  • What's the best lot size to use in forex? If you don't know what lot size should you trade your $100, $500 or $1000 account with, you will know how by the end of this video.
    There are many factors that determine what lot size to use. 2 forex traders who both have a $500 account each will probably trade with different lot sizes due to these different factors.
    A lot of people like to ask me what lot size should i trade with a $100 or $1000 account? I can't give them an exact answer because that is like asking me "what car should i buy?"
    To calculate lot size properly you will also need to learn pip value, which I'll have it explained in this video as well. In general, the best lot size to use for beginners is as low as possible while making sure that you're not chickening out too much.

    Thank you COACH...very very important lesson for NEWBIE TRADERS...ofcoz im an advanced trader and im happy to hear this from you..
    Traders, In Forex there is no LUCK or GET RICH QUICK...if you want to be successfull in this INDUSTRY, Then Education First, as soon as you get the knowledge, follow these steps.
    1-Start with $1000 Account(Lot Size 0.01), Keep Trading With That Lotsize untill You Reach $2000, then From $2000 use 0.02...$3000 use 0.03, $5000 use 0.05, $10,000 use 0.10...
    2-Risk Per Trade 1% or 0.5%
    3-Risk REWARD Ratio Atleast 1:2.
    (50 pips Stop Loss And Take Profit 100 pips).
    4-Do Not Bother To Move Stoploss, doing This Will kill Your R:RR, Give The Market Freedom and Let The Market Breathe and ofcoz let The Market HIT your TP and your SL...
    5-Discipline, Control Your Emotions, Do Not Let The Market Control Your Emotions.
    6-Do Not Be A BreakEven Trader and Do Not Be A Revenge Trader.
    7-Accept A Loosing Trade, Be HAPPY when the Market HITS Your Stop Loss, Cause You Don't Owe The Market, and The Market Owes You Nothing..
    Thank Me Later...

    Therefore , 200 usd capital × 100 usd leverage = 20,000 usd buying and selling power .
    So, I " Cant " trade 1 Lot or 100, 000 dollars because my sell & buy power is only 20,000 is that correct?

    - - -° - one thing I learnt from forex is when to close a position in the just time, because the price can return back then a win become loss, It just happened to me this week, now I have a sport shoes to wear then to do some sport ( the refuge), you are beautiful my little miss Karen.

    • @traderlii5475
      @traderlii5475 3 года назад

      Yep i agree, most of RETAIL TRADERS, they use this technic, acting like they are right and think they protecting their profit, but as you said a win trade becomes a loss, cause they move their stoploss too soon and too quickly to Breakeven as soon the market goes to 20 pips above or below the entry, then gues what, the market comes back and hit their new stoploss...then 3 or 4 hours later, the market shoots up or down and hit their 100 pips TP...but unfortunately the Newbie gets nothing, because of moving his/her SHITTY stoploss and end up getting angry for him/her self, which is a really really a huge problem for RETAIL TRADERS...
      to me i prefer to wait the market and HIT my SL or my TP...moving stoploss to Breakeven doesn't make a sense in my opinion....

    We are all here to provide information on forex / binary options trading ... these platforms are risky to trade without in-depth knowledge or professional guidance as we both know. And at the same time the platforms are highly profitable when the necessary guidelines are obtained from experienced traders. I have been trading binary options for a long time and I agree with many of the comments if you get into this blind then you expect to lose your money. But I leave you with my biggest advice .. If you are new to this game or want to start trading, maybe you have been trading for a while but you still don't have good profits .. Don't give up. Take your time to research from each platforms to seek professional guidance. That's how I did it and I became a successful trader today.
