It doesn’t matter if you are trading a demo or going live, a lot size often helps traders in understanding how much to risk and how much they should trade. Better to determine the lost size for trading in the beginning.

PercymcDonnell54 posted:Yeah keeping the leverage pretty low can work well for an effective risk management.Rosstaylorr posted:That seems manageable and honestly I see no harm in being careful while trading. Using stop loss, lower leverage and cost effective brokers can add up to a good risk and money management.donelderly posted:Trading with lower lots can be a very good tip and this also allows a person to manage their accounts well. This will also prevent them from getting any margin call and to avoid that, some measures should be taken. Like when I’m trading with about 1 lot using some platforms (Xtb), I try to keep my leverage low. This allows me to save myself from higher risk. It is better to go with low commission brokers so that you don’t end up losing most of your money in commissions.PercymcDonnell54 posted:That’s right and even for beginners, it is fine that they go with one lot at a time. Much more important is the risk and money management here. Can’t take that lightly.
See you can trade lots according to your risk tolerance. You can try trading 1 lot for the moment if that works for you and keep learning more.

I have been thinking I have reached a point of stagnation from where I can only learn if I put in some real bucks.
Placing that many lot sizes when you are just gathering knowledge is not a good idea, first develop a good strategy and practice on demo.

Thanks for the responses. I just want to clarify one other thing and can someone tell me what are the best currencies to trade, keeping in mind the low lots that I can trade?

Shaunmaxi posted:You can trade currency pairs based on their volatility and how profitable you think they can be for you. With the right strategy and analysis, you can improve your trades. Like I did with USD/JPY and USD/CHF with IB. You can look at different pairs and their pip value will probably depend on the pair you are trading.

As long as you have a good trading strategy and have tested it on a demo account, you can take the step ahead. But make sure that you use stop loss and take profit properly before you run out of time and money.

No one can decide that on your behalf. If you think that you are ready to take such a big step, go for it. But remember that it may or may not come with profits, it will surely come with a life lesson that will change the way you trade forever.

I am sure that you would have given it a thought because this is no joke. You want to risk so much money in one go and that without having much experience with that. I personally prefer trading small lots with xm because they keep you from getting emotional whether you win a trade or not. You can easily handle the results and continue to trade with your strategy without being overly emotional.

When you place more than one lot, you get to scale out more easily as your trade progresses. But as you can never know the outcome of a trade, it can also backfire. I suggest talking to your mentor about this before going ahead with this.

Trading small lots in different positions gives you a good edge. If it goes in your favor, you can close some while letting the others run. This way, you can also focus on your other trades.

Entries, exits, and even risk management can be practiced with virtual money. What matters to the traders like me is to know how to react to big moves in the market with real money. Any thoughts on that?
