Good money management

note: I use google translate
hello

what are the hallmarks of a good money management system? I have spent the last few days to learn forex, and I think it’s time to make a good money management system. from experience in my poker career so I’ve decided the first thing I do when I start with forex is to just make a good system.

I have thought to use OANDA precisely because you can buy units, not lot. I think the compounding effect is very important. I’ve made a little sketch how I’ve been thinking how the system should be designed.

I am a Swing Trader and I wonder if it is a good plan? I have not much knowledge of Excel, but I’ll try to put together a system of wondering if anyone would help me? Perhaps we here at Babypips could put together a common system, where you type in balance: a risk you are willing to take, and so on.

in my system, I have a capital of $ 10,000, has a risk of 1% and the risk assigned to five trade putting them at risk per trade of 0.20%. I intend to spend two months with that, learn the surface of forex. and then start a small live / demo account to test with real money so that I get the feeling. currently I use [-ForexPhantom-] Daily Crossover System.

I wonder how the leverage, should I have?

I will start from 10k for that is what I will put in when I start to trade for real in a few months. the balance is good or the risk is too small? I believe in the need to find a good balance between profit and risk, and it feels like there is little gain in my system, what do you think?

how do I calculate, we say that I have a profit of 20 pips per day on average, in a year? how do I excel in order to obtain a figure?

happy and fun trading

hello again,

I’ve been thinking all week about how I’m going to make it work.

I decided to have a log book where I write about my bad trade. I think it is good idea, and later when I have more knowledge to go back and learn from my mistakes.

here a picture of how my log book should look like.

explanation to the picture
[ol]
[li]“Nr order” - The order number
[/li][li] “dollar win / loss - how many dollars I have earned on trade
[/li][li]“Pips Win / loss” - how many pips I have earned on trade
[/li][li]“leverage” - what leverage I have
[/li][li]“stop loss” - the stop loss I have
[/li][li]”% risk " - the risk
[/li][li]“units”- I deal with “oanda” so I deal with units not a lots.
[/li][li]“dates” - date trade was closed
[/li][li]“note and status” - status is a ranking system, where “1” is a disaster and “5” is best. Between 1-3 so I write a note stating why it went so bad.

missing any information in the logbook?

next sheet is where you count out “position size.” have not gotten that far on it. I do not really understand what they mean in school. Calculating Position Sizes | Position Sizing | Learn Forex Trading
So far I’ve come when I figure out the EUR / USD

((10000x0,005) / 200) *
this phrase do not get me
((10k units of EUR / USD) / (U.S. $ 1 per pip))?

form must be
((10000x0,005) / 200) * ((10k units of EUR / USD) / (U.S. $ 1 per pip)) = sum
or?

but the plan is that you must enter each pair value and get your position.

could anyone help me with the formula one of the pairs?
