Hi there, can someone please take a quick glance at this, and tell me if this is a solid risk management plan to start with? I will modify it as time goes on, and my trading habbits change, but for now this is the basic guidelines I have set up. Starting Balance: $5000.00 Risk Tollerance %: 5% MAX stop loss: 50 pips PiPs per week goal: 80 Pips MAX std lots per trade: 100 Anything I should change, or Add? Thanks, really appreciate it!
Dear Sir You are false from start 1.Divide your capital atleast on 2 accounts ,better on 4 accounts 2. Exist not fixed stop 50 pips for different pairs 3. Better not send to any broker any cent with exception ,which you won by trader contest without charge as prize money And if it the case better start mini account with 250$ 4.... PiPs per week goal: 80 Pips That is unscientifc objective ,against game theory Puankare,Shannon,Jvon Neumann Your respectfully
You should be fine with USD/CAD. Eur/usd movement might stop you out a bit more. I have no idea what the previous poster was talking about.
I think I figured out what sssssss,ss is trying to say. By winning a contest, perhaps your skills will have developed to the point of being profitable with "real money". Still not convinced on having 4 accounts, though.
You said Risk Management. PiP goals and lots have little relation to this. They should be treated as seperate parts of your trading plan. Risk % should always apply to the current balance in the account and be maintained without exception. I assume you are doing some type of position or swing trading. I believe a 50 pip stop on the Euro is viable only on wide ranging days. Homework should varify this. As far as the Looney its simply too many pips in relation to its daily movement. If I had a stop that wide I would preempt it with a breach of support/resistance or solid price levels of 00/50. I concur that lot size must be typo. Best of luck.
