The key takeaways are that trading requires patience, discipline, and proper risk management. It is not a get-rich-quick scheme and destroying your account can be avoided by following a risk management strategy.

The different types of lot sizes discussed are standard lot, mini lot, and micro lot along with their respective units, volumes, and dollar value per pip.

The 2% rule states to never risk more than 2% of your account per trade. It can be applied by only using 2% of capital per trade, or using as much capital as needed but setting a stop loss so no more than 2% of the account is lost if the trade goes against you.

The 2% Rule

Never Risk More Than 2% Per Trade

How much should you risk per trade?


Try to limit your risk to 2% per trade.

Trading rules, especially the 2% rule is the most common and yet also the
most violated rule in trading and goes a long way toward explaining why
most traders lose money. Trading experiences littered with stories of
traders losing years and worth of profits and savings in a single trade. This
is the primary reason why the 2% stop-loss rule must and should never be
violated. No matter how certain the trader may be about a particular out-
come the market would provide or a particular trade setup.

Ways to apply the 2% Rule?

There are two ways traders can apply the 2% rule. The first is to only use
and risk 2% of capital per trade. The second is to use as much capital
needed for a trade, but apply a stop loss to the position so no more than
2% of the account is lost if the trade goes the wrong way (Equal Risk/
Reward Methodology)

The rule is applied so that no single trade causes a massive loss in the
account.

Just imagine that you started trading with $1,000 and lost 50% or $500. It
now takes a 100% or a profit of $500 to bring you back to play. Getting
into this kind of trouble as a trader means that, most likely, you have
reached the point of no return and are at risk for blowing your account.

Fx Mind Builders 1 Months Profit Projection Following The 2% Rules

Applying the 2% rule and taking just 3 trades per-day, you make 6%
profit per day. if you then multiply that by 20 trading days in a month
you get 120% per month.

Of course we have to also keep in mind the losses that might be incurred
within this period, if 1 trade is lost per day your account will only drop by
2% which can possibly be made back on the next trade you take.

The whole purpose of the 2% rule is to ensure that you trade with
purpose, discipline and proper money management.

Why the 2% Rule?

The best way to avoid such a fate is to never suffer a large loss. That is
why the 2% rule is so important in trading. Losing only 2% per trade
means that you would have to sustain 10 consecutive losing trades in a
row to lose 20% of your account. Even if you sustained 20 consecutive
losses - and you would have to trade extraordinarily badly to hit such a
long losing streak - the total drawdown would still leave you with 60% of
your capital intact. While that is certainly not a pleasant position to find
yourself in, it means that you need to earn 80% to get back to play - a
tough goal but far better than wiping off your account.

The art of trading is not about winning as much as it is about not losing.
By controlling your losses, much like a business that contains its costs, you
can withstand the tough market environment and will be ready and able
to take advantage of profitable opportunities once they appear. That's
why the 2% rule is the one of the most important rules of trading.
Trading Rules & Guidelines

Firstly, What Is Break Even?

The term defined to mean when a trader takes the stop loss on one
position and pulls it past the entry price making the trade risk free.

Why Use Break Even?

To protect your hard earned cash on a position. It is also a great way of


defining a trade profit point where you have decided that if the market
comes back on you, you do not want to be in that trade. Another aspect of
trend evidence trading here as well.
So overall while using break even is optional to a trader and some traders
just prefer to take partials as there trade moves more into profit, it is a nice
option to have for those remaining positions.

Partial close
Partial close is one of the forex exit strategies that are available at the
disposal of forex traders. It is a forex exit strategy that a trader can use to
exit his trade in a simplier fashion instead of just exiting the trade at one
time. It is used to close a portion of a trade as the profits start to roll in so
as to secure some level of profit no matter what could happen later. Partial
close helps ensure, at least, small amount of profit when trading is
favorable
