FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT

Whats your risk % per trade?
Or should i say, whats your risk appetite?
To be a successful forex trader. You will need to have a proper money management system.
It starts with identifying what level of risk % per trade will you risk.
As a guide, a safe and good risk percentage will be from 1% 3%.
Anything higher than 3% will be relatively risky.
Why is this so.
If you understand, the forex market can do anything.
Even if you are sure this is the MOST perfect setup.
It MAY NOT end up the way you expected it to be.
Why?
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
First, you must understand that anything can happen in the forex market.
Just for example, even if it is the most perfect setup. If a major institution pumps in a large sum of money at that period of time. It can change the direction of the market for a short time frame.
And when the retail investors see the market moving in the direction stipulated by the major institution, they will then follow suit and enter the same way.
WHICH causes the movements in the market.
But of course, this doesnt happen always.
What im saying is, anything can happen in the forex market.
So even if you are the best forex trader in the world. You will not have a 100% winning rate as well.
You will still lose as the market can do anything.
Which is why, it is not wise to have a high risk per trade.
Forex Risk Management For example, if a trader risk 10% per trade.
And a series of unfortunate events happen to him, (maybe its a distraction, maybe theres an earthquake etc)
As a result, he made a series of 5 losing trades.
He would have wipe of 50% +- of his trading capital because he risked 10% per trade.
And with just 50% left, it will be hard for him to make back his loss.
So if you see what i meant.
Forex Risk Management For example, if you risk 2% per trade.
With a series of 5 losing trades. You would only lose 10%+- of your capital.
Which is not to bad.
With a good trading system, we can easily make back the money loss.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
But here comes the big question.
What is your risk appetite?
You see, there is absolutely no point into asking you to risk 1% per trade.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Capital $5000
Risk of 1% = $50 per trade.
If at the back of your mind, you do feel that $50 per trade is too little.
Then you will most likely find and trade even more trades that you usually should in order to make more money. Right?
Therefore, the correct way to set your risk % per trade varies with different individuals.
You must ask yourself.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Will you be satisfied with
$50 per trade or
$100 per trade or
$150 per trade
based on the capital of $5000
Once you got an answer, you got your risk percentage.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
Remember,
1) Your risk percentage cannot be too high. As mention a good gauge is 1% 3%.
2) Your risk percentage must meet your risk appetite. There is no point in risking 1% if you find the amount too little and does not satisfy your hunger.
So there you go.
Once you have set and decided on your risk % per trade.
STICK FIRMLY TO IT!
For example, in a series of trades. You cannot have eg. 1% on 5 trades, then 3% on 5 trades etc.
Because if you play it this way, and what if you make money on the 5 trades with 1% risked, and lose money on the 5 trades with 3% risked. (which usually happens!)
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!
Therefore, stick firmly to the risk percentage per trade which you have set.
Eg. If you set 2% risk per trade.
From now on, every trade you take You will risk 2% per trade.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
This way, you will be consistent and you are on the right track to success.
This is part 1 of the 2 series of Forex Risk Management.

I sometimes enter the market by 3% of risk capital
This percentage is very small and used in the accounts of small micro
Enter the times, but 30% sure if the access point and a successful deal

I Use Low risk by 3% from the account
But I sometimes venture to a very large up to 30%
But we must be cautious when entering into the market of that magnitude
Percentage of risk is measured on the size of the account is it a small or medium or large, and also measured the size of Pluto, which will be accessed by the transaction

if I think it depends on each trader, I use the risk per trade of about 2-5%, it also depends on market conditions that support. if I do not trade too risky because there is still tomorrow.
good luck :good:

with minimal risk of 2-5% as it is written you., about how much profit you get. whether each month,. ,, It looks like it's also good management.,,,

hi, please accept this fact. There is also truth behind money management, you can follow any follow mm like above. but , dont try to fix monthly target. market condition is not same at all. if you fix target, then you will try to work for long. its better to copup with market.

i risk 4% of capital per trade and not more than that and i have risked 20% of capital previously and lost my account. so i have rectified my mistake and make profits wth less risk

me support aur resistence dekh ke risk decide karta hon..pehle se hi apne man se kuch decide nahi karta..mujhe ye tarika bahut safe lagta hai

The more you risk the more you can expect to earn, but in expectation of big earning we should not take unreasonable and high risk, so better to go trading with reasonable stop loss that is at instant support or resistance and instant target and stick to that.

for percentage risk i have for trading is about 1% until 20% from capital. but befire that we must learn about market condition and make planning to nex step when trading. if in that day have a big risk we must just open 1% until 8% from our account.

i am using 1% risk and sometime it depends on market condition . if any pair moved too much then i decided to take 2% to 5% risk highest.
But your risk should be less then 5% otherwise it must be risky.

I see that everyone starts to review the Administration of capital because it has become difficult to search for a successful strategy

Do not enter more than 1% of your account!

And you will find and see what were not imagine never

I used a risk ratio of 3% of the capital which is appropriate for me because a lot and lost a lot when you gamble by the largest of these lost in 2 minutes $ 300
Since then has taken the decision not to raise the proportion of the loss of 3% of the capital and the capital management firm successful

risks that should be taken by the trader is a risk that has been tailored to the strategies and systems used and in accordance with the money management of each trader's own so it will be able to produce good decisions and correct.

l think the best method is when your risk is 2% your reward target should be at least %4 .when l trader can really follow money management rules. then will be very successful.our main problem is greed.sometimes doubling the capital in one day is not enough for us :)

lax
2012-01-15, 02:24 PM
The risk %age that a trader should usually use when opening a position in any market should be no more tha 20% and you should usually use a leverage of 1:20 and maintain it without compounding your margin.

i like the way nison puts it " risk reward is as important as the trade itself" that really says alot most of the time we get excited when we see a huge big candle and donot calculate our risk reward and most of the time the trade goes against us . we should always put risk management first

I think it should depend on the trading strategy one is using as to how much percent of capital one should invest on a single trade. I usually spend 5% of my balance on a single trade and so that i am able to open 10 trades at different levels, yes that is if our trade goes in loss some balance is not available for that.

For an account balance of 100 dollars, i choose to trade with 0.10 dollar lot size. This is a minimized risks for me and it it about less than 10, percent risk and it is a good risk reward ratio for any trader.

ericnyamu
2012-01-22, 12:05 PM
well i agree with every one here . a 3% of equity on ech trade is nice and profitable . this is how to know how to apply the 3% rule . calculate 3% of the equity you have . take the stoploss in **** and multiply with the lots you'll trade . the number you get shouldn't be more than the 3% of your equity you calculated earlier on

forex me kabhi bhi emotions ke aage jhukna nahi chahaiye kyunki emotions ka bahut bada role hota hai trade ke loss me
isliye trader ko hamesha apni strategy ke hisab se hi trading karni chhaiye na ki emotions aur greed ki madad se trading stratgey me changes lane hchaiye..jo bhiu trader forex me greed aur emotions pe kabu rakh ke trading karta hai usske liye trading abhut faydemand hoti hai

In my live trades, I risk usually 50% of my margin. This is because I consider my capital to be small. Now I intend to reduce my risk percentage per trade to 20%. It will be easier to earn nice profits and at the same time have some capital left if the trade goes bad.

My target maximum losses of 10% of the capital, because in the event of floating minus, I always hope the price will reverse direction again and get the profit. but if not I'll cut losses after hitting 10% of the capital.

I really appreciate your percentage. may be retained. The smaller the risk that we apply the secure trading activities we perform. remember the market can't be countered. We just try to keep it to survive and enlarge the opportunities of profit achieved

iwan
2012-02-17, 05:29 PM
I would put SL to cover the possibility of loss, up to 10% of my capital. because I'll give a little wiggle room when it should happen on the trade and floating minus the price reverses direction to collect the profit.

Risk percentage per is 5% of you total balance. but some traders think that is not enough they can take more risk. but i can say do not try to get more then 5% of the trading risk. it may make you big loss and your trades can be a flat position after a big loss, where you cannot go backward or go on.

To have confidence in you, you must learn how to manage your risk management, and try before you enter a transaction to use a very small lot to confirm your entry, but you must first create a plan to do all those steps .. after you will avoid all risks and you will earn a good profit.

maryosa
2012-02-23, 06:15 PM
My plan of risk is 10% of balance in every trade. Even if account very small, do not mind that but risk very little so that account will be available to trade if market very good. If risk too much, then will not have enough money in account to trade good market signal.

i am using multi money management but i will tell you about that i am interesting for it in this time in this example if you have simple strategy give you 50% success and this is generally random strategy you make 1:1 ratio stop loss and take profit this mean you will get 50% prospect for each of them and you will get 50% amount to loss and win, if you change the lot size to double after you loss for 3 level you will get good result.

sometimes i just take the higher risk when i saw a good chance in front of me and i was sure for it that i could take it with safe..
5 % - 10 % ...and with this i can get more profit ...i am a scalper so i just need a little time for it and the target is always touched by the market
the important thing here that we have to know the target with relevant

It must not be different for all because this leads towards loss and do not take percentage of your equity always consider your current trade. I risk 3 times of my margin used.

examin

I sometimes enter the market by 3% of risk capital
This percentage is very small and used in the accounts of small micro
Enter the times, but 30% sure if the access point and a successful deal
i think that 3% of capital is big risk on your capital at long time trader can lose all capital slowly , trader must have no fixed risk on the management mean change the lot size by changing the ballance.

Expert traders know to make use of the risky Forex trading into a winning trades. We have to remember that if we dont take meaningful risks then we just wont make a lot of money. We also know that too many traders are trying to protect the money they have now to minimize loss. What they end up doing is minimizing income. Day trading or only risking a 2% margin per trade wont get us much in the end. Why risk a little when we are still risking. If we are certain that we will make a profit, then go higher on the risk. If we think it wont do well, and we are certain we will lose so we set the amount low, why trade in the first place?

depending on the style of each trading scalp trader, trading days ... an experience of risk management that any beginner should read and follow I think people often risk management is less than 3%

I always take the risk of not more than 40% I think it is for me very much because I always had a habit of doubling the value of lots that are experiencing losses
then I can cover losses only through such strategies

sinaga
2012-03-13, 12:26 PM
what you use the percentage as much as it is in the trade is not afraid to be hit by Margin Call brother. It seems to me too much. I use a percentage of 3-5% of the funds I had to trade. and even then I only take advantage of 20-30 pps in a day. trading risk you very big brother

money management is a must,, i use less than 2% from capital, so can hold up many pips.. depending the leverage we used. in instaforex i use leverage 1:1000
i use this leverage to save my trading..

adahidayat
2012-03-14, 03:04 PM
my risk factor is to do not risk more than 10% of my capital..i will always open trades which only risk my 5% of my capital...but if i think that there is more chances that market will favor my opened positions...then i will take more calculative risk and risk about 10% of my capital...but it is not wise to risk more than 10% of capital....

risk management is so important... i risk my 2.5% of balance per trade... by the way, i have a certain rules of opening trade... i divide my lot into 3 parts and make each trade if the trade goes against me 1/3 of my stop loss. thus gave me little loss but grater profit... you should try!

maximum lot that I use in every position is 0.1 lot. I can give good reason, because I was the type of trader who likes to open a lot of positions when the previous position was floating loss, rather martiangle techniques. I really like the technique, and hated. essentially the maximum overall lot is approximately 20% of the total margin that I have.

i always place many pending orders. in a day, i place about ten up to twenty PO, which they must have 200 pips balance, if the price against my price, i don't confused. i don't care the price makes floating, i think it is fate the price will go up dan down. with the good and strong balance, i can get many profits rather than loss..

maximum lot that I use in every position is 0.1 lot. I can give good reason, because I was the type of trader who likes to open a lot of positions when the previous position was floating loss, rather martiangle techniques. I really like the technique, and hated. essentially the maximum overall lot is approximately 20% of the total margin that I have.

mere account me bahut hi kam paisa hai is waja hse me bhi chota lot size se hi trade karta hon
maine ab tak zyada se zyada 0.02 ka lot size trade kiya hai..isse zyada nahi kiya

I tolerate the risk of loss a day at most 5% of total capital. Within a week I make a composition: 5 x trading - 2 x 5% + 3 x 5% (profit). With mental readiness, I was routinely getting 30-100% profit per week.

me aise fix percentage rakhne me bharosa nahi rakhta..me to hamehsa yahi koshish karta hon ki market ke support ko dekh ke stop loss lagay karu aur apni equity dekh ke trade kiya karu..mere khayal se money management yahi sikhata hai ki equity aur support dekkh ke trading akrni chahaiye

I use 25% to trade as well as tolerance for risk of loss, so if there is a floating minus almost close to 25% then I re-analyze the possibility of a reversal or not, if not then I have to give up those losses to close the position, or set up hedging positions if still in doubt, and put another entry position in the direction when the reversal is begin.

For me Anala gamble more than 5% of the capital ...
And sometimes, if circumstances compelled me to gamble only 7% even if you lose I can compensate for the loss
Not be large ...

i think that 3% of capital is big risk on your capital at long time trader can lose all capital slowly , trader must have no fixed risk on the management mean change the lot size by changing the ballance.

I normaly risk 2-3% of my account per trade. Cause I follow my money management rule very strictly and I love money management. Cause I know that how effecient a strategy is without money management it is nothing.

silverfx
2012-04-08, 10:28 PM
actual a professional tradr will not use more than 3% risk.but i used big risk on last friday night and holding long position.i used 32% risk of balance in my volume and i am worrie about this bad mistakes.so lets see what happen with me.

depending on how you dare to sacrifice your money. there are traders who make use of full lots in trading. some are only 10%. each trader has an individual individual trading style. but its not safe to the point of trading using a capacity greater than the ability of your trading capital.

anoha
2012-04-09, 09:10 AM
For me will not venture more than 5% of the capital
In a few cases, increase to 7% if confirmed that the price will come back again at least to the point of entry and exit from the deal without profit ..
nothing more

I use a pretty big risk, because I feel confident with my analysis. on average, I use a 5-10% risk. but at certain moments when I was convinced by my analysis then I could just use a 40% risk of loss. even, sometimes i use 60% risk.

FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT

Whats your risk % per trade?
Or should i say, whats your risk appetite?
To be a successful forex trader. You will need to have a proper money management system.
It starts with identifying what level of risk % per trade will you risk.
As a guide, a safe and good risk percentage will be from 1% 3%.
Anything higher than 3% will be relatively risky.
Why is this so.
If you understand, the forex market can do anything.
Even if you are sure this is the MOST perfect setup.
It MAY NOT end up the way you expected it to be.
Why?
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
First, you must understand that anything can happen in the forex market.
Just for example, even if it is the most perfect setup. If a major institution pumps in a large sum of money at that period of time. It can change the direction of the market for a short time frame.
And when the retail investors see the market moving in the direction stipulated by the major institution, they will then follow suit and enter the same way.
WHICH causes the movements in the market.
But of course, this doesnt happen always.
What im saying is, anything can happen in the forex market.
So even if you are the best forex trader in the world. You will not have a 100% winning rate as well.
You will still lose as the market can do anything.
Which is why, it is not wise to have a high risk per trade.
Forex Risk Management For example, if a trader risk 10% per trade.
And a series of unfortunate events happen to him, (maybe its a distraction, maybe theres an earthquake etc)
As a result, he made a series of 5 losing trades.
He would have wipe of 50% +- of his trading capital because he risked 10% per trade.
And with just 50% left, it will be hard for him to make back his loss.
So if you see what i meant.
Forex Risk Management For example, if you risk 2% per trade.
With a series of 5 losing trades. You would only lose 10%+- of your capital.
Which is not to bad.
With a good trading system, we can easily make back the money loss.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
But here comes the big question.
What is your risk appetite?
You see, there is absolutely no point into asking you to risk 1% per trade.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Capital $5000
Risk of 1% = $50 per trade.
If at the back of your mind, you do feel that $50 per trade is too little.
Then you will most likely find and trade even more trades that you usually should in order to make more money. Right?
Therefore, the correct way to set your risk % per trade varies with different individuals.
You must ask yourself.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Will you be satisfied with
$50 per trade or
$100 per trade or
$150 per trade
based on the capital of $5000
Once you got an answer, you got your risk percentage.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
Remember,
1) Your risk percentage cannot be too high. As mention a good gauge is 1% 3%.
2) Your risk percentage must meet your risk appetite. There is no point in risking 1% if you find the amount too little and does not satisfy your hunger.
So there you go.
Once you have set and decided on your risk % per trade.
STICK FIRMLY TO IT!
For example, in a series of trades. You cannot have eg. 1% on 5 trades, then 3% on 5 trades etc.
Because if you play it this way, and what if you make money on the 5 trades with 1% risked, and lose money on the 5 trades with 3% risked. (which usually happens!)
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!
Therefore, stick firmly to the risk percentage per trade which you have set.
Eg. If you set 2% risk per trade.
From now on, every trade you take You will risk 2% per trade.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
This way, you will be consistent and you are on the right track to success.

To have confidence in you, you must learn how to manage your risk management, and try before you enter a transaction to use a very small lot to confirm your entry, but you must first create a plan to do all those steps .. after you will avoid all risks and you will earn a good profit.

trader ke paas jitnmi zada equity hoti hai wo utna zada risk le sakta hai kyunki uske paas back up ke liye kafi acha paisa hota hai
chote traders ko market me bahut soch smajh ke trading karni chahaiye kyunki unke margin call lagne ke chances bahut hi zada hote ai jabki bade traders ko margin call bahut hi kam lagti hai

the risk are taken and decide upon equity ..suppose some times i m taking risk of 20% and most of the time i m taking 5% risk for just one trade ..but professional trade never do this ..the maximum risk may be per trade 1-2% .i m small investor so i m not following hte money management all time ..may be this is the only reason i m losing most of the time

sumonmia0526
2012-04-14, 07:11 PM
with minimal risk of 2-5% as it is written you., about how much profit you get. whether each month,. ,, It looks like it's also good management.,,,

this is not good at all to take 2-5% risk just for one trade ..the best part of risking should be 1% for one trade .but when someone having huge equity they will risk more and more coz they having the back up money so they can recover any kind of loss in any time

Tozammel

Risk management is very very important in forex trading because this is a risky business. The profit or loss will be higher if the risk is high. On the other hand profit or loss will be lower if risk is lower. The risk will be within 0% to 5% or maximum 10%. Even larger banks take risk up to 5%. So it is best to minimize the risk.

Though it look worthy to use lower risk then reward but some time due to lower capital it is a waste of time to spend very little part of capital on a trade and at such time i think we should not stick to the hard and fast rule of using a fixed percentage of risk, though if having enough capital using lower risk will be wise.

i am using multi money management but i will tell you about that i am interesting for it in this time in this example if you have simple strategy give you 50% success and this is generally random strategy you make 1:1 ratio stop loss and take profit this mean you will get 50% prospect for each of them and you will get 50% amount to loss and win, if you change the lot size to double after you loss for 3 level you will get good result.

2-5% ka risk percentage kjafi safe rehta hai
maine aise traders bhi dekhe hai jo ki stop loss hi nahi lagate kyunki unke pas equity itni zada hoti hai ki wo bade se bada loss sambhal lete hai jab tak wo deal profit me na a jaye

Well when I open a business with a lot of one and a capital of usd 100 usd I regulation 5 pips of profit and 10 pip stop loss so I negotiated with 10% of my capital, it is not very risky, but c is very advantage, but I advise you to make a good money management with making any trades.

I think it's very risky. by using 10% of capital, capital means we only have a resistance 100 pips only. This strategy is very dangerous if we are OP in the European session and the pair of sharp price movements. unless we use it in the session sideway

For me I am in all transactions not risking more than 5% of the account despite the fact that my account is too small and a little profit with this risk, if confirmed, sometimes of a return to price again venture with 10% not more than that ...

today i get margin call because i greedy, i hold open possition and at least i get margin call for the second time.:(

yes, it is very difficult to get a profit of 10% per day, even when using good money management, we will easily MC, because the target of 10% we should be trading aggressively, and this is very risky. This in my opinion, because I've been there

my risk percentage is not always same. but my average risk percentage is 10 percent. sometimes i take the risk up to 50 percent when i will be over sure about my trade. small leverage with lower lot size is good for trade and it will keep the account in more safe place.

indeed we should take the risk of only 10% of the amount of our capital, so that when we are wrong OP, we still have enough capital for the OP again. if we use a risk 50%, when we are wrong OP, then we soon run out of capital

I think one should do his analysis before taking any decision of cashing out or investing.we should not take unreasonable and high risk, so better to go trading with reasonable stop loss that is at instant support or resistance and instant target and stick to that.

hazard organization is really a vital factor of winning forex trading. Actually it should be designed by the account size of a trader. It should be chosen shrewdly so that it can support the trader in unfavorable cases. For example, we can take 0.25 volume per order for $1000 asset. That means risk level is 0.025%/pip.

Please mikal as I said before I don't have a good idea about that Risk percentage I have a good Idea about the money management of a treading but I thing this is also an importance thing for treading so please mikal can you ex plane it

I want 20% to max 30% gain from my account.. because of my low capital I need to aim for higher return :p
this is why my daily target will be always not more than 1% to 3% perday..

2012-04-25, 02:22 PM
I always take the risk of not more than 40% I think it is for me very much because I always had a habit of doubling the value of lots that are experiencing losses
then I can cover losses only through such strategies

Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT

Whats your risk % per trade?
Or should i say, whats your risk appetite?
To be a successful forex trader. You will need to have a proper money management system.
It starts with identifying what level of risk % per trade will you risk.
As a guide, a safe and good risk percentage will be from 1% 3%.
Anything higher than 3% will be relatively risky.
Why is this so.
If you understand, the forex market can do anything.
Even if you are sure this is the MOST perfect setup.
It MAY NOT end up the way you expected it to be.
Why?
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
First, you must understand that anything can happen in the forex market.
Just for example, even if it is the most perfect setup. If a major institution pumps in a large sum of money at that period of time. It can change the direction of the market for a short time frame.
And when the retail investors see the market moving in the direction stipulated by the major institution, they will then follow suit and enter the same way.
WHICH causes the movements in the market.
But of course, this doesnt happen always.
What im saying is, anything can happen in the forex market.
So even if you are the best forex trader in the world. You will not have a 100% winning rate as well.
You will still lose as the market can do anything.
Which is why, it is not wise to have a high risk per trade.
Forex Risk Management For example, if a trader risk 10% per trade.
And a series of unfortunate events happen to him, (maybe its a distraction, maybe theres an earthquake etc)
As a result, he made a series of 5 losing trades.
He would have wipe of 50% +- of his trading capital because he risked 10% per trade.
And with just 50% left, it will be hard for him to make back his loss.
So if you see what i meant.
Forex Risk Management For example, if you risk 2% per trade.
With a series of 5 losing trades. You would only lose 10%+- of your capital.
Which is not to bad.
With a good trading system, we can easily make back the money loss.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
But here comes the big question.
What is your risk appetite?
You see, there is absolutely no point into asking you to risk 1% per trade.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Capital $5000
Risk of 1% = $50 per trade.
If at the back of your mind, you do feel that $50 per trade is too little.
Then you will most likely find and trade even more trades that you usually should in order to make more money. Right?
Therefore, the correct way to set your risk % per trade varies with different individuals.
You must ask yourself.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Will you be satisfied with
$50 per trade or
$100 per trade or
$150 per trade
based on the capital of $5000
Once you got an answer, you got your risk percentage.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
Remember,
1) Your risk percentage cannot be too high. As mention a good gauge is 1% 3%.
2) Your risk percentage must meet your risk appetite. There is no point in risking 1% if you find the amount too little and does not satisfy your hunger.
So there you go.
Once you have set and decided on your risk % per trade.
STICK FIRMLY TO IT!
For example, in a series of trades. You cannot have eg. 1% on 5 trades, then 3% on 5 trades etc.
Because if you play it this way, and what if you make money on the 5 trades with 1% risked, and lose money on the 5 trades with 3% risked. (which usually happens!)
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!
Therefore, stick firmly to the risk percentage per trade which you have set.
Eg. If you set 2% risk per trade.
From now on, every trade you take You will risk 2% per trade.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
This way, you will be consistent and you are on the right track to success.
This is part 1 of the 2 series of Forex Risk Management.
Stay tuned for the 2nd part.

hi
For percentage risk i have for trading is bout 1% until 20% from capital . but befire that we must learn about market condtion and make planing
to next step when trading. if in that day have a big risk we must just open 1% until 8% from your account


we face the real risk of any trade that we do in the forex market is the number of news to be released on a couple pair that we use as our place to trade, so we also should be able to customize every strategy that we run is as good as possible and stay focused at some positions that sometimes we are wrong to analyze

profits are not so good we get this usually leads to more things that make our trading position is less convincing, with a percentage so small as possible to secure funds from the margin call is the best way for us to be able to make a profit commensurate with the strategy that we run

Nganti
2012-05-09, 07:29 AM
now, in my trade i just use 2% from my balance to make trading, i think that is very save from margin call, no matter our profit just small, but allways continously, that more better than have big profit but fast in Margin Call.

My risk percentage is 1% normally .I think it is best . But sometimes I take 2%-3% risk . As my opinion low risk(1%) is comfortable for trading . 3% risk make a big pressure . Trading with comfort it is profitable .

I can loss 3 times by taking 3% risk and I profit more times by taking 1% risk .
I saw it was a good risk management. but how to run your management strategy so that you can limit the risk of a maximum of 3% in any trading...? Please explain your strategi. thanks....

I just use 2% per trade but since I'm doing hedging I can increase my trade many times more. Problem with hedging though is that how you going to breakout with this strategy. As the more you trade the more you also open opposite position and what happen if you going to get many opposite position? Then you get lock and once its happen you really need to take risk in order to earn.

I only risk 5% per trade because I am still learning, I think it is a safe risk because I have to lose 20 times before I get margin call. but it is hard to lose that many times especially when you have a good strategy. but smaller is advisable for beginners.

In my live trades, I risk usually 50% of my margin. This is because I consider my capital to be small. Now I intend to reduce my risk percentage per trade to 20%. It will be easier to earn nice profits and at the same time have some capital left if the trade goes bad.

I usually do to measure the loss in trading is how many pips each possible price movement reversed and then I saw how much resistance I have pips, pips from resistance that we have normally I would use about 1% for stop loss.

aamu
2012-05-26, 01:24 PM
Though it look worthy to use lower risk then reward but some time due to lower capital it is a waste of time to spend very little part of capital on a trade and at such time i think we should not stick to the hard and fast rule of using a fixed percentage of risk, though if having enough capital using lower risk will be wise.

trader ke paas jitnmi zada equity hoti hai wo utna zada risk le sakta hai kyunki uske paas back up ke liye kafi acha paisa hota hai
chote traders ko market me bahut soch smajh ke trading karni chahaiye kyunki unke margin call lagne ke chances bahut hi zada hote ai jabki bade traders ko margin call bahut hi kam lagti hai

If we do not use risk management and not to use stoploss a bad thing I think every trader has different risk management, I usually start trade with risk management of each transaction is 3% of capital

100 to 1,000
2012-05-27, 09:23 AM
my risk per trade is 2% i dont risk anything more than that on a trade , money management is what is making me a successful trader not my strategy or my indicator

i also used to risk 2% per trade but then i got scared because when consecutive losses happen i often lose 3 to 4 times in a row and sometimes even 5 times in a row and it made me frustrated.
that is why i now lowered my risk per trade to just 1% to protect my capital and also to protect my emotion.
i am much happier today than ever...

however, if your trading strategy is good then it's up to you how much you want to risk per trade...

meri trade ka risk percentage fix nahi hota kyunki me hamesha apna stop loss market ke support aur resistance ke hisba se set karta hon..mujhe lagta hai ki market ke support aur resistance kabhi fix nahi hote is wajah se mera stop loss bhi fix nahi hai

100 to 1,000
2012-05-30, 12:28 PM
if you use small risk per trade you can stay longer in the market while sustaining big damages from big drawdown and also you will worry less.
high risk often leads to margin call and it is not easy to deal with the emotional aspect when we get margin call.
but everyone should use the risk level that is suitable for them because this is the best way.

100 to 1,000

i read people using too huge of a lot size like 10% risk per trade and they said they can make money using this method.
this makes me wondering is using high lot size also a viable trading method or it was just a luck on their part?

Equity risks are being taken to decide .. Setting a set of a 20% risk of IM and the IM to be in a single operation by a 5% chance often .. no professional or trade, but .. 1-2% maximum risk per trade. im small investors, so im not always follow the money management hte .. maybe this is the only reason I'm losing most of the time

Risk of not less than 4%, 2% target bonus, if I think this is the best way. Reseller is in fact followed the rules of money management. Then you will be very successful. Our main problem is greed. Sufficient capital for us one day in some cases a double.

am taking 30% of capital for order. and 30 pips as stoploss. that means 10% risk of capital. so its my risk percnetage per trade. but i have the do only one trade per day. now a days. am try to weekly one trade.. so my take profit target will be increase and also my stoploss. with this.. may be i take small order. but take 10% risk of my capital.

i'm reading something new and it said that the risk per trade must also follow the level where the technical analysis level is.
so if the trading strategy that i use dictate that the SL should be 27 then it means i will have to risk 27 pips.
this makes my risk per trade different for every trade.

I only trade 2% of my total funds and my loss tolerance is 15 pips and my profit tolerance is 15 pips also. Meaning if I have 30 pips profit I put 15 pips as my exit. I'm happy that I'm earning so far using this strategy. I don't really earn much in forex but some how I'm earning and for me that is good sign. Because its only shows that I'm preventing myself in losing money in forex trading.

I use a calculation that I have programmed in Excel, so every day I have a target and if not according to plan then I'll replace it when the other day .. I prefer to use 3% and not more than that because if the market is not supporting it will be harmful to our investments

I trade in one direction often and so i keep adding trades as i see better prices this was not possible if i spent big portion of my equity on a single trade and so yeh i try to spend 2-5% only on one trade, whenever i spent higher i got into losses faster, even blown my account.

You use risk for your per trade 2%-5% of your equity or balance.I mean you use minimum 2% and maximum 5% of your total balance.I think this is suitable for everyone.If you use this rules than you gain your total trade.

I always use a percentage of the maximum loss was 3%, due to the risk of 3% then it will have many opportunities to be trading on the next deal, if you use a risk of 10% then it would be very risky to spend your money. unless you are able to generate profits consistently.

Forex is an international business trading system in here a lot of people in different country of the world invest a big amount of money invest here . So here is present a lot amount of risk if a trader can not operate this business properly. But i think that if he know about this properly and know about risk management properly he can reduice hid risk and can take profit properly. Even if he face with risk to take profit he can take small risk it may be maximum at 5% .So every body should be care about it.

Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT

Whats your risk % per trade?
Or should i say, whats your risk appetite?
To be a successful forex trader. You will need to have a proper money management system.
It starts with identifying what level of risk % per trade will you risk.
As a guide, a safe and good risk percentage will be from 1% 3%.
Anything higher than 3% will be relatively risky.
Why is this so.
If you understand, the forex market can do anything.
Even if you are sure this is the MOST perfect setup.
It MAY NOT end up the way you expected it to be.
Why?
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
First, you must understand that anything can happen in the forex market.
Just for example, even if it is the most perfect setup. If a major institution pumps in a large sum of money at that period of time. It can change the direction of the market for a short time frame.
And when the retail investors see the market moving in the direction stipulated by the major institution, they will then follow suit and enter the same way.
WHICH causes the movements in the market.
But of course, this doesnt happen always.
What im saying is, anything can happen in the forex market.
So even if you are the best forex trader in the world. You will not have a 100% winning rate as well.
You will still lose as the market can do anything.
Which is why, it is not wise to have a high risk per trade.
Forex Risk Management For example, if a trader risk 10% per trade.
And a series of unfortunate events happen to him, (maybe its a distraction, maybe theres an earthquake etc)
As a result, he made a series of 5 losing trades.
He would have wipe of 50% +- of his trading capital because he risked 10% per trade.
And with just 50% left, it will be hard for him to make back his loss.
So if you see what i meant.
Forex Risk Management For example, if you risk 2% per trade.
With a series of 5 losing trades. You would only lose 10%+- of your capital.
Which is not to bad.
With a good trading system, we can easily make back the money loss.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
But here comes the big question.
What is your risk appetite?
You see, there is absolutely no point into asking you to risk 1% per trade.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Capital $5000
Risk of 1% = $50 per trade.
If at the back of your mind, you do feel that $50 per trade is too little.
Then you will most likely find and trade even more trades that you usually should in order to make more money. Right?
Therefore, the correct way to set your risk % per trade varies with different individuals.
You must ask yourself.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Will you be satisfied with
$50 per trade or
$100 per trade or
$150 per trade
based on the capital of $5000
Once you got an answer, you got your risk percentage.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
Remember,
1) Your risk percentage cannot be too high. As mention a good gauge is 1% 3%.
2) Your risk percentage must meet your risk appetite. There is no point in risking 1% if you find the amount too little and does not satisfy your hunger.
So there you go.
Once you have set and decided on your risk % per trade.
STICK FIRMLY TO IT!
For example, in a series of trades. You cannot have eg. 1% on 5 trades, then 3% on 5 trades etc.
Because if you play it this way, and what if you make money on the 5 trades with 1% risked, and lose money on the 5 trades with 3% risked. (which usually happens!)
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!
Therefore, stick firmly to the risk percentage per trade which you have set.
Eg. If you set 2% risk per trade.
From now on, every trade you take You will risk 2% per trade.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
This way, you will be consistent and you are on the right track to success.

Yes, I've heard from the professionals, so that risk is set up as many as 3%. Thus we will be able to trade safely. But, since I still use a small deposit, I took a pretty big risk, 10-20%, and I'm not too disappointed if it ends later loss.

Use Low risk by 5% from the account
But I sometimes venture to a very large up to 35%.It happens generally when the market is in a certain pace....
But we must be cautious when entering into the market of that magnitude Percentage of risk is measured on the size of the account is it a small or medium or large, and also measured the size of Pluto, which will be accessed by the transaction

Well this again is inconsistent strategies used to get the pip, tend to be very difficult to transform and followed by the novice trader, that can be cultivated using that can be understood by a novice trader sir, thank you

I usually risk 10% these way I can let a trade manuver as far and as very fast as posible without risking much of my account, because when you start trading you usually lose a lot when you are unable to detect where the market is heading to, and you should be very careful where you put your money.

i try to make very very slow profits due to the fact that i do not want to run myself and my account into any kind of troubles and i am able to use the 4Hours charts and the support and resistance method for opening a position.

there shouldnt be any trouble trading the 4hrs chart. its basicaly vey simple but you should be really careful with how you trade it because you will have a lot of bad trades and losses to avoid these, make sure your entry poinds are the exact and avoid a lot of trades,som any trades can ruin you.

Though it look worthy to use lower risk then reward but some time due to lower capital it is a waste of time to spend very little part of capital on a trade and at such time i think we should not stick to the hard and fast rule of using a fixed percentage of risk, though if having enough capital using lower risk will be wise.

There is also the truth behind the management of fortunes, is possible to you follow follow the millimeter as at the top. But, do not try to fix the monthly target.

sometimes i use high risk percentage per trade because the situation is good (the market is active and volatile).
but sometimes i use low risk percentage per trade because the situation is too dangerous.
so for me it really depend on the situation.

It is always better not to risk more than 3% of your account balance.

Most of the people who are successful in forex trading uses low risk percentage.

Some might risk more than 3% because of lack of experience.

I also risked more than 3% when I was new to the subject.

But with the experience I understood that it is the main reason for my downfall.

alright i got your analysis and as for me i think the very best risk management i can always risk in my trading is just 3 percent because with 3 percent i can always trade with my mind at rest and never trade with emotion so i think 3 percent is a very good risk management we can always think about, best of luck as we trade

Yes, by taking the risk of 3 percent, we will not be burdened with sorrow. We still have a capital of 97% if we suffer a loss of 3%, the amount of risk that still can be easily replaced tomorrow or the next day. 3 percent of risk is applied in a disciplined only by the rational trader.

2012-06-21, 05:23 PM

I tolerate the risk of loss a day at most 5% of total capital. Within a week I make a composition: 5 x trading - 2 x 5% + 3 x 5% (profit). With mental readiness, I was routinely getting 30-100% profit per week.

I think you are pretty good MM. it helps us to target MM based on pips prisoners so that we are not hasty in taking back the transaction, if such prisoners are limited, do not open the position again so we will be more secure capital.

my risk percentage is not always the same. but my average risk percentage is 10 percent. sometimes i take the risk up to 50 percent when i will be over sure about my trade. small leverage with lower lot size is good for trading and it will keep the account in more safe place.

FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT

Whats your risk % per trade?
Or should i say, whats your risk appetite?
To be a successful forex trader. You will need to have a proper money management system.
It starts with identifying what level of risk % per trade will you risk.
As a guide, a safe and good risk percentage will be from 1% 3%.
Anything higher than 3% will be relatively risky.
Why is this so.
If you understand, the forex market can do anything.
Even if you are sure this is the MOST perfect setup.
It MAY NOT end up the way you expected it to be.
Why?
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
First, you must understand that anything can happen in the forex market.
Just for example, even if it is the most perfect setup. If a major institution pumps in a large sum of money at that period of time. It can change the direction of the market for a short time frame.
And when the retail investors see the market moving in the direction stipulated by the major institution, they will then follow suit and enter the same way.
WHICH causes the movements in the market.
But of course, this doesnt happen always.
What im saying is, anything can happen in the forex market.
So even if you are the best forex trader in the world. You will not have a 100% winning rate as well.
You will still lose as the market can do anything.
Which is why, it is not wise to have a high risk per trade.
Forex Risk Management For example, if a trader risk 10% per trade.
And a series of unfortunate events happen to him, (maybe its a distraction, maybe theres an earthquake etc)
As a result, he made a series of 5 losing trades.
He would have wipe of 50% +- of his trading capital because he risked 10% per trade.
And with just 50% left, it will be hard for him to make back his loss.
So if you see what i meant.
Forex Risk Management For example, if you risk 2% per trade.
With a series of 5 losing trades. You would only lose 10%+- of your capital.
Which is not to bad.
With a good trading system, we can easily make back the money loss.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
But here comes the big question.
What is your risk appetite?
You see, there is absolutely no point into asking you to risk 1% per trade.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Capital $5000
Risk of 1% = $50 per trade.
If at the back of your mind, you do feel that $50 per trade is too little.
Then you will most likely find and trade even more trades that you usually should in order to make more money. Right?
Therefore, the correct way to set your risk % per trade varies with different individuals.
You must ask yourself.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Will you be satisfied with
$50 per trade or
$100 per trade or
$150 per trade
based on the capital of $5000
Once you got an answer, you got your risk percentage.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
Remember,
1) Your risk percentage cannot be too high. As mention a good gauge is 1% 3%.
2) Your risk percentage must meet your risk appetite. There is no point in risking 1% if you find the amount too little and does not satisfy your hunger.
So there you go.
Once you have set and decided on your risk % per trade.
STICK FIRMLY TO IT!
For example, in a series of trades. You cannot have eg. 1% on 5 trades, then 3% on 5 trades etc.
Because if you play it this way, and what if you make money on the 5 trades with 1% risked, and lose money on the 5 trades with 3% risked. (which usually happens!)
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!
Therefore, stick firmly to the risk percentage per trade which you have set.
Eg. If you set 2% risk per trade.
From now on, every trade you take You will risk 2% per trade.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
This way, you will be consistent and you are on the right track to success.

I would not recommend it for students reason it is a risky one and you need to be updated about the currency and should be ready to risk at times or never play with emotions. As a student, I do not think it is really wise to invest in forex or any sort of exchange trading because they would surely lack the experience and if they are really in, then forums like indian - forex can really have them trade with profit

The more you risk the more you can expect to earn, but in expectation of big earning we should not take unreasonable and high risk, so better to go trading with reasonable stop loss that is at instant support or resistance and instant target and stick to that.

indeed sir, I agree with you that in our trading business run better we are not a big ambition to be able to get great results with short periods of time. because the steps are very risky. we better get a reasonable result but can be smoothly and with very little risk.

my risk percentage per trade is very small compared to the expert traders on this forum who risk 5% or even up to 20%.
i only risk 1% or 2% per trade because my trading experience is still very young so i don't dare to risk too much.
if using big risk i will use small account.

I only use 2% mostly. But since now I have 25 open buy position that means I loss about 75% of my capital already and I only have 25% free margin left. I know I make a wrong move by doing averaging and I know I make a wrong move by trading emotionally. I just feel that I want to earn some small pips that I earn up getting bigger loses pips. I'm hoping that in few days eur/usd will going to recover because this is the only way to earn back my loses.

it is a real loss suffered when the market does opposite direction and through the SL. It's just a matter of willingness alone, for how much loss. I myself also willing at any time losses reaching 30 percent. I often profit him above the target.

Just to be clear that I was not going to recommend "INTEGRATED" - I just used an extreme example of trying to support a point.

My idea was that the risk of 2% per trade rule was extracted from traders who generally occupy positions in several markets simultaneously, and therefore often a greater risk of their net equity of 2%. Try to apply this rule to the negotiation of a market is wrong.

Risk management is a personal thing anyway, then you are quite right to say "I do not want to put myself in that situation." You must trade within your comfortable limits, as we all are.

Risk of percentage per trade is 1% - 2%. Forex trading is very risky due to leverages available with very less money you can gain more or there may be a big losses as well. Forex trading has many financial frictions.

I do not actually keep any percentage. What I do instead, I keep my volume low like I have an investment of 1000 dollar and I have been trading with .05 lot, at very rare case I trade with .10 lot. Some of my trades go up to 200 dollar loss, but I do not close them. I keep them until they come and give me some profit.

I usually use 3 to 5 percent of my capital amount for stop loss and about twice for my take profit limit, sometimes when I am losing all the money I try to remove this limits and risk all the money left for me :) that's the risk ;)

I can attribute my profits to good money management. As yet, my skills are still rather infantile but I can see conclusive proof that true success only results from an efficient money management skill. On trde when it is in good timing, this gives more on better deal to reassure and profit maker

i additionally accustomed to risk 2% per trade however i acquired scared because when consecutive deficits happen i frequently lose three or four occasions consecutively or even 5 occasions consecutively also it helped me frustrated.

that's why now i decreased my risk per trade to simply 1% to safeguard my capital also to safeguard my emotion.

i'm much more happy today than ever before...

however, in case your buying and selling technique is good then the choice is yours just how much you need to risk per trade...

;730654']Yes but according my experience, you should know your limits as a Forex trader. It mean you must have to be aware of your knowledge about the market movements. Because you will be entering any trade on the basis of that knowledge

yes we need to know and understanding in this trade, when it started trading we must always look at why the price will go from there is where our job to take advantage of either a little or a lot of clubs have been pleased to be able to profit

Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT

Whats your risk % per trade?
Or should i say, whats your risk appetite?
To be a successful forex trader. You will need to have a proper money management system.
It starts with identifying what level of risk % per trade will you risk.
As a guide, a safe and good risk percentage will be from 1% 3%.
Anything higher than 3% will be relatively risky.
Why is this so.
If you understand, the forex market can do anything.
Even if you are sure this is the MOST perfect setup.
It MAY NOT end up the way you expected it to be.
Why?
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
First, you must understand that anything can happen in the forex market.
Just for example, even if it is the most perfect setup. If a major institution pumps in a large sum of money at that period of time. It can change the direction of the market for a short time frame.
And when the retail investors see the market moving in the direction stipulated by the major institution, they will then follow suit and enter the same way.
WHICH causes the movements in the market.
But of course, this doesnt happen always.
What im saying is, anything can happen in the forex market.
So even if you are the best forex trader in the world. You will not have a 100% winning rate as well.
You will still lose as the market can do anything.
Which is why, it is not wise to have a high risk per trade.
Forex Risk Management For example, if a trader risk 10% per trade.
And a series of unfortunate events happen to him, (maybe its a distraction, maybe theres an earthquake etc)
As a result, he made a series of 5 losing trades.
He would have wipe of 50% +- of his trading capital because he risked 10% per trade.
And with just 50% left, it will be hard for him to make back his loss.
So if you see what i meant.
Forex Risk Management For example, if you risk 2% per trade.
With a series of 5 losing trades. You would only lose 10%+- of your capital.
Which is not to bad.
With a good trading system, we can easily make back the money loss.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
But here comes the big question.
What is your risk appetite?
You see, there is absolutely no point into asking you to risk 1% per trade.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Capital $5000
Risk of 1% = $50 per trade.
If at the back of your mind, you do feel that $50 per trade is too little.
Then you will most likely find and trade even more trades that you usually should in order to make more money. Right?
Therefore, the correct way to set your risk % per trade varies with different individuals.
You must ask yourself.
Forex Risk Management Eg. Will you be satisfied with
$50 per trade or
$100 per trade or
$150 per trade
based on the capital of $5000
Once you got an answer, you got your risk percentage.
Forex Risk Management Whats your Risk % per trade?

Forex Risk Management
Remember,
1) Your risk percentage cannot be too high. As mention a good gauge is 1% 3%.
2) Your risk percentage must meet your risk appetite. There is no point in risking 1% if you find the amount too little and does not satisfy your hunger.
So there you go.
Once you have set and decided on your risk % per trade.
STICK FIRMLY TO IT!
For example, in a series of trades. You cannot have eg. 1% on 5 trades, then 3% on 5 trades etc.
Because if you play it this way, and what if you make money on the 5 trades with 1% risked, and lose money on the 5 trades with 3% risked. (which usually happens!)
YOU WILL LOSE MONEY!
Therefore, stick firmly to the risk percentage per trade which you have set.
Eg. If you set 2% risk per trade.
From now on, every trade you take You will risk 2% per trade.
NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS.
This way, you will be consistent and you are on the right track to success.

I risk not higher than 2% of my capital on my demo account. I'll still use this percentage when I start trading with a real trading account to lessen the risk I'm taking on every trade.

I risk not higher than 2% of my capital on my demo account. I'll still use this percentage when I start trading with a real trading account to lessen the risk I'm taking on every trade.

from what i read from this thread and this forum most of the traders are using either 1% per trade or 2% per trade.
and some other traders use 5% to 10% per trade. i think it really shows the personality of the trader who is aggressive and who
is moderate risk taker.

I am trading with risk of 3% of my account balance. and i hope i will get profit 3% too.
I prefer not open position again until the previous position being closed. its to avoid margin call.

I like to risk only 0.5% to 1% in per trade.. So that at least I can trade 100 trades with my capital.. I know that the ratio is higher.. but with small capital I need to risk big to make any significant profit.. and I know that the more I can remain alive on this market the more chance I will get to make profit or even come back to the previous position after making huge losses..

with the use of 3% how much leverage you use., whether the benefits achieved in accordance with the security of capital. I want to be an explanation of your system, I am a beginner in this business, please guidance ...

Percentage of risk is measured on the size of the account.It depend on your own is a big risk or small.I'm use to risk of 5% and earnings by 8% to 10%. I am negotiating with a small amount.

Risk management is really a vital factor of successful forex trading. Actually it should be calculated by the account size of a trader. It should be chosen wisely so that it can support the trader in adverse cases. For example, we can take 0.25 volume per order for $1000 investment. That means risk level is 0.025%/pip. But it will be effective only if we use SL. It would then counted by the pips quantity.

well i saw a comment about risking 30% of the capital. i used to trade like this at my first month of trading live, with a hope of making huge profit, but then i lost all my money i just 3 trades. i realised how stupid i was..
