Why do traders recommend risking only 2% per trade?

[simrin]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?

[fxtenam]

there is a proverb goes that '' no risk no gain''. so the more you take risk the more you can make profit. but if you fail to make profit in high risk, you have to count a heavy loss which can be disastrous for the health of your capital.
may be that is why many trader recommended to take the risk not more than 2%.

I agree with your view the more we want to gain the more risk we need to take. 2% in a day is quite reasonable profit we can expect on a winning day and for that we need not use most of available margin but a small portion of it will be sufficient and then our account can bear major volatility and we can wait to close trade in profit.

[realman]

It comes from money management part. Money management is important part of Forex health. So risk management also important. No way to avoid this term.
We expect 2% risk vs 3% profit. if one trade take risk 10%. It will be to much. It means become a rich very quick. Actually not possible for one. We need ability to control. All new trader make 10% or more risk. For that maximum number trader go out by lose. 10% risk mean 10 trade possible. If all trade be lose. That to much.
1% risk enough and 2% may maximum.

Traders are always prescribing that because it is a good amount of risks that we can take in forex trading. Small risks are good enough for all traders since it protects their accounts from losses.

[dmambi]

There is nothing like that to risk only 2% of your account in trading, but it is safe and less risky to do this. There are traders who take risk of around 10% of there investment and still survive here. But it is better to start with smaller one and slowly change if required according to our trading capacity.

in forex trading you need to make risk management to avoid the loss of many due to the high risk involved in forex trading.and 2% for the trade is a safe point to keep us from losing capital or margin call.so we can trade with little to consistently generate profits without a hight risk....

recommend onty 2% is suitable moneny management for me. i follow 2% moneny management daily. if i loss 2% i dont open new trade of running day. i wait for next day to trade by following 2% risk.

[newentry]

this is the safest way for the trader if they want to keep survive and do not want to blow their account with fast but some of them will take the higher setting to get the profit with faster, and usually the scalper will do that, but they have the reasons for it and they know how to overcome unwanted condition

[cac4a26]

2% daily is suggested. It agency become a affluent actual quick. Actually not accessible for one. We charge adeptness to control. All new banker accomplish 10% or added risk. For that best amount banker go out by lose. 10% accident beggarly 10 barter possible. If all barter be lose. That to much.

because if we make mistakes in the open position, meaning that if the loss of our position that we created earlier, we still have 98% of capital for new positions, so far from the margin call

forex trading asal main akfi risky ha or es main kafi loss k chaker hota ha es liye sab traders jo seniors hane woh ham newbies ko yahi kaehtey hane k sirf forex traeding main 2% risk he use karo ye hamrey liye sahi ha

[yogesh]

When using little part of your capital you are left with major portion of capital and even if you used risked money you need not worry much as you can easy cover up that amount in your future trades but using bigger portion on a trade may be risky as then you can lose your capital making it difficult to trade in future.

[dweet]

The main idea of only 2% is to survive if anything goes wrong. Survival is the first task, after which comes making the money.

We should clearly understand that good traders are, first of all, skillful survivors. Those who also have deep pockets can additionally sustain larger losses and continue trading under unfavorable conditions, because they are financially able to. For an ordinary trader, the skills of surviving become a vital requirement to keep own forex trading accounts alive and be able to make profits in the long run.

[lights]

well, since 2% is safe for our trading. because by using 2% as a risk, we only lose a maximum of 2% of our capital if we are wrong position and experience loss. if we use more than 2%, then the risk is also more than 2%

[sudsind]

It depends upon your own risk appetite, most of the traders who recommend 2% are professional traders who trades large amount of money, and the main criteria for them is not larger profits, but good profits with the main motto of capital protection, it is best not to use more than 5% of your account to minimize risk of equity loss, many traders swing trade with 2-5% of their account

[kaji]

indeed we have the ability to trade in accordance with our capital so that we do not really feel depressed in the trade. because if we trade our capital exceeds the capabilities we will not be able to feel calm and comfortable ....

[tarun2305]

kyuki agar aap naye hain aur aapke pas jyada capital anahi hai to jyada risk lene se aapki margin call bahut jaldi aa jayegi,,,isliye risk pers\centage jir\tna kam hoga utna acha hoga aapke liye

[Ronak]

only 2% risk of equity is safe trading....but i usually trade on the basis of my analysis and my condfidence..and also i take more risk with low equity because of my greeed

[mastri296]

well, since 2% is safe for our trading. because by using 2% as a risk, we only lose a maximum of 2% of our capital if we are wrong position and experience loss. if we use more than 2%, then the risk is also more than 2%

I agree with your opinion, because by using a volume of 2%, the margin we will be able to withstand huge losses, so without the use of stop loss account we would be very safe.

yes you keep risk in 2% OR 5% why because your money is 100% and every position you risk with 2% so to risk your 100% money you should make 50 positions 50*2% egal 100% . in this 50 positions , if you are a good trader you think that you can loss 25 positions , for me i can loss in 15 positions and gain in 35 postion you have a profit

[bdboy]

Its depends on your money management. But many broker say its safe to loss 2% of your deposit amount. It is less risky. If u take more risk u can more gain also. but 2% is recommended by many successful brokers.

[lights]

I agree with your opinion, because by using a volume of 2%, the margin we will be able to withstand huge losses, so without the use of stop loss account we would be very safe.

even with the risk of 2% I still use a stop loss. because of my traumatic experience several times a margin call. because without a stop loss, even if only using 2%, we can still have a margin call

[nurhidayah]

even with the risk of 2% I still use a stop loss. because of my traumatic experience several times a margin call. because without a stop loss, even if only using 2%, we can still have a margin call

margin call is actually very painful, so that we also have to be careful in carrying out some strategies that we can indeed have to adjust to some of the transactions that can make our trading to be safe and comfortable, this is what we should actually pay attention to the carefully and we adjust the pair that is quite safe and away from the margin call

[bestlooser]

I am ready to risk even more than 2% because for me forex is still safe enough for me and I can even take more risk but not total risk just need to control and make some calculations that how much risk can be taken out there. I just take risk that I can afford and I am confident of getting away with that risk.

If you are a trader you will know the answer for sure. Sometime market changes by a great margin rapidly. Such a situation can give you a margin all of a sudden from no where. And also there is a chance that the market will bounce back all of a sudden. So if we trade with 2% we are risking only a small portion of the deposit and we will be able to make good profit by trading in the reverse order.

There are no restrictions that you must take the risk of only 2 per cent you can also risk your capital at the rate of 5 per cent but the experienced traders advise their junior colleagues to use minimum percentage of their total capital so that they must secure their remaining balance in case of sudden market crash or such other situation.

[joget]

because 2% is a risk that is generally accepted by almost every trader, and does not cause excessive emotion or remorse when trading losses. because forex trading is influenced by emotional and mental or psychological from the trader it's selves.

What I do understand from the statement of only risking 2 % of your money per trade is, we set 2 percent of total balance as our stop loss. In case our stop loss it hit, we have 49 times more to trade. Therefore our chance to recover back our loss is there.

if we use 2% of our capital to be used as a stop loss, then we open a position with a lot less than 2% of our capital, for example, only 0.5%. because if we use 2% for every open position, it is still very risky

[Forexboy]

When using small portion of your capital you are left with much of the capital, and even if you used the money risked do not worry as much as you can easily cover up that amount in your business future but using a larger portion of business can be risky, because then you can lose your capital making it difficult to trade in the future.

[anoha]

The proportion of risk in forex vary from dealer to another for me, I venture to 5% of the capital, and sometimes many, because 10% of capital must I have a few of the high risk so I can make a profit and the patients well. But also vary from one strategy to another

[dweet]

Never risk more than 2% per trade. This is the most common rule in trading and goes a long way toward explaining why most forex traders lose money. Forex trading books are full with stories of traders losing one, two, even five years’ worth of profits in a single trade gone terribly wrong.

[fajar]

perhaps it is a risk management plan of their own, and it went well ..
and many were advised to use only 10% of the margin that I have ..

[coba]

maybe it will keep the margin was available, so that when a loss would be little impact ..
and if you use 100% of the margin, then you will be taking the biggest risk ..

[jg6073727]

if you use 2% of your capital and you have made a mistake in opening a trade and market is going against then you can hold you trade up to 300-400 pips. and can wait for market becoming back

[mojacko]

traders recommend risking 2% per trade because it is safer and you have to lose 50 times before you lose all your money which is almost impossible to lose 50 in a row. even a gambler can't lose that many times. so it is a very safe thing to do. but when you lose 10 straight you must stop and analyze what you did wrong so you can make up for it.

[dzfx]

if you are too scared to enter trades for you to use this alternative ..
so you rather avoid the losses that will whack you ..

[taufiqbd]

Forex market is the highest risky financial market in the world. So in forex trading risk management is very important. Maximum expert trader say that 2% risk take in a particular trade because if you loss 3 trade that means 6% loss and you win 2 trade 5% each then your total earning profit is 4%. That means your overall performance winning position.

[naziafarhan]

This is all about the money management cause when you trade then you can not say that you are surely gonna win. So for saving your account it is recommended that you should use the 2% of your account so that it does not make any change of the account.

[ishvara]

Such recommendations are usually made in forex trading business because this business is risky and can be tricky as well. We should limit the amount of risks that we apply in any trading we are doing in forex markets.

[ishvara]

hi
i agree with your opinion because bye using a volume of 2% the margin will be able to with stand huge losses so without the use of
stop loss account we would be very safe ,

Yes if we traders can apply just one or two percent risks, it suggests that we can have only small losses and we traders would be able to carry our trades very well and in an easy manner as we trade.

[bablu7832]

I tell you why they suggest to risk only 2% per trade,I suggest you to risk only 1% of you capital in any trade.This one of the suggestions from risk management.If you risk more than that then definitely the profit will be more and so the loss will also be more.The market may change its trend at any time if you have not done fundamental analysis then you will not be knowing it.If you are trading with small amount like 20-50 $ than you may only survive for few hours or your account may get wiped out any moment.In order to trade long it is advised to risk only 1-2% of your capital.

[aina]

It is important from the risk management and the money management point of view. It is always good to have the losses in control meaning that you loose as you can afford to loose. Otherwise the harms are of greater intensity.

[edmar6969]

2% risk is for traders with fear.
Having a limit in your trading strategy will minimize your profit. I think higher than 2% is much better. 10% is the ideal risk, especially if you have bigger capital.

humaya chiya kay hum apna app ko yah samjh dain kay agar hum zayda investment karain ga tu zayda mila ga aur hum yah karta hain tu hum kamyab ho sakta hain lakin agar hum chiyan tu app risk lay sakta hain

[anoha]

For me, I see that in the case if capital is large it must zero risk of a significant proportion of capital and 2%, a good percentage. However, if the Rasalmal small must be the risk by more I'm risking 5% of the capital and sometimes 10% because of capital 100 $

The reason is all about risk management policies that traders in forex need to be applying in their trading of forex markets. Risking 2% secures our trades from having mighty losses in forex trading business.

[kapil_chemical_07]

There is a little tricks brother. You saw the advertisement in some professional website.They want to attract people to increase their business. So, they use,"Only 2% risk." such types of lines.Do you understand?

[khaled6969]

Because the risk of only 2% of capital is not acceptable to many and few are considered best suited to the experts As for why 10% or 20% of the deal that trading is not guaranteed to have to lose 15 and win the deal 5 and go all the money

[hazem ahmed mohamed]

i think there is no constant percentage for the traders who take the risk in there deals it depends on your experience and your capital and your money management .

[traderapes]

professional traders are usually recommended to risk 2% of our capital position because if we are wrong and we lose, do not be too hard to restore our losses. Compare, we are risking 50% of our capital. To restore it we must again risking 100% of our capital.

[vanigota]

Forex is very risky market most of newbie trader dont follow there risk management system and they face lose. and i think thats why every one say use only 2% of you balance. It is safe for trader i think.

my profit target is proportional to the risk of 5%, and it is an easier calculation is done

there is no one said that u will risk 2% of ur money ..it depend on the trading strategy and traders mentality ..but risking 2% which means very low percentage of risk and this can be possible to recover very quickly ..just stink about u have 1000$ and u are risking 2% which mean daily 20$ profit or loss ..if u win 20 days then u have made 400$ a month which is almost 40% of ur total investment .

[hitesh]

only 2% risk of equity is safe trading....but i usually trade on the basis of my analysis and my condfidence..and also i take more risk with low equity because of my greeed

[gulab]

May be they recommend because to not loss much of the amount in a single trade and if a trader loss a big amount then it is very hard to return to the orignal position of account.

[puri]

I agree with your view the more we want to gain the more risk we need to take. 2% in a day is quite reasonable profit we can expect on a winning day and for that we need not use most of available margin but a small portion of it will be sufficient and then our account can bear major volatility and we can wait to close trade in profit.

[spread]

I think that the risk of 2% is good and safe but it must also be consistent with capital from. I always use risk management in each of my transactions that I think it is 2-5% will of my good

[Tozammel]

Because it is risk free to take only 2% risk per trade.
Large banks take only 3% risk per trade.

[boniez]

I also do not know, because I do not like that precentage, usually the trader might use such risks because they just love to get a low profit as long as they do not deal with high risk

[omofx]

when you are risking 2% of your capital is a good money management that means you are not exposing your trading capital to much risk, which will make you a good trader

[forextrader38]

It is clear that a''.'' Do not drink, so that the more risk you take, you can make more profit. But if you are not at risk for a profit, it is a big loss, which can be a devastating health equity.
For this reason, the risk factor may not exceed 2% do not recommend that.

[puri]

this is the safest way for the trader if they want to keep survive and do not want to blow their account with fast but some of them will take the higher setting to get the profit with faster, and usually the scalper will do that, but they have the reasons for it and they know how to overcome unwanted condition

[marjuck]

taking risk is totally depend on you or on your strategy. you can take the risk as you want if you have the proper experience. trader recommend a standard risk percentage by averaging all risk percentage. taking low risk increase your forex trading life and you can survive besides earning for long time.

[taqiniazi]

it is because , if you have huge investment then 2% is not a little amount that you put on risk. i think Stop Loss is best trading option for experienced and newbies

[hamadmuneer]

there is a proverb goes that '' no risk no gain''. so the more you take risk the more you can make profit. but if you fail to make profit in high risk, you have to count a heavy loss which can be disastrous for the health of your capital.
may be that is why many trader recommended to take the risk not more than 2%.

jba ap risk he nahi lo gay to app kamai be nahi kar sako gay risk lena chahye par achi tarha market ke trend ko samjh kar warna nahi bina samjhy lo gya to los krwao gya knowledge lain analysis parhain indicators dekhian phir risk lain

[sams880]

Many traders will advocate for the lowest risk per trade.This is measure taken to protect your account from a margin call.with a small risk like 2% per then its easier to recover even from a losing streak because the more your draw down is ,the harder is it to recover .personally i go to 5% maximum risk per trade.

[ashwini]

isiliye ki .. agar app loss karte hain.. to app ko ek chance rahta hain.. ki next trade kar sake. agar app yeh system follow nahi karte to app pura paise risk lete hain.. aur loss hone se koi chance nahi rahta back hone ka. so 2% risk is better.

[sazzad]

I think all of expert trader give suggestion to use 2% risk management because they know that this is the proper money management and most of the trader got success from this management, i think we all of trader should do it.

[barn]

with how to set up only 2% of each loss will certainly survive longer when we experience loss. the more loss it is to return it too long, depending on the percentage.

[jahangir2812]

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

[theniceone]

very nice, its mean you have strategies which you apply on the 2 or various of account, if one fail then other recover it, or what? but the concept of 2 % risk is not clear. the post above you is some how clear little.

[yogesh]

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

[ishvara]

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.

[ernestina]

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.

[Razu]

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..

[penjualdolar]

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.

[mdfarid]

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.

[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.

[hardworks]

Why do traders recommend risking only 2% per trade?

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?


This is due to risking is very bad habit in Forex trading. If you risks small, then you will become successful trader. Choose your way by this. If you use small risks, then you will not face emotions. You will trade freely. Even, if you lose in the deal, then you may easily recover in the next deal.

[digger_jim]

By trading a small portion of your equity, you prolonged your chance to wheather out a string of loosing trades. It is especially important when you just begin because, despite your high hope, the fact is all newbies face a serious string of losses long before they start gaining.

[milan]

It depends upon your own probability appetite, most of the traders who propose 2% are professed traders who trades oversize total of money, and the primary criteria for them is not larger profits, but right profits with the primary expression of chapter endorsement, it is champion not to use many than 5% of your relationship to disparage peril of equity expiration.

[nobby]

2% risk is recommended because of the risk in forex trading. If make trade with 2% then your tension will reduce when the trade is running and you will allow trade to go and meet take profit without interruption. If used more than 2% then you will always monitor your trade with fear that you will make big loss which is unhealthy way to trade.

actually every one now that Forex market is the most risky market in the world you can earn big money from the Forex business as well as you may loss all your money so every one recommended to you take only 2% risk in the Forex market so you will never loss

[nabila]

On every website, installation and all the friends of mine on play playscript that are trading from quite any term always say that one must switch with risking only 2% of his grapheme. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that job risking statesman than 2% of their record size but my topic is why this sign is so famous and suggested?

[Razu]

Forex is very risky for new trader but 2% is not high risk. Professional trader can not accept only 2% profit. Some people up to 5% risk every trade. But it is risky from 2%.

[ayusri]

I agree with your view the more we want to gain the more risk we need to take. 2% in a day is quite reasonable profit we can expect on a winning day and for that we need not use most of available margin but a small portion of it will be sufficient and then our account can bear major volatility and we can wait to close trade in profit.

due to the 2% will be easy mengembalikanya if los happen, imagine if we use 50% then if the los will be very long to return it and greatly affect our mental capital if we usd $ 500 and then los 50% or $ 250 usd it is a blow to our mental strong and very trace, because it must be constantly guard lest we run out of capital more than 20% for all trading, if only 2% then if the stalls will not be too harmful to our mental capital and, for that we keep the capital in trading with wise in the sense that with good management and funding arrangements with a neatly controlled according to plan we have made.

[penjualdolar]

conduct trade with volume risk margin is only 2% of us, it will make our margin will be very safe and will make us able to relax while we do the trade, so we'll have a good psychology and can control our emotions and greed.

[TauqeerHaiderRizvi]

[sufanw1]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?

Because the trader is not willing to take risks so he took 2% of the capital to take a position or open position. Thus with 2% would be safer to keep floating that occurred. I have just used 5% of the capital to open a position and determining the LOT or the volume that will be used.

[elking]

Because the risk by more than that may cause them heavy losses for the strategy, which worked out the percentage of risk varies from person to person, depending on how the currency in the market and be careful

[rathod]

i am using today 50% risk of my balance.i am worrie about this and no idea what should i do.i know this is a big mistakes and i have to pay for this.but still i have hopes.100 pips save in my hand and may be better to close my trades with losses.so plz dont use high risk more than 5%.

[aamu]

only 2% risk of equity is safe trading....but i usually trade on the basis of my analysis and my condfidence..and also i take more risk with low equity because of my greeed

[macblanc474]

there is a adage goes that '' no accident no gain''. so the added you yield accident the added you can accomplish profit. but if you abort to accomplish accumulation in top risk, you accept to calculation a abundant accident which can be adverse for the bloom of your capital.

[puri]

margin call is actually very painful, so that we also have to be careful in carrying out some strategies that we can indeed have to adjust to some of the transactions that can make our trading to be safe and comfortable, this is what we should actually pay attention to the carefully and we adjust the pair that is quite safe and away from the margin call

[hitesh]

because loss is more to happen in Forex than profits, it is risky business and you are trading among millions of traders
so you can't move the market in your way if your analysis was wrong
so it is better not to risk more than you can afford to survive longer in Forex

[nobby]

i am using today 50% risk of my balance.i am worrie about this and no idea what should i do.i know this is a big mistakes and i have to pay for this.but still i have hopes.100 pips save in my hand and may be better to close my trades with losses.so plz dont use high risk more than 5%.

If you risk 50% of our account, it will not do you much good when you make a loss. However, it is wise to set a stop loss of 100 pips but you should do that on only 20% of your account maximum in risk. This way when trade hit your stop loss, then you know that the trade was really bad but you lost only 20%.

[Fahad]

most of traders recommend 2 percent risking trade because they know that only one bad trade can be the reason of closeness of our accounts so we have to be careful while starting our trade

[sripanut]

If we use money management, we usually use risk 2% per trade, because we prevent from the margin call. We can set stop loss and take profit. So, by using risk 2% it is safe in forex trading. Usually new traders use over size of lot to get profit but that is not true.

[sripanut]

Senior traders recommend only 2% risk per trade. Because they have experience, and new traders do not have experience in forex trading. I think it is good to prevent margin call in forex. Usually new trader use over lot in making position.

[sharif203]

gain and profit is interrelated. If in a certain trade there is no risk associated the possibility of profit is very low. High risk may ensure high profit but there is also a possibility of suffering huge loss. I think 2% risk per trade is very much rational and effective for a traders trading in forex. it will better ensure profit associated with lower amount of risk.

[samcena33]

Traders are always prescribing that because it is a good amount of risks that we can take in forex trading as well as a small portion of it will be sufficient and then our account can bear major volatility and we can wait to close trade in profit

[zytuy11]

I accede with your appearance the added we wish to accretion the added accident we charge to take. 2% in a day is absolutely reasonable accumulation we can apprehend on a acceptable day and for that we charge not use a lot of of accessible allowance but a baby allocation of it will be acceptable and again our annual can buck above animation and we can delay to abutting barter in profit.

[raka999]

Forex or pro traders also recommended us to not lose more than 2% of capital.As if we lose more than 50% of out capital then it will be very difficult to make profits form that 50% capital to recover our losses.
you are right, I think the loss of 2% in a single trade is a healthy thing. you do not need to worry and stress in the transaction. These include a good money management. any good trader, would be to minimize losses and maintain his account of the margin call. so, this is a good recommendation.

[tamanna]

I think forex forum is a risky business but if you trade with experience and confident you will be success in future and your fear of risk decrease slowly just only 2%.

[joru]

Because if we risk 2% and lose it means that we can afford to lose in many trades like with 20% we can lose 10 trades and it become hard when trader invest little because at that time trader use more than 2% like he use 10% or 20% on the single trade and hence he take more risk and lose what he did not want to lose.

[grabbani]

The traders who all trade here they basically recommends 2% of trading as loss risk because in this volatile market there is none you can assure 100% that you will be earning money from this Forex trading here in Forex business.

[deep]

The proportion of risk in forex vary from dealer to another for me, I venture to 5% of the capital, and sometimes many, because 10% of capital must I have a few of the high risk so I can make a profit and the patients well. But also vary from one strategy to another

[mony1]

Because it helps in maintaining financial stability, in addition to that it will help to avoid some of the decisions that may not be taken in other cases,

[ernestina]

you are right, I think the loss of 2% in a single trade is a healthy thing. you do not need to worry and stress in the transaction. These include a good money management. any good trader, would be to minimize losses and maintain his account of the margin call. so, this is a good recommendation.

No loss is healthy dear even if you make a loss of 1%, you should find out how to correct the trend as long is it is within your power to do so. If it is just a one time occurrence, then it is not problem though.

[isbhacker]

Use common sense Is it good to risk 2% or 5% on same stop loss? yeah And the other thing is that if you risk 5% then it takes 20 bad trades to wash your account and on 2% it requires 50 bad trades.

[Abu Bakr Siddique]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?

It is because if you take more risk then in case of your failing in trading you may lose your whole capital within an hour.So you have to keep in mind always firstly you have to survive in Forex field to make profits.For this reason it is better to take 2-3% of your whole capital & probably this is the reason why traders recommend risking within this limits.

[hemaelsisy]

when you trade with 2% risky it may low percent but if you calculate your profit end of month it will be good and this percent keep your mind without worry

[Ksal33m]

Only 2% of your trading account, so there's nothing dangerous, but safer and less risky to do so. Approximately 10% of the risk of investing there are still traders who live here. It is one small but able to start our business, it is necessary to change slowly.

[forexchamp]

sir i don't know about this why do traders recommend risking only 2% per trader becouse i recently attached on this market and i have no idea about this

[miketega3]

professional Traders always advice forex trader to use 2% of thier trading account on a single position because forex trading is very risky so you need to protect your trading capital from loss

[Narr]

It's not very complicated, just manage its risk position. Obviously if you take a 5% risk per trade and that you will trade 5 to 10 times a day you face a big drawdown potential.

[cuongmom]

I agreed with you,you should use 2% account for trading because it is a safe number.But if you have only small account, you can use a max leverage and trade a big lot, it is risker but the risk is profit.when you have a big account and you can trade a small lot, it is safer,my advice is money management.

[worldforex]

On every website...forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking.... only 2% of his capital.... Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?????

[nterziev]

Math is not my strength...

But here the assumption is that you will hit a 20 win streak (I've never done it)

But what if you know the next trade will be a winner?? will you risk 25% or 100%??

I guess MM is about preserving capital, so it depends on your expectations...

[likun]

it is hard to find a low risk area in forex ,in my view i think the london time is best time for trading with the currency at that time there is a less risk of facing big loss at that area.

[kaji]

It is in order to implement risk management, where the trade is only 2% then it is possible to lose all our money in the forex market will be very small. in a profit in forex trading is important is not how much profit we get, but the important thing is consistency.

[osakwe]

i have seen rounds of this admonition of risking what you know you can loose, say 2% but i dont always go with that, i think 5% is reasonable on all the positions you open. it will protect your account.

[saim.asghar]

yar keun k agar 2 % risk karain gay to 50 loss trades main balance zero ho ga aur agar ziada risk karain gay to kam trades main account zero ho jae ga..

[njoroge5]

when you gain, the value of what you will gai will be 2% but you can be sue that the amount that you will lose will not be that much either, but to be sure of what you are doing, be a good account manager and avoid trading using many different strategies, just be a good trader.

[raju21]

It is always recommended to all newbie that they should trade by taking as low risk as they can. That is the only reason 2% risk is very popular. But you can take more risk if you like when you become an experienced trader.

[yogesh]

No opportunity is last opportunity, also we can not rightly judge the depth of a move, putting a small percent on a trade leave us with liberty to open other trades as more attractive levels as we have enough capital left.

[dhalsem]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?

in forex trading you need to make risk management to avoid the loss of many due to the high risk involved in forex trading.and 2% for the trade is a safe point to keep us from losing capital or margin call.so we can trade with little to consistently generate profits without a hight risk....

[kaia]

Of course it is one of the things we learned from risk management, using a 2% to the risk that we have, we still leaves 98% of trading capital that we can do. and the rest of the capital, we can easily to restore capital to the starting position, imagine what if the opposite happens?

[Maham Gill]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so?

trading main profit be earned hota ha or loss be earned hota ha esi waja sa trading main agr ap na profit earned karna ha to us ka sath sath loss be hota ha esi waja sa trading main loss be hota ha or profit be hota ha.

[vijai21]

2% is good for risk management.if anything goes more than this i think it will be very difficult to overcome unwanted condition.it is better to use stop loss even in 2% if anything happen like sudden changes in market.

[ghanchifarhan]

Because in this Risk ratio is not high and the percentage Large safety to a large extent Which would lead to the existence of a large safety Twelve of Commerce and there is no concern of loss of capital.and I think it is very important for trader. If you trade with you risk management and money management system then it can be good for your trading. I think every trader should follow money management system. I think use only 1% or 2% balance is very good.

[ahsankhan]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so?

may samjhta hun kay bina risk kay tu app aik achi trading karah he nahi sakta hain aur agar app na risk nahi liya tu app kaisa trading karain ga forex market may.

[mary7]

because when you are trading 2% you are minimising the losing effects nad you an be very god in trading and if the trade goes to the opposites and you dont know what you are doing you can just get into the market and understand that you cannot lose athat much, you have managed your account very well. but when you gain you will not have that much.

[prawirakbari]

actually its all about the risky management
we have to control it with the good management
so for me 2% is a good number to make the management of it

[Boss]

Traders recommend 2% risking of the total capital because during trading always you will not be having the winning trade some times you will also loss here so it is better to keep 2% of your capital for loss here in Forex trading.

[executor]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so?

2% set of risks, is the most secure way of trading. Whatever strategy is used, you are not burdened with excessive worry. Because when your position at odds with the market, or touch the stop losses, you only lose 2% of your capital. It will not create stress, I guess.

[hemaelsisy]

i thing 2 % risk is good in one position you may consider it very low but if you collect it at the end of month it will be more also it refer to the trader if trader want to make 100% profit in month i thing he is wrong

[Shamim Zaman]

i think,more then 2% is risky and less then 2% is a poor amount,so became safety the 2% rising is the best percent

[forextech]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so?

sir mujhe risk management ke baare me kuch khaas idea nahi hai kyun ke me abi forex market ko seekh raha hun is liye me nahi bata sakta is baare me kuch be

[iwan]

probably due to the 2% is a very safe if we do forex trading. and by risking 2% also can get a pretty ideal. but sometimes we also have to take extreme decisions with a high risk of trafficking only when the market is really possible.

[safayet39]

Why we should chose only Forex and not other online making money programs? so this is a very simple question.The reason is that there is not any other reliable and trusty program on which we can trust and invest the money.We have seen so many PTC and HYIP sites which turn into scam so fast and steal the money of thousands of people.Another reason is that Forex is a very job to do.It can be done within home too.The chances of making money in it are much high because the market is active 24 hours of a day.

[obaid2012]

Business is always a risk because it is a good amount of foreign currency trading can be taken to remedy. There is a small risk that is not good enough for all the operators, because it protects their loss account.

[youssef]

very nice, its mean you have strategies which you apply on the 2 or various of account, if one fail then other recover it, or what? but the concept of 2 % risk is not clear. the post above you is some how clear little.

[farhannasir]

There is nothing like that to danger only 2% of your consideration in dealing, but it is secure and less dangerous to do this. There are investors who take chance of around 10% of there financial commitment and still endure here. But it is better to begin with lesser one and gradually modify if needed according to our dealing potential.

[shero]

It is in order to implement risk management, where the trade is only 2% then it is possible to lose all our money in the forex market will be very small. in a profit in forex trading is important is not how much profit we get, but the important thing is consistency.

also I think take profit option is so important , we must determine our target before entering the trade , so we can neglect any surprise could occur

[van]

All traders who trade here they essentially recommend 2% of trade as risk of loss because in this volatile market there is nothing you can guarantee 100% that you will get money from this Forex trading here in the Forex business.

[rakib20]

if any trader give his command in forex business and his command isn't accept he can be loss his dollar. so i think for that reason traders commend is risky.

[hemaelsisy]

i thing 2% risk is very good for take profit 4% if we collect all position at end of month if there are profit we may get 15% profit i thing very good percent so if i trade with 10% so there are more profit but we may loss money with ten position losses but with 2 % we will keep our money from losing

[skboyra]

there is no risk no gain. so alyaws you have to take risk if you want to make profit. but there is a limitation of your taking risk. if you are a novice then never take high risk because you can be frustrated for future so traders recommend two percent risk only in day.

[kan]

Because nothing, risking a person by only 2% Hwa maintains more than 97% capital investor in safety and that the best piece of advice must be adhered to by the novice in trading should be risked only this percentage is 2% would be subject to loss of more than rolling a professional who has the ability to handle both risk different market

[Rifat]

I think the right time is when the feeling we're in good shape, good luck to us who are impartial, the bustling market position <is running> when we're having a spirit that we can control but not excessive. when it is in my opinion as a beginner is a good time for us to do trading.

[aalul]

Because nothing, risking a person by only 2% Hwa maintains more than 97% capital investor in safety and that the best piece of advice must be adhered to by the novice in trading should be risked only this percentage is 2% would be subject to loss of more than rolling a professional who has the ability to handle both risk different market

This also suggest that traders suffer losses because of likelihood that they can be repeated several times, to withstand losses in a single trading session on the rate of 2% then this gives leeway to make things better in the next session and give tolerance to subsequent loss even though all the people do not want to lose but who can ensure profits, forex trading there is nothing definite, only the business and reduce risk rather than eliminate it

[blackmask982]

because it is safe to you loss . forex is a money making machine and also it is loosing machine . many trader trade in forex market every day . but most of the trader are looser . why they are looser ? because they can not do well in money mangement system also they take risk over their balance or ability . so you should follow the risk management rules . not too much greed about profit always think about your loss system

[computers]

because loss is more to happen in Forex than profits, it is risky business and you are trading among millions of traders
so you can't move the market in your way if your analysis was wrong
so it is better not to risk more than you can afford to survive longer in Forex

[cozard007]

I don`t know for those traders that recommends that kind of risk, the thing is that traders needs to be at the edge of the market at always, with small risk is big capital.

[Autitt]

I am a new trader at forex and I am trading in forex for quite sometime now. I have learnt that it is not wise to risk all of your money at once, as you may end up loosing all of them. so you may invest 2 percent.

[solidperson]

if u conformable with risking 10% or more per trade then do it yourself ..there is no rules or restriction here ..but yes most of the traders will say risking 1-2% per trade which means u have at least 50-100 trade opportunity ...continuously 50-100 losing is quite impossible for me..the more u have the trading chance the more u have winning chance too

[zibon]

Risk management is one kind of money management part. So a good forex trader is always take daily 2 % risk to there capital.because trading forex is too risky.

[badar]

This is a very good value for the risks per trade. But the problem is that the traders will have to be sure of having a larger capital in order to risk this much less and have a proper gain in their accounts.

[mokas]

yes i agree with that, the forex market is very risky and only the solution is to make a risk management and money management so as to avoid a highrisk and lose the capital

[deepak]

2% set of risks, is the most secure way of trading. Whatever strategy is used, you are not burdened with excessive worry. Because when your position at odds with the market, or touch the stop losses, you only lose 2% of your capital. It will not create stress, I guess.

[muhammadusmankhan]

so sorry i haven't heard of this kind of percentage thing from any other trader but yeah i have heard that keeping low trade percentage will always help us to cover our losses if happens but using 5% to 10% is also low and recommended.

[donep]

Actual rate of 2% is not absolute. Depending on the strategy of each trader. But for beginners it is recommended that the risk is borne by a maximum of 2% to the psychology of beginners do not bear an excessive shock when experiencing loss.

[jahangir2812]

only two per cent of the danger level of safety is better than ten percent. For your we are not really chasing the ambition involving any kind of buying and selling income. only two per cent level of danger managing is often a strenuous technique and if steady will be a success.

[mojan]

In forex a loss is a loss there are no big or small losses so when you say 2% thats a small loss but its still a loss thats why traders preffer a small loose becouse its better than a big one.

[riya]

Yup it is because if we are use much than 2% of the risk and when we got the loss on it, maybe it can state too big and because of loss too big puddle the trader can existence emotion on their trading, so exceed use not many than 2 % per trade

[victorforex]

Traders say to use only2% for risk in the trading of the forex because it make good management of money and with only risk of 2%, trader will have ability to take care of loss that come to trading position.

[nurhidayah]

I fall in with with your inspect the more we desire to advance the more consequence we ask to accept. 2% inward a day of the week is quite an fair profit we can await on a fetching day of the week and designed for to we need not manipulate mainly of presented gross profit margin but a minor component part of it leave be sufficient and so therefore our version can birth John Roy great excitability and we can hang on to closing trade in profit.

trade can indeed benefit us as a trader can be seen from the way we understand some of the opportunities that we can gain from the trading process in which we live to be able to reap the benefits are commensurate with the trade that sometimes we must live with some of the positions that we can align with the method of trading we personally

[kakuly]

Why do traders recommend risking only 2% per trade?

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?

forex pairs price up-down vary fast. sometime it fall much. and trader don't backup his capital. and several time trader must in loss, and some time close this account. but if use only 2% margin then its easy to over come any risk.

[lagarfeld]

It's like betting. 2% is a small percentage so If you fail it's not a big catastrophe you can retry confidently while if you lose big you'll quickly want to get it back and mess things up.

[aimisfx]

Fa we use money management, usually use 2% risk per trade, because we keep the margin call. We can set stop loss and take profit. Therefore, the risk of 2% secure in the Forex market. Typically new players using lot size for a profit, but this is not true. I think it's best to avoid margin calls in forex. Usually, the new operator to use a whole lot to make room.

[fazeel khan]

agr ap ka risk jitna he kam hoga ga ap ki trading utnji he safe hogi agar ap kar trade may 25 percent risk rekhti hai jo insan tension or depression mai ajata hai or trading bhi safe nai hoti hai is liye trade 2 percent risk set krte hai

[napkin]

I agree with your perspective the much we deprivation to benefit the many peril we beggary to acquire. 2% in a day is quite valid profit we can judge on a winning day and for that we necessary not use most of useable margin but a weensy object of it present be ample and then our account can contain educatee volatility and we can move to adjacent trade in profit.

[sathi]

agar ap achi tara trade karna janti hai to apko minimum 2 % jorur manna hoga. kunki dunia me koi aisa business nahi hai jisse loss nahi hai. to ap jab trade kare tab apko ek tendensi rakhna hoga ki muje loss bhi ho sakta hai.

[Dragon]

Any one who know about forex, they are also understand that, forex is not easy for the person who is without experience. When the brokers give the risk rate at 2%, you understand that it only give for experiened traders.

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?

i accede with your appearance the added we wish to accretion the added risk we change to take.2% in a day is absolutely reasonable accumulation we can apprehend on a acceptable day and for that we charge not use a lot of accessible allowance but a small portion of it will be acceptable and again our annual can buck above animation and we can delay to abutting barter in profit.

[gaga]

You are when you use the most of your capital, and still the majority of the capital, but you can cover the amount in your future transactions with ease, most of the trades you need to worry too much then, you may lose money by doing business in the future difficult even if you do not have to use the bet because it is potentially dangerous to use

[cozard007]

there is a proverb goes that '' no risk no gain''. so the more you take risk the more you can make profit. but if you fail to make profit in high risk, you have to count a heavy loss which can be disastrous for the health of your capital.
may be that is why many trader recommended to take the risk not more than 2%.As far as i am concerned, this amount of money is too small for me, the fcat also remains that traders meed a better trading capitla to be satisfied with small percentage of income.

[maesa]

it's recommended to keep your capital in the resistance when you run into an error repeated several times, otherwise it will stop you because of loss of trade more in your trading account

[dharampal]

good thread my friend many people those who take high risk they gain high profit but some time due to high risk heavy loss and thats not good for your capital so thats why people go for only 2% risk .

[mariyadaif]

we like to trade with 2% max risky, because the forex is not just risky and it is a losing money machine and quickly if you dont discipline in your trade plan, i think that the success in the forex need a lot of experience and a long time with the chart moving to know exact the secret of it

[Saif]

Very important question. 2% risk is good for every trader. because if you take risk 5% or more, possible it you can lost your capital balance or loss more money. medium range is good for every work. avoid your greed. and some profit is good for every day. daily 5% profit of your capital balance too good for successful traders.

[ahmedi]

Wise trader calculates is probable loss and causes of such loss. His next move is to try to plug as much loopholes as he can, then to set contingency plan for those he can't completely fix early on plan and rules that have made before

[moss]

Taking a risk of 2% has been a famous statement.It has passed from mouth to mouth.Basically this is not a speech of Vedas.A man can take a risk of any percentage.But it should not exceed 10% that will be really risky.Because Forex is a risky business.Any time the market price may change drastically.For this reason, many accounts of new traders may be zero.So risk should be limited.

[theboy2226]

i think risking only 2% will not make you any real profit and you will make a couple of cents on each trade (unless you have a huge capital so in this case it is ok)but i risk much more than that , i risk 10-30% and some times even 40% and i know that is too dangerous but i still think it is better than 2%
if you are a beginner then 5% is good but only 2% is too small

[darksaimon]

I believe all of practiced trader ply suggestion to use 2% risk direction because they pair that this is the priggish money management and most of the trader got success from this direction, i guess we all of trader should do it.

[faisal89]

its not ever true that every trading attractive 2% try with their capital. if we love little assay then we can slip in market for stretch moment. if we bed countertenor risk tier and few trade proximate in loss then we are out of market.

[ToengToeng]

I think it is because the risk for you won't be massive. Since in every trade done by any trader has the risk of losing. So at least, if you happen to be very unlucky and loses repeatedly, your capital would still be intact and can be used to trade again. Also, risking too much money seems to haunt trader's emotional side, which is bad.

[tonmoy]

there is a adage goes that '' no accident no gain''. so the added you yield accident the added you can accomplish profit. but if you abort to accomplish accumulation in top risk, you accept to calculation a abundant accident which can be adverse for the bloom of your capital.

[widia]

because every body that foex is a good earning source for every peoples,they can make a lot of money by forex trading market, i think thats why most of the peoples think forex is money making machine.

[mdnahid]

The traders recommend risk we need to take Forex market trading responsible profit we can expat that we need not use and unable to forex business who can risk of around 7% there investment Forex trading.

[saviour196]

actually the traders who chose 2% risk per trade on the amount those are willing to face less loss if it happens and less risk less profit more risk the bigger margin.

[shorif]

Exactly why carry out dealers advise endangering simply 2% every business?

About each internet site, community forum and also every one of the close friends regarding my very own about confront publication which can be investing coming from some time now constantly point out any particular one need to business together with endangering simply 2% regarding his / her money. How come that thus? You will want to 5% or perhaps 10%, you can find dealers in which business endangering greater than 2% of these consideration dimensions yet my own issue is why this kind of amount is indeed popular and also a good idea

[edmar6969]

The greater we desire to obtain is the greater risk we have. Just small gain a every day is actually justifiable earnings. We all can easily assume on a successful day and also for which we will need not apply the majority of of available margin but a little percentage of it will certainly be enough and after that our account can keep main movements. We all may wait around to be able to close orders with earnings.

[waleed.aslam]

yes bro, you should use a small margin for each trade. forex trading can be a hobby that can bring in unlimited income. I have two strategies that can be used while in a state trending market, and when conditions sideway, I use the two accounts...

[Chi Pheo]

hahaha. Hi my friend. this thread is very good. As i see, there are many traders recomend this now. But in my opinion, we can not believe in them. Only 2 % for risk. it is not able for real traders to say that.
May be they cheat you. Be careful.

[sdpsanjeewa]

because of the riskyness of the forex business its always good to deal by taking the risks that can affordble..because in 10 seconds forex can loss all your hard earning money

[rajdave21]

because if we make mistakes in the open position, meaning that if the loss of our position that we created earlier, we still have 98% of capital for new positions..and also why we put all our capital in just one position???..thanks..

[hmkowsar]

if we have iess risk then we can stay in market for long time .if we have high risk lever and some trade close in then ewe are out of market.

[marwa]

when you gain, the value of what you will gai will be 2% but you can be sue that the amount that you will lose will not be that much either, but to be sure of what you are doing, be a good account manager and avoid trading using many different strategies, just be a good trader.

[kbavanmbnavc]

Certainly the traders recommend 2% risking of the total capital because during trading always you will not be having the winning trade some times you will also loss here so it is better to keep 2% of your capital for loss here in Forex trading in the markets..

[rak]

2% set of risks, is the most secure way of trading. Whatever strategy is used, you are not burdened with excessive worry. Because when your position at odds with the market, or touch the stop losses, you only lose 2% of your capital. It will not create stress, I guess.

[amirhumza1]

I think that traders want to check to the market when the recommend one 2 percent, because in e percent their is no profit and no loss, but they can judge to the market...

[antnetwork]

Though 2% of risk factor on our invested capital should be the maximum. But according to me we do not need to take that 2% risk also, because 1% to 1.5% of risk factor can be very safe and useful to all newcomers. After get little bit good experience we can take 2% risk.

[yoyo]

The forex trading is very risky business and without taking risk you can not earn in forex without taking risk, so the trader say that the risk must be taken but it should be very less, to avoid excessive losses.

[sohankhan]

actually it about their thought. some people thought about risk and some thought about the profit. so think only profit.

[bigboss]

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?
bhai wo is liye 2% risk recommend karte hain kyun ke is se hamare capital ki management theek rehti hai aur account full wash hone se bach jata hai

[ship]

there is a proverb goes that '' no risk no gain''. so the more you take risk the more you can make profit. but if you fail to make profit in high risk, you have to count a heavy loss which can be disastrous for the health of your capital.
may be that is why many trader recommended to take the risk not more than 2%.

[fahadtoforextrade001]

Goes without saying that'' without a risk of getting there.'' The more you can take more risks. But if you are unable to earn a high risk, you are a heavy loss, which results can be disastrous for the health of your capital should be expected.

[forexctg]

People recommend 2 % per trade because it is the proper money management and if a trader want to stay in this market then this trader have to obey this thing and i also think that it is very good to take 2% risk for every trade of total account balance.

[kavita]

2 percent is the traditional business assumption and every trader know about it he is new comer and/or old afterall a trader afford reachable loss in the short as well long period

[asmoshaa]

i think they think that will be more safe if they keep the risk level in low rang but for me i not assign a certain level and i depend on the analysis and try to risk more that this ratio if i see i will make good profit and this way good for me .

[bilal12]

mere khyal me traders apko 2% s ziada risk lena islie recommend nai karte k agar ap risk lene ki percentage ziada karenge to apke profit honi ki probability kam hoti jae gi jo k apki trade k lie acha nai h

[evaheima]

Traders are always prescribing that because it is a good amount of risks that we can take in forex trading. Small risks are good enough for all traders since it protects their accounts from losses.
It is part of money management. Financial management is an important part of health on the Forex. Therefore, risk management as important. No way to avoid this term ..... We expect 2% risk vs. benefit of 3%. if the exchange to take risks by 10%. It will become. It means becoming rich quickly. In fact, not possible for one. We need the ability to control. Any new operator make 10% more likely

[dadi]

there is a proverb goes that '' no risk no gain''. so the more you take risk the more you can make profit. but if you fail to make profit in high risk, you have to count a heavy loss which can be disastrous for the health of your capital.

[mohamed2020]

Forex or pro traders also recommended us to not lose more than 2% of capital.As if we lose more than 50% of out capital then it will be very difficult to make profits form that 50% capital to recover our losses.

[koko]

we want to gain the more risk we need to take. 2% in a day is quite reasonable profit we can expect on a winning day and for that we need not use most of available margin you have to count a heavy loss which can be disastrous for the health of your capital may be that is why many trader recommended to take the risk not more than 2%

[cuonghpftu]

The main idea of only 2% is to survive if anything goes wrong. Survival is the first task, after which comes making the money.

We should clearly understand that good traders are, first of all, skillful survivors. Those who also have deep pockets can additionally sustain larger losses and continue trading under unfavorable conditions, because they are financially able to. For an ordinary trader, the skills of surviving become a vital requirement to keep own forex trading accounts alive and be able to make profits in the long run.

I agree with your opinion, because by using a volume of 2%, the margin we will be able to withstand huge losses, so without the use of stop loss account we would be very safe.

[Fmfx]

We should understand that good traders are skillful and experienced, and most of them have deep pockets and can additionally sustain larger losses and continue trading after loss because they are financially able. But for an ordinary trader the skills of surviving become a vital requirement to keep his forex trading accounts alive and be able to make profits in the long run. I hope this explains it.

[miraz074]

We expect 2% risk vs 3% profit. if one trade take risk 10%. It will be to much. It means become a rich very quick. Actually not possible for one. We need ability to control. it is better to start with smaller one and slowly change if required according to our trading capacity.

[Avatar]

it is up to you , if you risk too high you could lose all of your account quickly . if you risk low you will not lose all of your account , you will have another chances to profit

[clark kent]

It comes from management aspect. Cash management is essential aspect of Currency trading health. So danger management also essential. No way to prevent this phrase.We anticipate 2% danger vs 3% benefit. if one business take danger 10%. It will be to much. This would mean become a wealthy very fast. Actually not possible for one. We need capability to management. All new investor make 10% or more danger. For that most investor go out by drop. 10% danger mean 10 business possible. If all business be drop. That to much.
1% danger enough and 2% may highest possible.

[traderking84]

i think what your friends mention about risking 2 % or 3% of your capital .they want you to survive long enough in forex..i think your friends are using huge initial investment and they can gain good profit risking 2% but if you invest 100$ and risk 2$ then what will you earn ...initially we have to take risks until we have good capita

[clark kent]

I acknowledge with your perspective the more we want to obtain the more danger we need to take. 2% in a day is quite affordable benefit we can anticipate on a successful day and for that we need not use most of available edge but a little part of it will be adequate and then our consideration can keep significant movements and we can delay to shut business in benefit.

[redlion]

because by trading only 2% of your capital you limit the lot size that you open to a manageble level. if you open a larger lot the risk you take will be too high to bear, and if the market changes direction suddenly you'll end up with a huge loss and that will be harmful to your equity. therefore most people would recommend 2% but i think one could go up to 5% of their capital without much damage being done. but it all depends on the individual trader and how much risk he/she is prepared to take. at the end of the day its you who should decide what amount to invest and what is the loss you can take if you loose.

[modu01]

I agree with your view the more we want to gain the more risk we need to take. 2% in a day is quite reasonable profit we can expect on a winning day

[KAMRANALI]

I agree with your view the more we want to gain the more risk we need to take. 2% in a day is quite reasonable profit we can expect on a winning day and for that we need not use most of available margin but a small portion of it will be sufficient and then our account can bear major volatility and we can wait to close trade in profit.

[iTradeFx4life]

aesa iss liay recommend kia jata hay kay agar aap ko successive losses bhi ho jaeen to bhi aap kay pass itni equity baqi ho kay aap oss say wapis profit kama sakain, agar aap ziada percentage risk karaingay to wapsi ka raasta band ho jaeyga.

[kashifrehman]

I agree with your view the more we want to gain the more risk we need to take. 2% in a day is quite reasonable profit we can expect on a winning day


2% is really good but only if we have good balance other wise as trader we strive to make more and in this effort many time we do over trading and take more risk that bring losses to us and may be we lose all in one trade that we lose in all the day.

[gemmy]

Me too also i don't use to take more risks with forex , i prefer to work with aproper money and risk management so as to protect my capital and limit amount of my loss ,

[ishvara]

In the risking of 2% of our trading account, this is actually taking small risks so that our accounts can be having high and unnecessary losses in our trades.

[s.saha]

Why do traders recommend risking only 2% per trade?

On every website, forum and all the friends of mine on face book that are trading from quite some time always say that one must trade with risking only 2% of his capital. Why is it so? Why not 5% or 10%, there are traders that trade risking more than 2% of their account size but my question is why this number is so famous and advisable?
if you have only $100 in your account then 2% risk per trade will never minimize your risk rather it will increase your risk percentage. in that case you should take 7-10% risk per trade. but if you have $5000 in your account then 2% risk per trade is enough to understand the trend as 2% of 5000 is $100. now decision is yours.

[samhos02]

Because above 2% risk is very high and it is very risky and possible to high risk. If we take more risk we can't survive. So for longevity we need to take lower risk.

[yola]

hi forum members,
in my point of view, I think all of expert trader give suggestion to use 2% risk management because they know that this is the proper money management and most of the trader got success from this management, i think we all of trader should do it.
goooooooooooooood luck :)

[iTradeFx4life]

Think 10 trade performance. if you use 2% in trade and loss then if your balance 100$ you loss 20$. But if you use 10% then after 10 trade loss your balance is 00$. So what is better.? I think 2% is better for a good trade. If want more then use more capital.

aesa iss liay hota hay kay forex market aik totally random market hay. agar aap ki strategy aap ko 70% winning rate dayti hay to aap ko ye nae pata kay 100 may say jo 30 trades aap nay lose kerni hain wo kab aaengi. iss liay agar aap 20 trades bhi lagataar lose kertay hain to phir aap kay capital sirf 40% kam hoga.

[yogesh]

When you risk only little of available capital in a trade that leaves more free margin and in case you book losses that is small one and does not affect your future trading plans, also it increases the life of your account and despite losing in few trades you still can trade recover your losses and earn some profits as well.

[assi]

the good and professional traders says that we should not take the risk more than 2 percent per trade because we know that this market can any time move towards you for getting you money and if you will not remove your trade then there will be no chance for you to get more money
