HOW TO APPLY MONEY MANAGEMENT IN FOREX TRADING.
PART 1
A traders money management style can be the difference between a loss and a gain.Most traders do not care for this aspect of trading,but it is very important.
In many cases of large losses,poor money management was the culprit.Everyone wants the $1billion profit in a single day,but that is market gamble.Good Forex management ,though,can give a trader much better odds of a large gain than a trader who has little or no money management.
I agree with some of my friends who are trends followers that beginner traders should not risk more than 1% of their total equity on any trade.At 1% ,a loss is very minimal and it is much easier to recoup and rebound.
On an individual trade ,the 1%makes little difference and even if the trader is wrong 20 times,he or she will still maintain 80%in equity.This type of Forex money management,however,requires discipline which is often in short supply with many traders.
Money is very easy to lose,but not so easy to make back.For example,a trader invests $100,000 and loses $50,000.This is a 50%loss.However,the percentage that the trader must make in order to get back to the original $100,000 is actually 100% this would mean that there was a 50% draw down,the percentage of the difference between the peaks and trough of an investment.
It is thus advisable that traders who are joining the Forex market for the first time should use speculative capital only.In deciding how much money to begin trading with,it is advisable to select an amount that can be considered as an acceptable loss.
HAPPY TRADING.
