Controlling Risks

The risk of control is one of the most important ingredients of the successful trade. While it is with emotion more attractive to concentrate on the upper part the commercial, each tradesman should know with precision how much it costs laid out to lose on each trade before losses of cutting, and how much it costs laid out to lose in his account before ceasing the trade and the revaluation.

The risk will be primarily ordered in two manners: 1) by the exit loss trades before the losses exceed your predetermined maximum tolerance (or losses of cutting ), and 2) by the limitation power or cuts position which you trade for a given size of account.


Losses of cutting

Too much often, the tradesman of beginning will be excessively worried by incurring the trade of loss. It thus leaves the frame of losses, with hope that the market will turn around and the loss will be transformed into profit.

Almost all the successful commercial strategies include a procedure disciplined to cut losses. When a tradesman is downwards on positions, much of emotions often inherit the play, making it difficult to cut losses at the level right. The practices are to decide where losses will be cut before a trade is even launched. This will ensure the tradesman of the maximum quantity which it can intend to lose on the trade.

The other key component of the ordering of risk is total risk of account. In other words, a tradesman should know before it begins his effort of trade which quantity of its account it is laid out to lose before ceasing trading and revaluing its strategy. If you open an account with $2.000, are you been willing to lose each of the $2.000? $1.000? As with the ordering of risk on the trade of individual, the most important discipline is to decide on a level and a stick with it. The extra informations on the mechanisms to limit the risk can be found in the pages of exit of the trade and the pages of protection.


Cut position of determination

Before beginning any commercial program, an evaluation should be made maximum loss of account which is likely to occur with time, by fate (see lowering in glossary of the limits ). For example, suppose that you determined that your loss of worse case on any trade is 30 pips. That translated into roughly $300 by size of $100.000 positions. Further suppose the size from $100.000 positions is equal to a fate. The five consecutive trade of loss would have like consequence a loss of $1.500 (5 X $300); one difficult period but not to be unexpected with long. For an account $10.000 tradesman a fate, this translated into 15% a loss. Consequently, though it can be possible to trade 5 fates or more with one account $10.000, this analysis suggests that to result lowering is too large (75% or more value of account would be eliminated).

Any tradesman should have a direction of this maximum loss by fate, and then determines the quantity which it wishes to trade for a given size of account which will bring back tolerable lowerings.
