I guess, I'm missing something here..

If we for example risk 1% and change the stop loss distance by lowering the distance or make bigger is this could change the risk %? I just confuse between the risk % and the stop loss distance.

    • @ahmedkwaqil1951
      @ahmedkwaqil1951 Год назад +15

      I think it should be divided by 100,000. Because we know that when we enter a lot size we dealling with standard lot which is 100,000 units ( 1 micro = 1000 units , 1 mini = 10,000 , 1 standard = 100,000 ), so for example if it's 2000 units you will put in a lot size box 0.02 because we will divided it by 100,000 and it seems logically. and for your next question I think if you change your stop loss the units will change to fit exactly to your risk percentage that you are already putted, so the risk % would never go up or down than you put. { Note that I'm still beginner and I've never traded yet }
