Risk!!!

10 Rules of Risk Management Risk management is the most important aspect of any trading plan. Apart from the mathematical and strategic methodologies to employ, there are several precautions you can adopt as a trader and consider in your decision-making process. Never risk more than you can afford to lose. Never forget Rule no.1. Stick to your trading plan. Consider the costs like spread, rollover/swap and commissions. Limit your margin use and track available margin to avoid margin calls. Always use Take Profit and Stop Loss orders. Never leave open positions unattended. Record your performance and adjust as you progress. Avoid high volatility periods like economic news releases. Avoid making emotional decisions when trading. We apply risk management to minimise losses if the market tide turns against us after an event. Although the temptation of realising every opportunity is there for all traders, we must know the risks of an investment in advance to ensure we can endure if things go sour. All successful traders know and accept that trading is a complex process and an extensive risk management strategy and trading plan allow us to have a sustainable income source. ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ What do you want to learn in the next post?

How to Trade Like a Pro | Focus on One Instrument! “TO TRADE, OR NOT TO TRADE A SINGLE CURRENCY PAIR. THAT IS THE QUESTION…” 🧿MULTIPLE CURRENCY PAIRS Easier to recover from losses on a given currency pair Less likely to experience not seeing any setups for a whole day/week Better understanding of pair correlations required Can be more distracting 🧿SINGLE CURRENCY PAIR No risk of trading correlated pairs Better ability to focus Feeling of understanding the price movements more Can be a struggle to stick to ONE pair Feeling of missing out when big moves happen on other pairs ✅HOW TO TRADE SINGLE CURRENCY PAIR: 🔲Step 1: Pick Your Currency Pair ▪️Is the pair active when I intend to trade it? Even though the Foreign Exchange market is open 24/5, some pairs may be less traded at some specific times. Refer to "When To Trade Forex To Maximize Your Lifestyle & Profit?" ▪️Do you understand the currency pair you want to trade? If you trade a pair with your country's currency, your chances of understanding how the price of the pair fluctuates might be higher. You will know what's going on and might even be able to know where the currency is heading (we are talking of fundamental analysis here...). ▪️Is the pair too or not enough volatile for you? Don't be surprised to see big swings in GBP/JPY or GBP/NZD because those pairs are considered more volatile. Some traders like it because the profits usually come quickly, but stopped out trades can be more frequent.On the other hand, a pair like USD/CNY will have some inactivity periods and that might be frustrating. 🔲Step 2: Plan Your Trading Good strategies are abstract and should work on any currency pair, however, since you have decided to trade one pair only, you have the privilege of tailoring you strategy to the particular pair, taking into the account it’s volatility, average likelihood of fakeouts vs breakouts, how trending it is on average etc.. 🔲Step 3: Stay Consistent Stick to the plan for at least a month. You might start the month feeling excited. You might get discouraged because you've taken too many or too few trades two weeks in.No one cares. Stick to your decision.At the end of the month, two things will happen: 1. You'll have built more confidence in your ability to remain consistent. 2. You'll have performed an experiment and will be able to say what works vs. what doesn't. Those are two great things for someone who's looking to grow as a Forex trader.

Two methods to ensure no loss of principal There are only two ways to avoid losing capital: one is to have a small stop-loss space (reflected in the entry position), and the other is not to bet too much at once. For example, buying one lot with $10,000 can earn $1,000, and buying ten lots with $100,000 can earn $10,000. Although the probability is the same, the more you do, the more you earn, and the less you do, the less you earn. However, controlling losses should be the top priority. As discussed earlier, if you buy too many lots this time and get stopped out, it will result in a big loss, which violates the principle of capital preservation. Some traders become increasingly greedy after making profits and then add more positions. A typical behavior is adding positions. For example, if you bought 10 lots at first and then made a profit in the expected direction, the trader would blame himself for not buying more at the beginning. Then, he would begin to imagine that the market would continue to move in the expected direction and invest most of his capital in this product, let alone any correct practices such as taking profits in batches. After you add more positions, it means that the cost has changed. Once the market reverses slightly, you will go from being profitable to losing money. At this point, you panic, lose your ability to think, and greed slowly turns into hope. You hope that this is only temporary, but the losses increase every moment. Perhaps you will have some luck a few times, but it won't be long before there is a risk of a big loss or liquidation. It is important to understand that becoming rich cannot be achieved by just one market movement, so don't be obsessed with this one time. Greed makes people forget about risk, and don't always imagine that the market will move in the expected direction, ignoring the risk of the opposite trend. This is the key to keeping your capital out of danger. Follow me, and I will share more interesting ideas that will greatly help your trading.

Profit fixation Profit fixation There are three main profit-taking strategies: 1. Fixed RR (1:2, 1:3RR). 2. High RR (1:10RR and above). 3. Partial profit taking. Fixed RR. When trading with a fixed RR, the trader ignores the situation on the chart and places a take profit at the level of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, taking into account the commission. This approach has a high win rate and also relieves the trader from feeling greedy. You do not need to select targets, accompany the position and worry about a random factor that the price may react to. We think that many people are familiar with the situation when the take is put on a lay, the price reaches 1:5R without removing the minimum, and then hits the stop. The weak side of the strategy is that it has limited profit potential. Often when trading with the trend, you can get more than 2 or 3%. High RR. According to this strategy, a position is opened on a lower timeframe, and targets are allocated on a higher timeframe in order to set a short stop and a long target. On the other hand, this does not prevent you from using a fixed take profit level.A. At one time, Liquidity traded high RR and set a take at the level of 1:10, regardless of the targets on the chart. Many in this strategy are captivated by mathematics. With a risk-reward level of 1:10, a win rate of 10%-20% or 1-2 profitable trades over a distance of 10 positions is enough not to be unprofitable. And yet, this strategy can harm the trader. If the price does not reach the marked targets, you will not make a profit even if you did everything right. This puts a lot of pressure psychologically, especially when it was possible to take 3-5% and close the position in plus. You may get the impression that there are only two extremes: earning rarely, but a lot, or little, but often. But there is another strategy that helps to balance and find a happy medium. Partial profit taking. The trader fixes the profit in parts as the selected goals are achieved. Targets can be determined both by schedule and by risk-reward ratio. For example, you fix 50% of the position at 1:3, 25% at 1:5 and 2 more5% at 1:10. Either 50% on FTA and the rest on potential reversal zones. This strategy will help you capitalize on your trading ideas, reducing the risk of losing profit when the price falls short of the marked targets. Partial fixation will be useful for novice traders because it creates a positive experience and demonstrates what you are capable of. Do not jump from extremes to extremes and look for balance.

The Simpliest Math Behind Every Succesful TraderWhat exactly is risk management? The ability to control your losses so that you do not lose all of your equity is referred to as risk management. This is a system that may be applied to everything that involves probabilities: trading, poker, blackjack, sports betting, and so on. Many inexperienced traders underestimate the significance of risk management or don't understand the basics when it comes to risk management. Would you risk $5,000 on every trade if you had a $10,000 trading account? Probably not. Because it only takes two consecutive losses in order to lose everything. 🧠 Now, let's imagine a thought experiment, in wich 🤩Alex and 🤨Peter are both traders with $10,000 in their accounts. Alex is a high-risk trader who puts $2500 risk on every trade. Peter is a cautious trader who puts $100 risk on every trade. Both apply a trading strategy that has a 50% success rate with an average risk-to-reward ratio of 1:2. For good example, let's imagine the next 8 trades had the following results: 4 losing trades in a row 4 winning trades in a row Here is the result for Alex: -$2,500, -$2,500, -$2,500, -$2,500 = -$10,000 Loss of the total account 😭😭😭😭 Here is the result for Peter: -$100, -$100, -$100, -$100, +$200, +$200, +$200, +$200 = +$800 Profits. 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 Can you tell the difference? See how risk management show the difference between being a profitable or losing trader. Peter managed to recover losing trades, and get into good profits after 8 trades. Alex didn't survive 4 trades... 🚨 You might have the finest trading strategy in the world, but if you don't manage how much you lose, you'll lose it all. It's only a matter of probability and time. However, following this basic example will assist you to make your trading more profitable. Simply give it a shot. Kind regards Artem Crypto Follow, Like and Share are appreciated!

SPY tail Risk IndexThis index is constructed by taking the SPY and adding 3 month out of the money puts activity to come up with a "tail risk" estimate. It is a measure of the market's appetite to take on new risk. At extreme levels, it can signal over-optimism and a potential market downturn. In fact, that is what happened on 8/16/22 and 12/1/22. It is now happening again, but the big difference between now and then is that we are "bull flagging". This suggests a possibility that this rally may not be over. Watch this index over the next few days and see if the bull flag breaks down. If you want to have some fun, construct a chart of the ratio of SPY to PPUT3M.

🧊The Iceberg Illusion In TradingThe iceberg illusion in trading refers to the perception gap between what people think trading is and what it actually means. Many people see trading as a simple way to make quick profits and accumulate wealth, with the idea that all one has to do is buy low and sell high. However, the reality is far more complex. Under the surface of what appears to be a straightforward process lies a world of risk, stress, and uncertainty. Trading is not just about making money, it requires discipline, patience, and a deep understanding of the markets. Those who don't understand the true nature of trading may face financial loss, depression and failure, much like the hidden dangers beneath the surface of an iceberg. Success in trading often requires much more than just a basic understanding of market trends and patterns, and those who dive in without being fully prepared may face dire consequences. 🔷 Above the Iceberg Above the iceberg, people often see the glamorous and attractive side of trading, characterized by success, wealth, and financial independence. They imagine traders as confident and knowledgeable individuals, making smart decisions and reaping the rewards of their investments. The image of traders making large profits in a short amount of time is one that is often perpetuated by media and popular culture. People often see the stock market as a fast-paced, exciting place where opportunities for financial gain are abundant, and the idea of being able to control one's financial future through trading is alluring. This perception of trading often creates a rosy and idealized image of what it entails, leading many to believe that success in the markets is easy to achieve. 🔶 Bellow the Iceberg Below the iceberg, lies the reality of the challenges and difficulties that traders face on a daily basis. There are many hidden risks and uncertainties that are not immediately apparent to those who are new to the world of trading. Some of the things that people don't know that lie beneath the surface of the iceberg include: 🔸 Market volatility: The stock market is a highly volatile environment, and prices can fluctuate rapidly and unpredictably. This can make it difficult for traders to manage their positions and minimize their losses. 🔸 Emotional stress: Trading can be a highly emotional experience, and the pressure to make the right decisions can be immense. Many traders struggle with anxiety, fear, and depression, particularly when faced with losing trades. 🔸 Lack of understanding: The stock market is complex, and it can be difficult for traders to understand all of the factors that influence market trends and prices. This can lead to costly mistakes and an increased risk of financial loss. 🔸 Competition: The stock market is a highly competitive environment, and traders must be able to keep up with fast-moving markets and make quick decisions based on complex data and information. 🔸 Long-term success: Many traders are focused on short-term profits and may not consider the long-term impact of their trading decisions. Achieving lasting success in the markets requires a well-thought-out strategy and a strong understanding of the markets and the risks involved. 🔸 Timing: Successful trading often requires precise timing, as markets can change rapidly and prices can fluctuate. Traders must have a deep understanding of market trends and be able to make quick decisions to take advantage of opportunities. 🔸 Risk management: Trading involves risk, and traders must be able to manage their positions and minimize their losses. This requires a well-planned and executed risk management strategy, including setting stop-losses and taking profits at appropriate levels. 🔸 Knowledge and experience: Trading is not just about buying low and selling high. It requires a deep understanding of market trends, economics, and financial analysis, as well as years of experience to develop a successful trading strategy. 🔸 Discipline: Trading requires discipline and patience, as well as the ability to stick to a well-thought-out strategy. Many traders make impulsive decisions based on emotions or market rumors, which can lead to financial losses.

🧭ORDER TYPES IN TRADING🧭 ⚙️STOP ORDER This one is better to be explained with the examples: These orders can be used for trading breakouts. If you thought the EUR/USD would rally further after a move above the 1.1500 level, you would place a buy stop for entry at 1.1501. As the market printed 1.1501, your buy stop would become a market order and be filled at the next best price available. If you thought that the EUR/USD would continue moving down if it traded down through the 1.1200 level, you would place your sell stop for entry at the 1.1199 level. As the market printed 1.1199, your sell stop would become a market order and be filled at the next best price available. ⚙️MARKET ORDER The market order is probably the most basic and often the first order type traders come across. Market orders are traded at market: if you want to get into the forex market immediately, you can trade a market order and be entered at the prevailing price. ⚙️LIMIT ORDER This one is better to be explained with the examples: If the EUR/USD is trading at 1.1294 and you thought it would trade down to 1.1200 before rallying, you would place your limit order to buy at 1.1200. If the EUR/USD is trading at the 1.12939 level and you thought it would rally up to 1.1300 before selling off, you would place your limit order to sell 1.1300. When using a limit order, you will only be filled at the price you designated or better. It’s important to remember that you should familiarize yourself with the platform you are working with before undertaking any form of trading activity. This can help minimize any impractical errors when executing or managing a trade. Thanks for reading bro, you are the best☺️ Like, comment and subscribe to boost your trading!

How To Have An Edge Over The Markets 📚Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, also known as theSignalyst. Today I want to share a basic trading plan that you can follow to quantify your trading edge. 📌 Step 1: First, start from the higher timeframes like Daily/Weekly to identify the current long-term trend. is it bullish, bearish or stuck inside a range? If the price is sitting in the middle of nowhere, then it is a NO trade zone as price has 50% change to go either up or down. Thus no edge! 📚 Wait for the price to approach the lower bound or upper bound. Then proceed to Step 2 📌 Step 2: No matter how strong a horizontal / non-horizontal support or resistance is, it can still be broken. Thus don't buy/sell blindly as price approaches a support/resistance. Instead, zoom in to lower timeframes like H1 and M30 to look for setups. 🏹A basic approach would be to wait for a swing low to be broken downward around a resistance as a signal that the bears are taking over. In parallel, wait for a swing high to be broken upward around a suppor t for the bulls to take over. This would be the confirmation to enter the trade. Of course, your second edge would be through risk management by targeting at least double than your indented risk. But that's a topic for another post 😉 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Hope you find the content of this post useful 🙏 All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich
