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.

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.

Percentage of risk is measured on the size of the account.It is depend on your own risk big or small.I am use 5% risk and profit at 8% to 10%.I am trading with small amount.

[jabrik1991]

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

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 ...

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

FOREX RISK MANAGEMENT

Whats your risk % per trade?
Or should i say, what�s 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 doesn�t happen always.
What i�m 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 it�s a distraction, maybe there�s 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.

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.
