Trading with just $10, what should be my daily profit target? Replied 1 week ago - My opinion, but $10 is too small a capital to trade with. Get a primary source of income so you'd be able to focus on your trading without emotions and unnecessary mistakes. Your can't do risk management with $10, there's not enough space for failure with that. Trading is probability so you should factor that in as well. I'm not saying don't trade. But for now you can try demo trading while you do something else to get money from, and from there you can save up to fund properly. With my 7 yrs of experience trading FX, trust me, this is one advice I wish I took earlier on. But again, it's just an opinion. A few outliers still make it out alive with $10 capital. Very rarely though, but it's not impossible.

death by a thousand papercuts Replied 1 week ago - Take one big trade, and accept the outcome, stop running out of trades due to indecision or fear. this is why it is important for traders to have access to data, because the data makes you more confident in your direction.

Why is consistent risk management the one non-negotiable rule? Replied 2 weeks ago - Summary Strategy gets you in the trade. Risk management keeps you alive to take the next one. You can have the best analysis in the world, but if you donā€™t respect risk, Forex will take your money and move on to the next trader. Master consistent risk management first, drill it until itā€™s automatic then layer everything else on top. This single habit separates the few who survive and eventually thrive from the majority who donā€™t. Treat it as sacred. No exceptions. Your future account balance depends on it.

Japanese boat jump risk management technique Replied 2 weeks ago - This technique is underrated, and is very good. When the boat man jumped onto the bridge, it was like closing a losing trade to cut losses early.

SAFETY OF TRADING ACCOUNT BALANCE Replied 4 weeks ago - With many offshore or unregulated brokers (common for Nigerian traders), this protection is not guaranteed, you could potentially face a negative balance and collection attempts, depending on the broker's terms and jurisdiction. Always verify your broker's regulation and explicitly confirm their negative balance policy in writing before trading. Risk management (stop-losses, proper position sizing) remains the best way to avoid blowing an account entirely. A dedicated wallet for reserves can help psychologically and practically, but it doesn't replace good risk controls.

if you can't take a small loss, you will be forced to take a big one Replied 1 month ago - A refined entry gets you closer, but pairing it with a small buffer beyond the obvious level while adjusting position size to keep risk the same is what actually makes the approach complete.

The Power of Position Sizing (The Most Ignored Forex Skill) Replied 1 month ago - yes, bro . That's true . Market outcomes are very unreliable but predictable in some cases. My strong advice is to always open trades very early when the session is just beginning to give you the opportunity to set your stop loss at a very safe range where you are not likely to be hit no matter the uncertainty of the outcome. It is better your trade runs throughout the day without loss and your equity remains the same than being hit out with your equity swept off, leaving you unable to trade the next day.

How it's Done: Turn off ā€œInstant order placementā€ in Trading settings, click the X on your open position, tick ā€œpartial closeā€, and choose how many units to exit.

The Ten Trade Rule Replied 1 month ago - Treat every 10-trade block as one data point. After each set, calculate your actual win rate, average R:R, and expectancy. Only tweak your strategy if the numbers show a clear edge loss over 2ā€“3 blocks. This stops the ā€œone bad trade = strategy brokenā€ trap.

one impulsive trade can wipe out weeks of profit Replied 1 month ago - Thatā€™s a classic trap. When you feel overly confident in a setup, reduce your lot size instead of increasing it. My suggestions: - Set a fixed risk per trade (e.g. 0.5ā€“1% of account) no matter how sure you feel. - Use a simple rule: The stronger your conviction, the smaller your position size. - Always define stop-loss before entry and stick to it. Overconfidence kills accounts, trade small when youā€™re ā€œcertain.ā€

How To Use Trailing Stop Loss Replied 1 month ago - just tell the trailing stop how many pips of profit you want to be securing as price moves in your favor. Open a trade, right click on it and select "trailing stop". If you select 10 pips then as price moves in your desired direction, every time your profit is up to 10 pips, the system will shift your stop loss accordingly to secure it.

20 pip xauusd loss, how do i recover from it? Replied 1 month ago - Sure you can recover, just put it behind you and move on to the next trade. Losses are unavoidable, but before you enter the next trade, check your trading account balance and open a lot size that is commensurate to your trading account balance. If your account balance is low and you try to trade the same lot size you may get a margin call and your broker will close your trades prematurely
