FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT L e a r n t o b e a P r o f i t a b l e Tr a d e r ! Master your Forex Risk Management
INTRODUCTION • Risk management is a very debated topic in forex trading. There are traders who adopt very different risk management methods to make the same amount of profits. There is no right way to do it, only a way that serves the individual trader best.
FOREX RISK • The forex market is one of the largest in the world, we need to ensure when investing in this market that risk is minimised. Transactions are happening every day, markets are moving every second. Losses can be incurred as a result of exchange rates fluctuating.
A SIMPLE MISTAKE MANY TRADERS MAKE WHEN TRADING FOREX • The biggest thing to remember when investing money into the forex market is that you should never trade with money that you can’t afford to lose.
UNDERSTANDING RISK MANAGEMENT IN FOREX • In order to improve your forex risk management, you should always have a tested trading plan which will be tested with realistic risk parameters. The time you spend creating a trading plan will not be wasted as this is your staple when it comes to trading. Without a direct plan, you will surely fail. • Always ensure you are using stop losses, trading in forex without a stop loss will not end well. This is your safety net, ensure it stays in place on all your trades.
RISK MANAGEMENT IN DAY TRADING OR SCALPING • Leverage and margin are big factors in trading. Throughout the day your margin can increase dramatically. If you have too many trades on, you will suffer. To ensure this doesn’t happen, make sure your position size for each trade is reasonable and low risk.
CONCLUSION • From following the basic points above, you will have a good foundation of managing risk parameters in trading the forex market. Just remember larger losses will also make you fail, ensure you minimise losses as much as you can.
