust price | Assay > tolerance |
| Liquidity Stress | Pause large exits, use staged sales | Spread widens > 150% avg |
Review cadence: formalize weekly P&L and operational checks, with a monthly stress-test that scenario-maps price moves, counterparty default, and logistics failures. A playbook that’s written, rehearsed, and trimmed after each volatile week turns discretion into discipline – and keeps both buyers and sellers positioned to survive the squeeze and benefit from the rebound.
