Today I would like to offer you a summary of the material on this topic. You will be able to determine for yourself in which direction to work to minimize the risks of forex trading and get the best result from trading.

Trade volume and stop order

Control of the trade volume is one of the basic
conditions for successful trading. Unfortunately, some novice traders,
driven by the desire to get rich quickly, trade for the entire deposit. Options for outcome
that kind of trading just doesn’t exist. The trading account will definitely be merged. From the very beginning.
you need to establish a rule on the size of the trade for yourself. For starters…
I’d recommend that we stop at 1-2% of the deposit. And as you accumulate.
of experience, you can raise the bar to 3-5%.
The next method of risk reduction is to use a stop order. Its effectiveness will largely depend on how well the size of the stop loss has been determined. He must have a logical reasoning.
