Forex Risk Management

Risk management helps traders decide how much to risk, how large a position should be, and when leverage is too much for the account.

Why it matters

Good trading decisions start with knowing the risk, the position size, and the conditions that could change execution. A setup can look attractive and still be too large for the account.

Practical checklist

• Define the amount at risk before thinking about profit potential.
• Make sure the stop distance fits the market structure and the account size.
• Check spreads, major economic events, and session volatility.
• Record the trade plan and review the outcome in a journal.
