Tips for Trading with a Small Account www.financial-spread-betting.c... Regular traders with large accounts may have an edge over the beginning trader who only has a small trading account. When you have a large account, you can afford to make trades which involve risk. As mentioned previously, many professional traders will only risk losing 1% to 2% of their account on any one trade.
Once again, this doesn’t mean that you only put 1% or 2% of your money into the market. You have to go through the process of determining where your stop loss will be, and also take into account your projected profit level, as well as the probabilities that the trade will go in your favour. It’s something that you will have to work at until it becomes second nature.
When you’re starting to trade, obviously you do not want to risk a lot otherwise your career may be very short lived. If you have a small account, it is even more important to learn quickly how to be successful at trading. And success doesn’t come just because you put in the time - there are many tales of people with large accounts who have managed to lose it all, and have to go back to doing something else in order to earn money to live.
But arguably, even if you have a small account it is possible to make a go of trading. You may have to take a little more risk than with an established account in order to trade up to a level where you have the freedom to always keep the level of risk low. You have to accept that you may make an error that sets you back to where you started, but if you can take on more risk to get the high rewards, you should be able to build your account up to a decent level.
Obviously, you can’t treat your small account wholly like a large account - earning a few percentages a month on a large account can be fine, but a few percentages a month on a small account will never grow it. This means you have to watch for your opportunity, using what experience you can learn and gain, and wait for a time when the market conditions are right, the entry conditions are right, and everything seems to point in your favour.
On those special occasions, consider multiplying up your stake. If the market suits, you may be able to do this on successive trades, and lift your account value by an order of magnitude.
This is not for the faint hearted, and is also not for the novice who is still finding their way around the markets. But at some stage if you work diligently you will build up your experience and be able to sense when the time is right. Take care of your small account until you reach that stage, and it will allow you to build your experience. When the time is right, see if you can move up to having a larger account by taking more speculative but careful trades.

Problem with high risk is you don't know what's gonna happen next regardless of how sure you are. If you do high risk you better be experienced :)
This is why this video is extremely good advice:
1) He does mention that 1-2% should be used if you are a beginner.
2) He says you can use +-10% when the setup is right. You would not know when the setup is right as a beginner but i can assure you that with experience, you do know when the PROBABILITY for a particular trade is higher than normal. This is a time when higher risk is justified.
i liked the ending of the video " at some point you have to take the Risk " . Very well said, i used to take fixed 1% Risk on my capital, it didn't land me anywhere, now i know it is much better to make your Risk Variable. Thanks
Thank you UK for keeping your channel simple and informative. You're not trying to sell anything. So many traders or so called traders trying to sell their skills. Surprised you don't have 1Mil subscribers. You should.
The problem with small accounts is the broker can close your trade when the margin gets below 150, and that can happen quickly with a large spread. That being said, I know a guy that made over $1milion in 4 years starting with a $2500.00 account
He is right. Small account is not worth the time if you don't grow it to a large account
A possible alternative is to risk 1% on trades with a realistic chance of a higher gain (say 3%). Thereby growing your monetary risk not your % risk.
Well even if you stick with 1% to 3% risk on each trade you will make hell lot of money in long term. I did Math.
Any chance you can share this math of yours with us please???
Haha. Go Math!
How much profit do you make on each trade? I also did math and I can tell you this: 1% times 1% is 0.01%.
Agreed a 3 to 1 risk reward ratio is very profitable if you win 6 out of 10
i agree
i found this very inspirational, thank you very much.
"When you've made some money you can afford to take more risk with that money" is just arrant nonsense.
Making money is hard. Keeping it is harder. Suddenly blowing up your risk management because you have 'more' is childish nonsense. It's like the 'just keep doubling your bet till you win' strategy. Simple, brilliant and 💩
Well said! Thank you Sir...
Love listening to you. you are a great teacher
In my opinion, a small account is one where, after dividing the account into at least, say, ten positions, the round-trip commission is more than 1/2% of each position. In other words, the account is so small, that after diversifying, commissions become significant.
You risk 10% of your account when you have all the conditions right.
You're going with the trend.
There's a clear resistance level that's been tested and holds many times nearby to S/L.
The sentiment is on your side.
There is little news events that may cause major swings in the opposite way.
You do it when you're so sure about it that you, irrationally, would be okay with putting in much much more than 10% of your account if you didn't respect risk management.
1-3% of your account is easily 10-20% a month returns, and that's fucking great.
But you're damn-right, when that guy comes around that screams "I can double your account in mere days" spend HOURS analyzing it. Look up everything on it and calculate for everybodies sentiment. Spend the time roughing through the noise. Then go balls deep in it, close your trading platform, and check back and see if you need to move your S/L up because you did good, or if you were wrong, but never close that trade before your S/L as it's unacceptable.
If closing it before your S/L is a real option then the trade was not worth a 10% risk. It wasn't a trade you should have went in on at all, or more than a couple percent of your account. Hands of steel.
Many here, and other traders, will say this lad is wrong and giving bad advice.
But he's not.
These opportunities aren't ones you see everyday. These come around once in weeks, potentially months in a single pair. But if you catch it by god you'll be euphoric when you're right. For example, look at the Turkish currency vs basically anything, a week or two ago it flashed. If you had your buy orders in right you'd have walked away with massive profits. Thousands on a mere hundred dollar account.
When the Swiss crash happened, knowing the swiss economy is good, if you had strong hands and played the obvious over-sold play, you'd have walked out screaming into many many many thousands.
But these happen rarely, weeks, months, or even years for the very big ones. Take them when they come. They're life-changing.
Best comment I've read in a while. Great advice
Let me get this right. If you trade with 1% of your account, and you make 1% profit. You end up with 0.01% profit in total (regarding your whole account).
Example:
Account size: $10,000. 1% is $100. You make a successful trade and make 1% profit = You earn 1 Dollar.
If you do this 30 days a month, you will have earned = (1.01 ^ 30 * $100) - $100 = $34.
Yes, you made a 34% return, but on ONE PERCENT of your account size - which is completely useless. Might as well be flipping burgers at Mcdonalds for $15/ hour. I don't get it. How are you expecting 20% a month returns? That's completely impossible doing it this way.
VivaMessico this is wrong. If you have $10.000,- account, you risk 1% of your account which is $100,-. But you expect to make let’s say 2-3% which is $200 - $300,- that means risk/reward ratio 1:2, 1:3
It is not 1% of 1%. Someone doing that is a bad trader. It is 1% of the total capital. The thing is risking 1 to get 1, or 2, or even 3...
You don't trade with 1% of your total account in each trade, you open your position with X% of your account and place your S/L so that you can only lose a maximum of 1% of your total account if it goes wrong, and close your position when your profits are equal to or greater to 1% of your total account (it should actually be higher on your targeted profits). So your example should be this:
Account size: $10,000. 1% of that is $100. You buy 5,000 worth of a thing. If the value of that thing falls by 100 (2% of the opening price, but 1% of your total account), you sell and eat the loss. If it raises by 100, you sell and have added 1%.
That's what they mean by only risking 1% of your account in a given trade. Your example would require that there was a way to lose every penny of each position that you opened.
Thank you for this man!! As a beginner trader I am always wondering how people grow their accounts and they always tell me to use 0.01 lots and I am still working with it, still learning some new stuff but they never really told me to risk more if you're strategies are becoming very good/consistent.
I love your explanation. It made sense to me practically
Trading 4x, I saw what you did there.
My approach is compounding the account at a fixed percentage. Increasing your risk drastically in this video (x, 2x, 4x, 8x, etc.) will stand a strong chance of being wiped out when the small account is still building it's foundation. Patience + Fixed % Target = Consistent Profit
Well said hunni... thanks brother
A couple grand to start can grow quite a lot if you study a volatile market, learn how it flows, and go hard on the best set ups that have 1:5 1:10 risk reward
I don't agree with this theory. If you trade like you have a big account you will end up with heart attack. You always have to trade with an amount that you really don't care if you loose it. With an account that when you are in trouble you can double your money in order not to loose them. You must always take the 2/3 of your profits out. You just leave the 1/3 to get you more trade power, the other 1/3 you have it on safety and the 3rd 1/3 you must spent it, cause life is sort
Great video, finally some one who said it. Can’t win the raffle if you don’t buy the ticket!
Thanck You! You are a good teacher!:)
Great advice really good practical advice. Thanks for passing your experience on.
This is most likely for the experience and skillful trader. If you just started u might have to find out is this good for you lolz. Good luck in your trading and have a fruitful journey:)
I might deposit 10 percent into my account a month for the boost. But keep my capital where it is
Great Video! Thank you!
or you can just trade fundamentally and not take huge risks and be consistent. All that time recovering from a huge risk loss could be time grinding along without the loss. Nothing wrong with being the turtle instead of the hare.
What I needed to here thanks
This Video's message is for those with eyes to see and ears to hear the underlying.. I have always questioned the hard-line 2% per trade rule (and I'm sure I'm not alone). I thought he was careful in positioning his view.
muurish1 The Logos(word) and symbols
LOVE your videos Mark, thank you for the time and effort.
Question: you say if you're making just one or two percent per trade you won't really make money.. Why?
I've been averaging about 0 5% with a 80% accuracy... Have doing it for a few months and and net return after commissions has been about 2% per month.. if I get annualised returns of 24% isn't that good?
Thank u sir for giving me good knowledge
Market is chaos and it needs discipline to work around it. You mean to judge the edges of a particular trade and then play with the risk management? I don't think subjectivity works for everybody..
Anything can happen, there is not bigger or lower edges trades. There is just one kind of trade: the one that calls for your setup.
Then you enter. Relentlessly. No distinction.
That's why I support equal and controlled risk management to avoid further drawdowns.
You can skip the first 2:30 of this video to get to the actual content
Dude... spot on!!
Trading since several years. I find your videos very good with smart tips and explanations. Guess it's the first time I find someone publicly saying the better way to grow is to increase the risk which is in my opinion the only way possible. Lots of people stopping frustrated with the 1% theory stuff which allow enormous profits on an enormous account but on a small account is definitely not worth the patience and effort involved.
Luca Zanetti exactly as you say. If great trade comes along you have to push it. Where you will get if you risk $100,- on those few excellent trades that will come per year. If somebody is not able to recognize them, then OK stay with little money.
EXACLY... 80% of people here don't understand that this applies for starting out with small amount of money!! if you start with 500-1000$ lets say... with that 1% you will make 2-4k in one year... it will take 4-5 years to get to a considerable amount of money without touching anything in the account! Like you said... is just not worth the time and stress...
My advice, trade on demo for one year, get your trading strategy well, win consistently for one year, be confident in your trading... then start with a small amount and take big risks not thinking about the money... do not deviate from your strategy, be disciplined, and you will get to that 10x or 20X!
@@Gforever80 it is all about emotions even after 1 year of demo trading (you do not really loss money nor make money) when you start trading with real money you are experiencing something exponentially different
my opinion i consider 1%-3% profit rule for 1st year of real trading is a learning investment then when you feel you are ready, you can amp things up (but carefully)
This video has very good information, I've found it useful
Good Video, thank you!
Small account is the one that the PDT rules apply to in the states, so anything less than 25k USD
Very solid advice!
Grow slowly and save half first before taking risks,note your risk could end up as loss.. expect anything from the market.
I have been watching this video for 2 years.
I just re-wrote my entire Playbook, working in unity with a friend. I think I finally understand 80% of what you are talking about. The market is closed at this moment, but it feels like something has finally CLICKED! I am going to spend the next week with my new trade strategies and playbook to get some stats on where my new A+ trade is. I am ABSOLUTELY going to put this information in play to get more aggressive EXACTLY where my strengths are.
Regardless of the outcome...
THANK YOU!!!!
James this is really interesting. Have you been really watching this video for two years? You say after two years of watching this video, you finally understand 80% of it… I love it 😂👍
Took me 6 months demo trading before finally starting a live account. I started with $200 dollar. I won't risk more than 1% of my account and so far I have grown it to $330.... after a month.
Be very careful when you risk (on) 4x (Forex) :D
lol
Haha 😁 funny
Everytime i watch a video it kind of brings me back again to your channel , I like how truthful and realistic you are, plus I love the way you do not like to go by the book,, because if every respective trader or trading instructor is just repeating the other over and over again they will just sound like tv commercials which to mean ZERO credibility..
thanks for the hard work ..
Great video. Aiming for 3 winners in a row for example at minimum RR 2:1 may accelerate your account by leveraging your profit from previous trade each time. Then if successful, reset initial risk lower again accordingly to your new account level til you get another win and then attempt another sequence with that win's profit. Got to have an excellent strategy though and be an adept trader though to make it work.
Great video!
great video
Nice advice
Higher risk earns you higher profit, lesser risk and you know it. Compounding small amount is great, and so is taking big risk every now and then. It could make you or break you. Warren and all those guys do it.
very good video im new too trading I have been learning about a year just retire and swing trading I always wanted to do now im retire I have time to learn swing trading dont want to lose tons of money so starting off slow are you going to have any more video 's in the future thanks
after that you
1 double your account balance and keep doubling the number of contracts accordingly
Don't agree with you, but it's really each one for himself. That's the great thing about trading.
A measured point of view without trolling. Awesome! Credit to you.
Spot on advice but 2x, 3x etc… should first be detailed in the risk management part of your trading plan BEFORE you go 2x, 3x, etc… Follow your rules without emotion, fear or greed.
I think I'd rather take half my profit and put it in my pocket or even have it just in case I lose the other half of my profit trading, but want to keep going. I'd put the other half back into the market. You can take risks without risking it all.
Maybe start increasing your position size if you already have a system in place. For newbies still learning how the forex market works, stay small so you that you will lose small as well. Can't win if you are still learning how the market works.
which stocks or indices to focus on so that I don't blow account fast?
But most traders think that they know when to take a risk even though they are not experienced yet. I still think it's best to take an amazing timing to bet a lot under 1% to 2% risk. if you take 2% risk, you can bet 50% of your account when there are stop-loss 4% down.
I risked 4x in a hike day...but the fucking hike was the most dovish in history, the pound fell almost 1.20% I lost almost 50% of my equity.....now I am recovering from that pshycologic loss lol....
im new to trading so this may be a dumb question but why didnt you just leave it alone till the market came back?
Good question Erick. However, the broker closes your deals automatically if you've lost too much.
I don't quite understand this with increasing risk. If I swing trade one could risk the whole account. But with intraday trading it must be different? Could we see an example? If for instance one wants to risk 5 % and maybe aims for a 2R. Is that even possible to achieve intraday? If it is forex that currency must move an awful lot to make it to 10 % of the account.
bruh u should do live seminars on yt
just a suggestion
Thanks
I'm going in ...
its harder because of margins and lot sizes. the smaller the hardest.the profits is not that big to risk only the profits!
most of times you are risking your account not only the profits of previous trades.
Great video
i desagree what makes the sucess in terms of money managing is not only the risk but the REAWRD. sleep on that
The pieces of stuff this man is talking about were all absolutely true....
So if I am taking the 7% Rule than I can take 14 times to trade. What should I do if I have a Drawdown at the Beginning ? Sizing down the risk to 2% ? I mean some Traders talked about patterns with a 80% winning percentage. So only one Strategy at the Beginning ?
2 years demo and even now i only risk 1% per trade. Wouldn't be able to sleep if i had 10% trade left overnight.
Even when you are very very very experienced, you are never be 100% about what's gonna happen next, so please, keep the risk around 1 - 2%, if you want more money, start with a big account and at least 3-year experience, small account means 1-2% is small but it doesn't mean you need to risk 10%, don't do it
Don’t buy on margin. Unless you are backed up large and can afford the wait.
5:30 is exactly how I do sports gambling
This fx/stock/share market are always have risk, you dare so take that risk to multiply your bank account digit.
Love it! Yup you’ve got to back yourself when the indicators are saying it’s a go!!
Stick to the rule of never risking more than 2% of your capital. If you grow your capital say 5 or 6% a month(which is perfectly possible) then you would be making around 70% a year (compound interest); which is a lot.
The biggest mistake is to get greedy just because you have a streak of wining trades.
I disagree. You can turn a 100 euro in a 100 grand risking 1 or 2%, it will just take you more time. I would never risk all profits for the day on one trade.
Merci!
I'm very interested in InterTrader, do you perhaps know if they are regulated?
Yes, we wouldn't recommend any providers that aren't regulated. See here www.financial-spread-betting.com/spreadbetting/compare-spreads.html I'd go with Trade Nation or Bux Markets.
If you water a trading account to make it grow. Why do I keep getting liquidatied.
Not speaking as an expert but, it is likely that you will be risking 10% when you absolutely believe it will be a winning trade. But believeing that you know what will happen next is dangerous in trading because no one can possibly know what will happen next. We can end up unduly losing chunks of the account which can have catastrophic impact on our physchology.
Sound advice
Amazing info
like your videos but disagre with this one greed is the shure way to loss
is not about greed... is about taking 500-1000$ (or even less) and risk your way up to 50k in short period of time... (like 1y or so) risking a lot on some trades when you are most confident... tons of people here are just viewing the risk part.... probably not giving numbers here was not such a good idea after all!
hi there , how much money do i need to make 1.000 euros per month in trading ...?
Alright I’m 3:30 in and what you just said makes no sense to me.
If 1%-2% trades can build up your account as a newbie. And it is enough for profit, how can’t 2% be worth the risk?
2% of 100 shares is 2% of 10k shares anyway you look at it.
I don’t agree.
I’m still watching and I can’t disagree more. You should not increase risk as your equity increases!
This is the worst advice you could follow.
Take a risk of 2:1 all the way through. When you feel good maybe a 1:1.
Do not risk 10% of your portfolio.
My God! Worst advice I’ve ever heard!
This sounds a lot like the Martingale betting strategy - which is bad.
If you doubled your money for 30 days in a row, starting from a penny. After 30 days you would have £10.7 million. That is math
No offense but this guy is teaching you how to lose all your profits. Being profitable in a long term is all about not losing money.
He just means the better you become, you can decide to risk more to make more.
Sounds like reverse martingale
Yup it is ,it always helps me when markets are on fire.10 right decision and boom i doubled my account.But most of the time its 5 streaks thats all.For me its risk free.Protect your capital first then amplify you profir using gains then only protect what you made.Simple.
look for 1to1 trades and target %60 winrate. risk %20 onmeach trade. that what kelly says...
Reverse martingale strategy.
Good talking
Mark, you know, I've already watched this video before… but now re- watching it I understand how REAL and sage trader you are.. I've asked some questions before already, but that's exactly what is going on with me and my accout (I trade micro - futures with a small account)... Trying to following "other's people" rules like 2% of account max… I am dying in the sea o small stop losses… but if I am following my gut, and I place my stop where it has to be, no matter how much % it is….it goes almost always right...yes, sometimes I take lost like 4-5% of my account in one trade...but mostly it works
How much should I risk with a 200 dollar account
"Halving your account down to a quarter the size" I love your videos, but as an Englishman I reserve the right to take the piss :)
I'll go to the moon with this -) cheers
When he says risk 1% does that mean I am willing to lose at most 1% of my account for 1%+ profit?
yep
armynso if you risk 1% you can make anything 5%, 10% whatever.
Everyone has the potential to become a Forex trader thanks to the availability of trading platforms, advanced computer systems, countless educational resources and ultra-fast streaming technology.
Please just make a normal X. It is super confusing with something that does not even look like an X. Optimally you should have used a number like 100 usd.
