Risk Management
Risk management is a professional way of high-profitability trading.
Trading in the financial markets entails significant risk, and you can always lose money.
Though your trading results may differ, no representation is made on this website that guarantees profits or protects against trading losses.
No trading strategy guarantees profits or prevents losses unless you’ve backtested and made money through the skills.
I hope you get the best from our website and make daily profiting in your trading journey by constantly improving your trading performance.
Fast-action traders look for huge profits by risking minimum losses. By estimation, 9 out of every 10 traders end up losing money.
These losses can be prevented by learning how to trade better, and knowing what works for you and what does not actually work for you.
Risk Management of the Mind
The mind has it is seat of consciousness, the actual essence of a being.
The mind of a trader has to be in the right thinking and a seat of knowledge garnered from day-to-day experience.
Are you looking for a perfect trade setup?
Or are you looking for a perfect trading system?
A perfect strategy that never fails is only realized by an individual’s trading experience and also learning from other professionals.
Learning from a professional has to be backtested before it proves to you a working principle. What works for one may not work for the other.
Risk Management of Money
Your money is your asset and you must place a great value on it and never lose it.
Your trading capital should be treated with maximum risk management. How much are you willing to risk daily as a day trader?
How much are you risking before you jump into placing an order in the market?
Many traders only consider what they look to profit from and never consider their risk for buying or selling an asset.
Forex trading must be to every trader as a serious business and not just a casual gambling strategy or means of making more money.
You would have to take a no-nonsense approach to your trading skill before you win the forex game. Trades are only entered at high rewards. You have to be serious as trading is work.
It takes not just preparation to succeed in trading but it takes also dedication.
Method to Risk Management
Below are proven methods that have been used by successful traders and I want you to learn about these methods.
Have you ever bought a trade because the bullish hammer formed or an indicator showed the price is oversold?
I am sure many traders have done that and the market went against them almost immediately causing them to lose money.
You would have to answer a few questions before placing trades:
- Are you looking for a long-term trend or a short-term trend?
- What chart pattern formation do you have in the long term or short term?
- Do you have a confluence area to trade from? Meaning you must have more than just one confirmation of your entry.
- Are buyers winning or sellers are in control of the market?
Once you answer the above four questions, your entry and exit points would be well planned for minimum risk and maximum profit.
History of the Market Price
History plays a very vital role in forex trading, stocks, and commodities trading.
Markets could break history and form a new ride. You have to adapt to changes and market conditions.
Are you a trend follower, swing trader, or scalper?
You have to know who you are and be who you really are.
Allow your stop-loss to hit before you think otherwise. Having a good position for your stop-loss indicates a change of direction if hit.
You do not have to keep changing your stop-loss positions as the price moves toward them.
You should only risk less than 1% or just a percentage of your investment capital on each trade.
Never allow fundamentals such as news to dictate to you but rather place focus on the price of an asset.
You can easily manage your risk by taking price action and not by trading news.
As the market goes in your favor, do not bother to add new positions all the way, only enjoy the singular trade with a good lot size. But rather modify the stop-loss position to lock in a percentage of profit.
