{quote} hey man, Just a question, for a professional entry, what lot size one should tarde with 1k account with 1 : 500 leverage
posting this, not directed to you, but to any brother newbie that wants to keep alive on the trading world.
trading is so exciting that new traders just want to get in market, as sooner, as better. This, by itself is the fastest way to get ripped off.
we see this very often. people just came to trading, see some system/strategy like akim's, they read, they think they understand, and they are ready!
it looks so easy, that the dream goes high!
they forgot the mental part.
Emotions is deadly.
no one becomes a trader if can't accept a loss without emotion.
so, how to deal with it when we are rookies?
all trades must be planned, it's not just a question to find the best place to enter. What if we are wrong? Should we take the loss? YES.
if we are wrong, we deserve the loss.
so, how do we survive?
1st we should manage, really understand the system/strategy, then protect your money before you even get into trading.
as my signature always reminds, "if you don't know how to earn money, don't loose it".
if you don't loose, you will be close to win.
for all the rookies, i truly believe that the lot calculator is fundamental.
until one really manage emotions, one should always use this lot calculator.
i used it for years... now i do it mentally.
so, newbie, before enter long or short, set your SL (it can be mental). define your risk (%) based on SL (pips).
define your TP (pips).
if SL (pips) > TP (pips), consider in not take the trade or reduce risk!
use it over and over, allways, until you feel ok with your losses.
this lot calculator will help you to protect your account, not getting your account blown.
Hopefully, with time (not everyone can do it) you will accept naturally the losses.
you will loose fear, you will dominate emotions (eventually).
of course, then study your losses, bla, bla, bla, to get better, bla, bla, bla.
that's ground zero, IMO.
but then it's just me... but i believe this is my best advice.
adjust your lot according to your account size and risk.
with account growing, lot size will increase, NOT YOUR RISK!
"Oh, i made 10 winning trades consecutive, and my account grown 25%! I started with 1000$ and with 10 trades, 0 losses, i'm up to 1250$, in a single day! I crack it. I will raise my risk and i will make 25000$ in 2 weeks"!
WRONG!
Buy growing account, one should increase lot size, not the risk.
Stay cool.
If you don't know how to earn money, don't loose it.

You are right, greed is also a real problem. But is also mental. and can only be beaten with discipline. Most of the time it leads to overtrading, no money is enough...
this can only be treated (yes, treated) like a virus...stay home, stay out.
same as knowing SL to avoid to broke account, TP is fundamental to avoid greed.
one should have a TP for every single trade. PERIOD. if tp is achieved, close the trade. who cares if after goes 200 pips in your trade direction, you got your share already. if TP is not achieved, close it at BE or BE+1.
one trading day should have a TP as well. if my target is to increase my account 1% (or 2%) per day, i stop trading when target is achieved. PERIOD.
easy to do? NO? then you are still greed.
work on that.
set a reliable day target. people tend to react "1% (or 2%) account grown per day?" , "that's nonsense", anyone can do 10% or 20%".
that's greed talking. and we know where greed can lead.
to save us from greed the vaccine is previous post (lot calculator). you will not dye from greed, but you will remain sick...
