Next is lot size.

Lot size basically tells us how big our trade position is.

You will commonly hear:

1.00 lot.

0.10 lot.

0.01 lot.

For now, don't worry about memorizing all the calculations.

Just understand that the bigger your position size, the more money you can potentially make or lose from the same price movement.

Another word you will hear is leverage

Leverage allows you to control a larger position with a smaller amount of money.

Sounds attractive, right?

But here is the problem.

Leverage doesn't only increase your potential profit.

It can also increase your potential loss.

So don't hear the word leverage and think is free money.

There is no free money in Forex.

How a Trade Works which is the important part

Now let's imagine I have analyzed GBP/USD.

I believe price is going to rise.

So I decide to BUY.

Let's say I enter at:

1.3500.

I don't just enter the trade and hope for the best.

I need to know:

Where am I getting out out am wrong?

And where am I taking my profit if am right?

That's where Stop Loss and Take Profit come in.

Stop Loss

A Stop Loss is basically a level where your trade will automatically close if price moves against you.

For example:

Entry: 1.3500.

STop Loss: 1.3450.

If price falls to 1.3450, the trade closes and I accept the loss.

Why?

Because I already decided beforehand how much am willing to lose.

Take Profit

Take Profit is the opposite.

It is the level where you want your trade to close in profit.

For example:

Entry: 1.3500.

Take Profit: 1.3600.

If price reaches 1.3600, the trade closes with profit.

So a basic trade can look like this:

Entry β†’ Stop Loss β†’ Take Profit.

Depending on the situation

Now, guys, I want you to pay serious attention to this part because this is one of the most important things am going to teach you today.

Risk management.

A lot of beginners come into Forex asking:

How can I make $100 every day?

That's the wrong first question.

The first question should be:

How much am I willing to lose if this trade is wrong?

Because you are going to lose trades.

I don't care how good a trader you become.

You will lose trades.

The goal isn't to win every trade.

The goal is to make sure that your losing trades don't destroy your account.

For example

Let's say you have a $100 account.

If you decide to risk 1% on a trade, that's $1.

So if the trade loses, you lose approximately $1.

You still have $99.

You can continue trading.

But imagine you start risking $50 on every trade.

One or two bad trades can destroy the account.

That's why professional traders focus heavily on risk management

Risk-to-Reward

Let's say am risking 50 pips to make 100 pips.

Am risking 50 to potentially make 100.

That's a 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio.

If am risking 50 to potentially make 150, that's 1:3

The important thing is not just how much you can make.

You need to know how much you can lose.
