Hi guys im new in forex which leverage should I use on the micro lot account with $40
Managing risk is very important for every trader. Consistent profit is impossible without proper risk management. So I try to work by maintaining risk after doing technical analysis.

Talking about risk management with a $40 account seems rather irrelevant in my humble opinion.
My advice to you if that’s all you have for trading is to click withdraw & wait until you have something more viable to trade with.
Sounds a lot like gambling to me and that wont take you very far in these market conditions.
Your call…

I’d tend to agree with @FxBrokersEmpire here.
If $40 is all you can start with, I’d say you’d be better putting it in the bank, in a stock such as Amazon or maybe even bitcoin and save cash for later.
I’d say you are better to get a demo account, set it to $1000 and trade with that at LOW position sizes until you are consistently profitable. say 2-3% a month without any losing months.
Then you should have hopefully saved a few hundred bucks you can put in a real account, and just move your exact trading strategy into that account and carry on with real money.

While I appreciate and agree with the posters below, on the assumption that $40 is not going to change your lifestyle, aim to get 500:1 on a 0.01 micro lot, and pray it’s your lucky day.
Whatever the outcome, you’ll eventually learn how one bad trade - or a few consecutive losing trades - blows your account. That’s the reality with small accounts.
fingers crossed…

risk management is really important for avoiding unfortunate losses but the main problem is any kinds of trading plan and risk management not works for all time , its all about short time trading approach
what you think guys there is any difference between money and risk management ? its all about same or any major difference between two ?

the main issue its all bout to avoid unfortunate risk and losses , so i can consider both as same issue , no major difference.
I hope you practice trading on demo well. If you are confident then go for high leverage. Well, there is no trading without any risk.

IMO the simple difference between risk management and money management is as follows:
MM & RM is deciding your lot size and where your stop loss is set to give you a maximum of 1% risk, then MM is cutting a losing trade before it hits the S/L, or letting the trade run into profit, then taking a new position, while moving the S/L towards breakeven to keep RM at 1%.
MM is also used to limit risk exposure to a maximum amount per day, not to risk trading more than two correlated pairs at one time, etc, etc.
I hope that helps define the main differences. Of course, the capital size affects actions taken by both MM and RM. So in essence, manage your money and keep risk to a minimum.
Yes, that’s right. However, I think if there is a plan, even if you lose in one trade, you can make up for it with another trade.
I always manage risk and trade. Even if it ever hits a stop loss, the winning ratio works according to my plan.
