    I'm more of a moderate risk taker. I know I need to work more on my skills to be able to risk 3-5%. But I love this video. You really nailed it.

    5% swing trading. I take half off at my 1:1 ratio and let the rest ride. Move my stop loss up to break even and trail from there.

      (Answer to the question in the video) At first I had no clue about anything about risk management and turned my 1000 dollar account into 500 dollars (I was risking 20-30% per trade), but ever since I created plan for how much I want to risk, the profits have been steadily building up. I'm now currently risking around 1-1.5% per trade.

    Hello, thanks for the video it was easy to understand and I am taking your tips into consideration.
    Just a quick question, what do you exactly mean by risking per trade? Do you mean risking how much of the total capital per trade, or risking 1-3% of capital and then (as an example) 5% stop loss?
    Do you think risking 3% of capital and having a 3-10% stop loss (depending on market conditions of course) is good? I have already taken RR into account and I feel like this would be a comfortable amount for me, and I am only risking around .3% of my account per trade.
    (I know that in forex many things are calculated in pips but just for the sake of simplicity I had percentages)

    So, I'm trading .02 lots size, 30 pip T/P, 10 Pip S/L on six pairs EU, AU, EA, AJ, EJ, and UJ pairs. A 10 pip loss would be $2, so my risk on a $1,000 account is $2/$1,000 or 0.2% per trade (some would say this tolerance is too low, but I'm happy with it). It would take 500 consecutive trade losses to blow the account. Your advise is appreciated...even though I know you don't have time to actually respond?

    • @KarenFoo

      Every trade taken by the rules is a good trade. Every trade in which
      you break the rules and do not follow your trading plan and your personal discipline is a bad trade. Exit strategies should
      always be planned carefully in advance because you will never know if a trade is good or bad unless you are in it! IQD momentum strategy Planned my exist trade. how to exit a position is one of the most important parts of a trading plan. Entries are less important than exits unless your style is to be scalping.

  • @afianagust4254
    @afianagust4254 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If we only have small capital such as $100, set a 1% of it for stop loss which is considered a very tight stop loss. How do you see it? Should we generate more capital at first before we trade?

    • @allanacademia42
