Lecture on Using Proper Risk Management
Risk management is crucial for successful trading. Here are key principles to ensure proper risk management:
1. Determine Risk Tolerance: Understand your risk tolerance and set a percentage of your capital that you are willing to risk on each trade. Commonly, traders risk 1-2% of their capital per trade.
2. Set Stop Losses: Always use stop losses to limit potential losses. For the current XAU/USD scenario, a stop loss could be placed slightly below the LQZ support level at $2,356.635.
3. Position Sizing: Calculate your position size based on your risk tolerance and stop loss level. For instance, if you have $10,000 and are willing to risk 2% ($200), and your stop loss is $10 away from the entry price, your position size would be 20 units.
4. Risk-Reward Ratio: Aim for a favorable risk-reward ratio. A common target is a 1:3 ratio, meaning you aim to make three times the amount you risk.
5. Diversification: Avoid putting all your capital into a single trade or asset. Spread your investments across different assets to mitigate risk.
