What often they do!

[ABDULLAH7]

HELLO .I just want to know how often most traders risk their money in one trade !
is it between (1-5) % and what the worst thing maybe they do !?
Thank you!

I am trying to keep my maximum capital risk to 1%. Occasionally, if I have a good unrealised profit from several open trades on a trending market and am adding more, I will increase this to 2, 3, 4 or even 5% - but never on the first trade.

At 1% risk, I can lose lots of times before being forced to re-capitalise my account.

thank you sir for replying ! so they often risk between 1-5% ! and i think they put their stops up and down Support & Resistance so mostly when the price goes in way they dont want with 5 % they often out ! and when they out we get in with who are still in the war to win with them! thank you now i can see

I would say about 1% myself. I'm still practicing on a demo account, but risk management probably has to be one of the most important aspects of forex trading. I'm still learning all that I can

very good this risk is enough if you are able to turn 1% risk in reward this continuous profi twill make awesome earning calculated after. Then benefit of less risk is you can be out of danger if loose your trade. Increase risk when you are dead sure now you will win the trade. The other way is to walk slowly than of running after big targets. I think 1% risk can be also a challenge to manage because no one want to loose his amount.

Yup, member of the 1% risk here as well. I try to keep it as reduced as possible and to not step out of this line. Still checking the demo from time to time to test some new strategies but overall I'm striving to stick to my initial plan for a certain trade. It doesn't work every time but I guess learning is a never ending process.
