We often read on numerous forums about how much a retail trader should risk per trade and the majority of forums advise risk per trade should be between 1 to 3%. However, I think the best way to gauge your risk tolerance is to place a trade overnight with a reasonable amount and see whether you are thinking about the outcome of that particular trade while you are in bed. If you are worried then obviously the amount you risked is above your risk tolerance and it's time to lower your risk until yo…

DAY 2 - INTELLIGENT RISK TAKING
We all know the saying, "No risk, no reward." In markets especially, we cannot make money if we're not willing to take risks. However, my experience is that the greatest problem is not with taking risk, but with the intelligence of risk taking. Traders take risks that, ultimately, they are not emotionally prepared to handle.

Yet if you told them to get out and take a new position with a 5 tick target and a 95 tick stop they will say "Are you out of your mind?"
The point is you have to be flexible in your profit expectations and assess your R/R not only at the time of entry, but also when the trade is running.
In my opinion, it's not about how many pips you make or how…

The Nature of Risk in the Foreign Exchange Market Trader
let's talk about the nature of risk.
Every trader who comes to the currency market, regardless of whether they use paid or free Forex signals, indicator, or hedge forex strategy, and any other tools, know that trading is risky. It is impossible to build a forex trading so as to completely avoid the risk - buying and selling currency is always associated with certain difficulties, unforeseen circumstances, force majeure, etc. But the level of risk is dependent on the trader.
