Large, very important topic to retain your capital... You'll need to work out a low risk strategy before trading. Risking 1% of balance per trade with stop loss orders while limiting the number of trades is a popular approach.

thank you. I'm trying to do that. I'm not an expert and I'm still learning and I don't want to lose everything just because of ignorance.

Set stop loss and take profits so that they reflect how much you want to win or afford to lose in money terms. Equate it to 1% of your balance and you should be safe for a long time.

I agree totally. If you work with longer time-frames, usually safer for newer traders, be prepared for low risks and low returns, unless you trade with a large account balance. That's why many traders seek prop firm funding (usually hard to get) for larger accounts.

Set your SLs carefully; do not underestimate them. Also, setting goals for a new trader can work; in the volatile market, just set goals for the amount and number of your trades. Also, do not enter a trade easily; consider all trades that you want to enter!

Using reputable financial websites like Bloomberg can be beneficial for your trading endeavors. These platforms offer valuable real-time financial news, data, analysis, and insights that can help you make informed trading decisions. However, while they are valuable tools, remember that successful trading involves a comprehensive approach. It's essential to combine information from various sources.

In the Forex market - The money management is so important for being Professional Forex Traders. It is important that you stick to the following outline for investing in each trade.

-If your intial investment amount only $100, You can trade 5%. Starting your first with "Mini Lot Broker"

-If you have lost 5 Trade continuously, Please STOP your trading today.


Be careful while Trading some things:

-Don't Be Greedy
-Don't be Emotional
-Don't Trade on your own whims
-Trade by following Money Management
-Follow the Trading Strategy

Please don't trade on Friday & Monday day, if you are new Forex traders.
