The forex market uses margins to increase your profits

[lioneld]

When a forex trader is planning for future he can’t simply deny his trading and pecuniary capacities. A person who has only 10K money to make investment can’t simply think that he will earn millions dollar within few days and such thinking is not realistic. Thereby every trader should provide great importance on the effective usage of trading methods which will allow him to work according to his pocket and expertise.

Well; thanks for your words! Do you use crypto trading pairs? I’m asking because of your point of view.

1-2% risk is more comfortable for avoiding unfortunate risk and losses, but difficult to maintain this ratio at all times , because market moves at random most of the time.

 

[lioneld]

That’s really great! Even, I have also similar plan, 2% is my maximum number on risk reward ratios!

An important part of margin trading. Margins are usually associated with leverage. The lower the leverage, the more secure your account will be. Causes of Loss in High Leverage Trading.

The forex market uses margins to increase your profits

Forex is a nickname for the foreign exchange, a vast market of trading in which the commodity is money itself. In the forex market, traders are buying and selling foreign currencies -- trading dollars for euros, pounds for yen, and so forth.

Forex is profitable because national currencies fluctuate from day to day based on predictions of the nation’s gross domestic product and other factors. As with the stock market, the idea with the forex is to buy low and sell high: Buy a lot of a particular currency when it’s weak, then sell it when it becomes stronger.

For example, bad financial news in Great Britain means that forex traders will be selling off their British pounds as fast as possible, as the pound is about to become devalued. Once the pound recovers, those traders will sell it for something else, thus turning a profit.

Though we talk of “buying” and “selling” pounds, euros, yen and francs, the transactions performed in the forex are not literal. That is, if you want to buy 100,000 euros, you don’t have to withdraw the equivalent U.S. dollars from your bank account and swap them out for a big stack of euros. Everything is done on paper only, though the resulting profits and losses are real.

Because the transactions are not done physically, there is room in the forex for what are called “margins” or “leverage.” Put simply, this means you don’t have to actually put up the full amount of the position you’re taking. Usually the margin is 1%, meaning that when you put $1,000 into it, you’re actually getting $100,000. Of course, margins multiply your losses as well as your profits, so you have to be careful.

One of the reasons for allowing a 100:1 margin like this is that the major world currencies in the forex market usually fluctuate less than 1% a day. (In the stock market, a typical stock might fluctuate as much as 10% in one day.) With changes that small, your daily loss or gain on an initial investment of $1,000 would be almost imperceptible, usually less than $10 either way. By multiplying it by 100, the gains and losses in the forex market are more pronounced.

With leverage implemented that way, the basic “lot” for buying and selling currencies is usually 100,000 (which of course only costs 1,000). Most firms that handle day-trading on the forex market don’t go any lower than that.

Very nicely explained. Thank you for the details.

No doubt, trading leverage is such an amazing feature to the retail Forex traders; but that doesn’t mean we can use high trading leverage in our trading! In reality, high trading leverage is risky, if you wanna follow the rules of money management and risk management then you should try the small leverage like 1:50, 1:100.

I use a fixed strategy on my trading! I don’t know what is the percentage but just know one thing which is traders lose due to lacking of trading knowledge. So, when a trader asks me about the ways of evading losses, I simply tell them to increase knowledge. Free online resources are available for increasing knowledge and traders should make the best use of them.

If we are using such type of a trading strategy that is easy to understand the risks will also start coming down for us.

There are some traders who use high lot and gain much within these short pips. This is the reason I prefer scalping the most. If you want to enjoy your scalping, you must start with a scalping-friendly broker. I seldom trade for long time.

You have to be selective about picking up an advice because you will find many people who don’t have sufficient knowledge but bluff around.
