Forex Tips

You cannot avoid risk in the markets nor can you avoid losses. You  have to start thinking in terms of Risk- Reward Ratios in the markets. How much dollar or percentage amount of your total equity you are risking in a given trade? You should only risk a small percentage of your total account size in a given trade. The fund managers and professional traders do not risk more than a 1-2% of their account in one trade. Understand risk and your role as a speculator in the markets.
