The Sneaky Way To Managing Losses In Your Forex Trading
By David Jenyns, Wed Dec 7th

One of the cardinal rules of Forex trading is to keep yourlosses small. With small Forex trading losses, you can outlastthose times the market moves against you, and be well positionedfor when the trend turns around. The proven method to keepingyour losses small is to set your maximum loss before you evenopen a Forex trading position. The maximum loss is the greatestamount of capital that you are comfortable losing on any onetrade. With your maximum loss set as a small percentage of yourForex trading float, a string of losses won`t stop you fromtrading. Unlike the 95% of Forex traders out there who losemoney because they haven`t applied good money management rulesto their Forex trading system, you will be far down the road tosuccess with this money management rule.

What happens if you don`t set a maximum loss? Let`s look at anexample. If I had a Forex trading float of $1000, and I begantrading with $100 a trade, it would be reasonable to experiencethree losses in a row. This would reduce my Forex tradingcapital to $700. What do you think those 95% of traders say atthis time? They would reason, "Well, I`ve already had threelosses in a row. So I`m really due for a win now."

They would decide they`re going to bet $300 on the next tradebecause they think they have a higher chance of winning.

If that trader did bet $300 dollars on the next trade becausethey thought

they were going to win, their capital could bereduced to $400 dollars. Their chances of making money now arevery slim. They would need to make 150% on their next trade justto break even. If they had set their maximum loss, and stuck tothat decision, they would not be in this position.

Here`s a perfect illustration why most people lose money in theForex trading market. Let`s start out with another $1,000 float,and begin our Forex trading with $250. After only three lossesin a row, we`ve lost $750, and our capital has been reduced to$250. Effectively, we must make 300% return on the next tradeand that will allow us to break even.

In both of these cases, the reason for failure was because thetrader risked too much, and didn`t apply good money management.Remember, the goal here is to keep our losses as small aspossible while also making sure that we open a large enoughposition to capitalize on profits. With your money managementrules in place, in your Forex trading system, you will always beable to do this.
