The Truth About Forex Money Management
Forex money management is often talked about but equally often ignored by a lot of traders – names like Nick Leeson and Jerome Kerviel spring to mind as traders who risked rather more money than was sensible. But what can you do to ensure that your own money management is sensible whilst still allowing you to grow your bank at a pace that is quick enough to keep you interested in trading? Don’t risk too much per trade Regardless of the results of your paper trading, placing real money on real trades is a completely different feeling. It’s one thing to paper trade at 2% or even more of your bank but those figures are only play money and deep down you know that’s true. If you blow up your bank on a demo Forex account, no worries, you can re-start. But if you do the same thing in real life, it’s a different story.
