Guide For Starters In Forex Race - Part 3 - Manage Your Money - Be Profitable Consistently
By Cas Jones
Risky forex starter usually thinks that the only way to big profits in the forex market in a short-time periods is to risk more of his trading capital, but in fact all he is doing is just... gambling - no more, no less!
Of course, he may get lucky and hit five-ten (maybe even twelwe-fifteen) profitable trades in a row generating a decent profit, but what happens if the next twenty five trades all generate losses? If he's still risking large sums of money on each trade he'll soon be back to where he started from, or more likely in an even worse situation - huge loss.When you start Forex trading, just like any other form of trading, you aren't guaranteed to make money all the time.
Experienced and skilled forex traders are aware of this, and they know that some of their trades may and will be losses. But they remain successful in their forex trading strategies because they have an exact plan for these losses so that in the long run they are still profitable no matter what happens on the foreign exchange market in the short-time periods. A disciplined Forex starter will only risk a smaller percentage of his or her investment deposit on each trade, either he is trading on a mini-forex account or a standard forex account.
Sure, the profits will be smaller in the short term compared to a more aggressive Forex player, but when the downturn begins (and it most definitely will), the Forex trader practicing wise money management will be able to financially survive this market storm far better than the aggressive trader will.
Consider this example: a new trader finds a Forex trading system that proves around 60-65% successful, definitely a system to hold on to. What this means is that out of every one hundreds deals executed, around 60-65 will be profitable.
The problem is the trader doesn't know which of the trades will be successful and which will cause a loss. What if the first 35 trades executed with this system generate losses, while only the next 65 generate profit? If the trader has not practiced money management properly he may have lost all of his trading money on those first 35 deals.
It may not be the most exciting strategy, but as for me I think you're not in the Forex trading business for thrills, you're in it to generate long-term healthy profits. Using anything other than wise money management when investing in the FOREX market is simply gambling, and if you want to gamble then you'd better do it at Las Vegas. Even experienced casino players, usually called "gamblers" by spectators, often use money management. So should you as a trader in my humble opinion.
