Moneymanagement

Whats the difference between Risk Management & Money Management?TLDR: Risk management generally is determining what portion of your capital you are willing to risk in a trade and staying true to that. Money management is how you would spend the money earned (in this case through trading) . Eg : Rather that withdrawing all the profits from your account you can let it be there and compound it, or rather than spending it on unnecessary luxuries you can save it for a rainy day . _________________ Full: This is something I usually get asked many times by new starters in trading as they are both common terms that you will hear as you learn about trading and investing. They are both vital concepts but it's important that you know the difference between them. Money management refers to the processes of budgeting, saving, investing, spending, or otherwise overseeing the capital usage of an individual or group. The term can also refer more narrowly to investment management and portfolio management. Money management broadly refers to the processes utilised to record and administer an individual's, household's, or organisation's finances. Financial advisors and personal finance platforms such as mobile apps are increasingly common in helping individuals manage their money better. Poor money management can lead to cycles of debt and financial strain. In the financial world, risk management is the process of identification, analysis, and acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in investment decisions. Essentially, risk management occurs when an investor or fund manager analyses and attempts to quantify the potential for losses in an investment, such as a moral hazard, and then takes the appropriate action (or inaction) given the fund's investment objectives and risk tolerance. Risk is inseparable from return. Every investment involves some degree of risk, which is considered close to zero in the case of a U.S. T-bill or very high for something such as emerging-market equities or real estate in highly inflationary markets. Risk is quantifiable both in absolute and in relative terms. A solid understanding of risk in its different forms can help investors to better understand the opportunities, trade-offs, and costs involved with different investment approaches.

US500 - swing trading plan and technical analysisThe major US index is ''suffering'' a healthy correction from around 4750 ATH set in November roughly 2 weeks ago! The volatility is quite high, thus the risk has increased in addition to potential return. You know how it works... ...higher risk - higher return. At the moment my total stock market exposure is around $50k and from current level I am planning to hold at least until 4900, which means around 7.2% profit potential at the time of writing. Also I am ready to double my total speculative exposure based on the scenarios you can see on the chart. Fundamentally we have the potential to grow. Omicron might end the covid pandemic, due to its' not so severe effect. Tapering means that the US economy is healthy and can sustain itself without drug money. The US yields should not grow extremely. Oil market is in balance right now and backwardation is almost gone. Reopening economy stocks potentially can be well-bid. Major tech stocks are also having bright future earnings outlook. Risk and money management is very important. Patience as well.

SIZE MATTERS ! ! ! - MONEY/RISK MANAGEMENTThe temptation of bigger lots is something all traders experience in some parts of their journey. Yes the wins can be nice but the losses can be even greater and damaging. The benefits outweigh every time!!! MOVE BIG RANGE We cannot emphasize enough the benefits of breaking down lot sizes to micro lots to learn how to move and maneuver the range in a volatile market. Small lots allow you to do this. MORE FLEXIBILITY The flexibility to add to positions or get better entries is only possible when account is not exposed. Smaller lots give you the flexibility to chop and change and add to positions. Allowing you to move big ranges and making changes throughout the move. POWER OVER FEAR Bigger lots exposes our accounts, which makes decision making very hard due to fear of loss and blown accounts. Small lots allow you to control and manage fear throughout the process. STRONG PSYCHOLOGY Having power over your fears is the greatest feeder to a strong psychology for a traders mindset. String psychology allows a trader to build consistent performance and profits. LIVE TO FIGHT ANOTHER DAY The ability to get second chances is something everyone can appreciate in life. Smaller lots allow you to make mistakes and try again. Hope some of our new traders find this information useful. Please do like, comment and follow to support our work. We really appreciate it!

BASIC MONEY MANAGEMENT - LOT SIZE VS REVERSAL AND ACCOUNT SIZEWe see too many new traders trade with random lot sizes with no understanding on the impact it has on account sizes, which result in not only losses but BLOWN accounts. This post is by no means a risk or money management strategy but more so just basics on the movement of reversals and how the lot sizes impact the value of your account during this reversal. Trading with the right lot sizes allows a trader to manage their account/money when the trade goes against them. The right size allows a trader to move a range without blowing their account and without seeing their account reverse to the point of no equity. This type of trading gives traders anxiety and in return this anxiety impacts trading psychology. This then has a ripple effect and impacts your trading decisions and analysis. The example we show on the chart is an entry of SELL that reverses by 380 PIPs. This movement happened in literally 2 candles (1hour candles) , so in two hours the price from entry reversed by 380 pips. This example then shows what this equates to in monetary value dependent on lot sizes. The example shows that anyone with a £500 account trading this movement with a lot size of 0.20 would have blown their account. Lot size usage should be based on the size of your account for example; £500 size account - we will only use 0.01 size lot sizes with maximum deployed total no more than 0.05. This will allow an account to survive volatile movements. Also using stop losses ontop of this setup further strengthens the risk management. £1000 size account - we will use 0.02 lot sizes with maximum deployed total no more then 0.10 any given time. £2000 size account - we will use 0.03 lot sizes with maximum deployed total no more then 0.30 any given time. £5000 size account - we will use 0.06 sizes with maximum deployed total no more then 0.50 any given time. Basically 0.10 for every £!000, as the total deployed usage allows us enough flexibility of movement on the chart and then using stop losses ontop of this, gives us further control of our money management. We hope this quick basic insight helps some of the newbies better manage their lot size usage. Please like, comment and follow us to support our work, we really appreciate it! GoldView

EURUSDHey Traders, in this session we're monitoring EURUSD for a selling opportunity around 1.1598 area, i'm bullish on USD this week for most pairs, once i will notice any bearish confirmation the trade will be executed. it's very necessary to take money management in consideration in this type of trades since market movements are more violent on bigger frames comparing to small time frames. also remember to risk 1% of your account size at each trade. 1% means 100 losing trades in a row will knock you out from the market which more unlikely. but if you trade without money management and you risk 20% 25% we're not talking about forex we talk about gambling and we talk about 4-5 losing trades in a row will knock you out from the market. Trade safe, Aim big, risk small. Joe.
