{quote} Agreed. Unfortunately, my enjoyment comes from looking at charts all day even if I am losing! To be fair to myself I've had two consecutive months of +10% so things are looking up. Hope to be break-even at the 6 month mark.

{quote} Agreed, I'm risking 0.5% per trade at the moment. But then again I'm a newbie. I guess with more experience then increase your risk, gotta keep an eye on the draw-down though.
The first rule of trading is risk management and applications.
Now we also need to understand why and how to apply risk management.
Why apply risk management? Simple answer is to guide against loss due to exchange rate uncertainties as the higher your stake the highest your risk exposure if it goes against you. Now what I want to explain is how to apply risk management for better results in trading.

The first way to understand the risk is by knowing the capacity with which an exchange can move at a particular time frame, once you know the capacity the exchange rate can move, the first step of your risk management plan is already in place.

Now let me use yearly range as first example...
2017: High 1.3656 - 1.1986 Low = 1670 pips range
2018: High 1.4375 - 1.2475 Low = 1900 pips range
2019 High 1.3513 - 1.1957 Low = 1556 pips range
2020* High 1.3229 - 1.1409 Low = 1820 pips range

From the above years, the exchange rates are very different but the ranges are very similar. The ranges are the whole risk of these years.
Maximum range = 1900 pips
Average range = 1725 pips
Minimum range = 1556 pips

This current 1.2490 has 739 pips range to the high (high 1.3229 - 1.2490 Current price)
This current 1.2490 has 1081 pips range to the low (current price 1.2490 - 1.1409 Low)

This current year 2020 has already completed 94% of its capacity (risk distance) and once the risk distance is already almost completed there is not much risk to insure

Should you sell this current rate 1.2490, your projected maximum risk will be 1.3309 which is 819 pips away from the current price. (1.1409 low + 1900 pips maximum yearly range = 1.3309)

So should you stake 9% of your equity from this current 1.2490, your trade will cover risk of 1.3650 level for the whole year...

Now weekly ranges in the last 13 weeks have been 225 - 400 pips. The current 1.2490 already has distance of 160 pips away from the weekly low, which means maximum risk is 1.2733 should the low of 1.2333 remain unbroken, this means the maximum pips you can potentially lose is 240 pips which chance of occurrence is less than 20%. So staking 3.5% of your equity from 1.2490 can only result to maximum equity damage of 8% before recovery which is also very unlikely..

I will explain more on this ranges and risk management better during the weekend.

Peace

Kidda, means nothing to do with age. It just a nice saying to call someone. Well I hope your health is better now as it’s one of the most precious gifts we take for granted. Well messed that trade up.

Thanks mate... Nothing is certain in forex market but we all have to strive to make something out of it. Ranges also have pitfalls but the pitfalls are very rare. Since 2008 global financial crisis exchange rates have become more regulated to avoid another financial meltdown hence these principles have proven effective except for 2016 brexit referendum which is an anomaly.

I also always look out for your posts too as they have been really helpful.

Cheers.

Trend line intact so far. In with a short at 1.2508. {image}
Closed for +45. Might go lower but don't want to be too greedy.
