Money Management (Lesson 2)
• Establish your risk to reward ratio for each trade and stick to it. This means that you should only enter a trade if the potential profit is higher than the potential loss. A common rule of thumb is to aim for at least a 2:1 ratio.
• Respect leverage and use it wisely. Leverage is a double-edged sword that can magnify both your profits and losses. While it can help you trade larger positions with a smaller account, it can also expose you to higher risks. Therefore, you should always use leverage in moderation and according to your risk tolerance.
• Withdraw profit regularly and reinvest it wisely. One of the benefits of Forex trading is that you can withdraw your earnings at any time. However, you should also have a plan for how to use your profits. You can either save them for future goals, reinvest them in other markets, or use them to improve your trading skills and education.
