Why Position Sizing Matters
Proper position sizing is the foundation of risk management in forex trading. It ensures you never risk more than you can afford to lose on a single trade.
Professional traders typically risk 1-2% of their account per trade. This allows them to withstand losing streaks without devastating their trading capital.
Position Sizing Formula
Position Size = (Account × Risk%) / (Stop Loss × Pip Value)
This formula ensures your position size is proportional to your account balance and risk tolerance, while accounting for your stop loss distance.
