Does position size have anything to do with the number of lots and making the trade profitable?

If you are a new trader then You are taking a lot of risk, first try a demo if you feel that you won’t lose then go for live trading.

While trading, focusing on risk management is quite essential otherwise you can make your account zero immediately. Somewhere, trading larger lots shows the greed of a trader. It might look attractive but bites in the end. Better be careful about the decisions you make.

I trade small lots in different positions with oanda for a good edge in the market. You have the option of closing some and letting others run whenever the need be.

As you have asked it here, you will get answers one way or the other. But it’s how it worked for others. I suggest first test different trade entry methods with a backtesting program and forward test your system in live market conditions. For both of these, use your demo account and not the real money account.

Smaller positions are obviously a better option as you can scale out of them quite easily.

keatonrichard posted:True that! To add to it, I would also like to mention that irrespective of what position size you trade in, make sure that you have a safe stop loss associated with it.
The choice of the right lot size depends on your success rate. Don’t skip things. If you have a success rate of 90% or more, bigger lots are an option. But if you are yet figuring out what works and what doesn’t, don’t waste your money on bigger lots. Go for smaller ones.

I think fewer trades are better as every time you trade, your broker takes away a certain amount in either commission or spread or both. Also, consider your risk to reward ratio. You don’t have to trade more frequently if you trade small lots.

Get the basics right first. Get the proper training and then, commit any hard earned money in forex.

ceceliagreer posted:Even trading with 100 lots with high capital is risky. Set your lot size according to your trading plan and experience.
It depends on your total capital and how much you are willing to trade and invest. If you have a higher capital, you can surely go with 100 lots.
