Forex market can do anything, It's 100% right. I set my risk up to 2% of my every trade. sample: if my balance is $100. and i opened a trade. and if this trade losing my balance, i will close it after $2 loss. I will never wait for a good position. It's my profitable trading and % of risk.

A far as i ma concerned, i have left my fear alone by risking just the 20% of my trade, by this, i maximizes my trading account without much fear in my trading practices...

[adesatriani]

trade once I dared to
bear the risk that a
maximum of 20% of
the capital, at least 5%
but that I often use is
10% of the capital I
have,,

[zirconium]

Trade risk should me less than 10% of the capital.But some professional traders are risking more than 10% of their capital to gain more profit.In ur a beginner risk less than 5%

[sgiant]

calculation of risk in trading concern. I used to use about 3% of risk capital. I think it is still safe in the trade.
