How would you guys risk if you know for sure that you will get 5 pips ?

I request every other trader there to answer this
I always keep to a limit of 15 pips everyday and always risk 6%. 6% as I have started small, mimicking the real account which I will start very shortly.

I am sorry master. You told us severally that there is no sure trade.

xhale said is going to risk 100%! What if the account is burnt and then price go your way for 5pips lol
He said for sure

I know this will never be and its a hypothetical situation.... but if I were to somehow know without any doubt that price would move 5 pips in one direction. I would risk 100% and TP at the 5 pip target

when you have a lot of money your task is to minimise risk when you go into the trade and not to maksimize profit.

If you minimize risk the profit will come.

So I think we should also answer about stop loss and not only the percentage of portfolio we would invest in trade which will give us 5 pips.

My brother, I love your psychological posts, they provoke much deeper thought.
I believe nothing in life can ever be 100%, as to believe this can and most possibly will lead to your own downfall, and will ultimately be the architect of your own failure. In my opinion be confident in your own ability and trading style, but always strive to improve. Whether your success rate is 100%, 50% or 30% always have a sustainable plan as today's 100% winner can be tomorrows 100% looses.
So my answer to the question would still be to risk no more than 5% of your account and be patience and avoid that temptation to be greedy.

Take good care yourself

Hey WW!

I don't think it would be greedy at all. Simply logical. If price was guaranteed to go in one direction, the only wise option would be to go "all in". There is 0% risk. Obviously I would never do this as nothing is ever 100%, but just for the sake of this question... I would.

The problem part of this question is he's not saying if it may go against you before giving you the guaranteed 5pips...so if it goes back 6 pips before giving you the guaranteed 5 pips your account is blown before you got to the 5 pip mark..

Well that is a different scenario. In that case, I would risk my normal amount.

100% if i had a written agreement to get 5 pips lol
I'd like to change my opinion. Capital protection comes first. Regular risk (1-2%)

Hello Xhale,

Even if todays trade was guaranteed 100%, you would gradually over time want more and more from he same trade fuelling more and more greed, until eventually it WILL bite back at you one way or another.

Take Care

I'm newbie. Please forgive me as I can't stop me to participate. It's so exciting discussion here.
I don't think anybody here would take a trade and aim for only 5 pips. Thus, my answer is NOT willing to risk in this case.

Sorry again.
Accept as it is being!

What's the risk that we can be sure that you are sure? LOL

to cover that risk keep increasing the margin untilyou become confident in the reliability.

But I would never risk more than 40%, there are just some things out of our control, like when comex overnight trebled the margin required for gold, o whn a 9/11 happens
