Why do traders recommend risking only 2% per trade?

[Barun P Mondal]

Actually when you taken risk you had been a change for gaining. But for this high risk you can fallen. So the expert suggest for taken few risk. But if you know risk management you can taken more risk.

We know ,no risk no gain, so risk is a common matter of the trad if any body don't take any risk he will not go to his aim please and we know if risk 2% it is not bad for a professional trader.

the experienced trader will provide advice to open a position with a volume of only 2% of the volume of our margins, because our margin will be safe if we do trade with a volume of 2% only, because the margins we are able to withstand huge losses.

Forex is very risky but 2% is not high risk. I all time prefer 2-5% risk per trade . But 2% is better for big investor because 2% profit is very small for a small investor but it is safe..

5% risk is good and 10% risk is also good but with high risk comes high loss and if you loss much of your trading equity, then the amount that you will have to gain back will be bigger and the balance with which you will do the work will be smaller. If instead you risk 2%, then you will still have 98% with which to gain back 2% which is easier. If you lose 50%, then you will only have 50% to gain back 100% (the lost 50% which is equivalent to the existing 50%) which is more difficult.

traders should be risking just 2% in every trade that they open in forex trading so that they can manage to have a good amount of risk control in their trades. This is the reason why we are successful, MM works for all traders in forex.

the more free margin you are left with the longer your trades can be able to bear the volatility and also it let you take advantage of the better opporutnities market offer time to time, so spending little on a trade is only wise ideea.

that's great, the better we trade the more familiar we are with a pair of characters, we'll be dancing with the market if we are able to trade properly, look for top and bottom at a price very carefully

I am able to danger even over 2 hundredth as a result of on behalf of me forex remains secure sufficient on behalf of me and that i will still take a lot of danger however not sum danger simply ought to management and create some calculations that what quantity risk are often taken out there. I simply take danger that I will pay for and that i am assured of obtaining absent by means of that danger.

instead we just have to lower my risk in our trading, we are safe and 2% of the capital loss is included in the trade that can make you safe and also can make you better control the emotions that you have trade
