How Much Do You Risk Per Trade?

b) 1%

Less than 1% on my main account, no more than 20% on my high risk account.

0.25 - 0.30% max.

around 0.3%

Trading at 2% allows you to live to trade another day. More will slowly kill your account.

10% risk , trade with consistent lot. Good luck

I trade hotforex, and to be honest i learned to live by the 2% rule,, but i still at times risk up to 10% a trade but i only make a couple of trades a week, s i guess its ok..

Just go through this article.You can realize the difference between risking a small or a big percentage of your capital.

Maximum of 3% never more, however it is normally much less

I never ever trade more than 52%. Why waste time? Which is not what I intend to do here.

6 pages of people saying what % they trade? looooooooooooool

No more than 1%(max2%) of your capital on each trade.

I use 1:2 RR , and i make coupound interest , basically each time i start a new sequence , i only risk 1% of my account , and i can reach 50% in profits easily risking always only 1%

I usually risk 0,8-1,5% per trade

I normally take risk less than 1% . I calculate before trading how much I can bear loss easily then I decide about risk . 0.5 to 1 percent risk is enough for a trader. Much risk is much dangerous. In forex we have to show patience to go forward not take much risk in just one trade.

Depends on the trade, the length of time and currency pair.

No hard and fast set rules in this business, just opportunities and know when to take them and know when to not.

Forex is a very risky business so we have to be careful with the risk. we have to take risks in accordance with our abilities. for that I chose 2% risk in forex trading

larger accounts its easier to risk 2%, but realistically speaking, we do risk more than that with smaller accounts like a couple of thousands right?

So far, risk is relative to my entry profit/position size and how long I want to hold a position.

I want to risk nothing. My risk is essentially the size of the entry position.

If I am trading with ranges, I don't see any risk involved without something catastrophic occurring. Then I would get out asap.

5% for a small account (under £1000) and then around 3% for anything bigger.

Who cares.
