Online trading whether forex, cfds or futures is an exciting but it’s all about speculation and comes with risks similar to other markets, and deserving of the same precautions that should apply in any speculative market. Risk can be mitigated using the proper tools, money management and sound trading practices.
The old adage of investing in the stock market applies equally in forex trading: Do not invest any amount unless you are fully prepared to lose that amount. Recognize that all traders sometimes find themselves on the wrong side of a trade. Different traders might handle the situation in different ways, but they all must maintain discipline and strive to overcome emotion in their trades. After all, nobody wants to exit a trade at a loss, and most traders would emotionally prefer to stay in a losing trade, hoping that the market will turn around and prove that they were right, after all.
The most important step in risk management is controlling your losses. Know when to cut your losses on a trade. You can use a hard stop or a mental stop. A hard stop is when you set your stop loss at a certain level as you initiate your trade. A mental stop is when you set a limit to how much pressure or drawdown you will take for the trade.
Figuring out where to set your stop loss is a science all to itself, but the main thing is, it has to be in a way that reasonably limits your risk on a trade and makes good sense to you. Once your stop loss is set in your head, or on your trading platform, stick with it. It is easy to fall into the trap of moving your stop loss farther and farther out.
In this webinar, we will look at some of the key principles to employee in risk management and how these can help you make better trades, keep more pips and lower your exposure
