Act as a risk management expert. I am considering a trade in [input stock, e.g., 'NVIDIA (NVDA)']. Conduct a "pre-mortem" analysis for this trade. Assume that in 6 months, the trade has gone horribly wrong and resulted in a significant loss. Describe the three most likely scenarios or reasons that would have led to this failure. For each reason, suggest a specific risk-mitigation strategy I could have implemented beforehand (e.g., specific stop-loss strategy, hedging with options, position sizing rule).
