Managing risk is far more important than any strategy in Forex. The foreign exchange market is the largest financial market in the world, with roughly $7.5 trillion traded daily. Its enormous liquidity makes profits possible, but also magnifies losses when high leverage is used. As Investopedia notes, trading is not gambling – the difference lies in risk management. In other words, successful speculators control and limit their risk, whereas gamblers do not. This guide is tailored for Indian traders, who face unique rules (RBI/SEBI regulations) and market factors. We explain forex risk management step-by-step – from the basics of leverage to calculating lot size and margin – so you can protect your capital. (For practical trading solutions, Orderglo provides advanced Forex platforms and educational tools, helping you apply these principles in real markets.)
Understanding Forex Risk Management for Indian Traders
Forex risk management means defining and controlling the amount you can lose on any trade. A common principle is to risk only a small fraction (often 1-2%) of your capital on a single trade. For example, with a ₹100,000 account, limiting your loss to 1-2% (₹1,000-2,000) per trade leaves room for dozens of losses without wiping you out. As a rule of thumb, drawing strict stop-losses and position sizes based on a fixed risk percentage “stacks the odds” in your favor. Without these controls, traders often end up trading like gamblers – reacting emotionally – and most fail. In fact, research finds about 90% of retail traders lose money over time. The difference between those who survive and thrive is a disciplined, risk-first approach.
Indian traders must also navigate specific regulations and market traits. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) mandates that online Forex trades be executed only on authorised platforms or recognised exchanges. Only SEBI-registered brokers on exchanges (NSE, BSE, MSE) may offer currency trading. Moreover, Indian residents can trade only INR pairs (currently USD/INR, EUR/INR, GBP/INR, JPY/INR). These rules limit diversification: you cannot legally trade cross-currency pairs like EUR/USD. Beginners often try offshore brokers to access more pairs or ultra-high leverage, which is illegal and risky. Authorized trading also avoids punitive spreads or hidden fees – Kotak Securities reports average USD/INR spreads around 3-4 pips (higher than global majors). In short, new Indian traders must be extra cautious with leverage and margin, use only authorised brokers, and design trades around INR pairs and local volatility.
What Is Risk Management in Forex Trading?
Risk management in Forex means controlling potential loss. It starts with planning – calculating the odds and knowing your exit points. When entering a trade, draw two “lines in the sand”: a stop-loss where you will exit if the market goes against you, and a profit target (or break-even point) to lock in gains. For example, if you buy EUR/INR at 90.00 and set a stop at 89.50, you risk 50 pips. If your position size is 0.01 lot (100 euros per pip ~ ₹80 per pip), that trade risks ₹4,000. Making sure this ₹4,000 is only 1-2% of your account preserves capital. If the price hits your stop, you accept the loss as just part of trading. In contrast, profit maximization without stops can wipe out accounts: over-trading or letting losses run unchecked often destroys novice accounts. Indeed, behavioural finance notes that losses feel about 2-2.5 times as painful as equivalent gains. Without strict risk controls, many traders hold losing positions too long hoping to recover, which often deepens the loss.
Unique Risk Factors for Indian Forex Traders
Indian traders face special risk factors. Firstly, the RBI/SEBI rules restrict allowed pairs to INR-based ones. This means you cannot spread risk across many global currencies as easily as in overseas markets. Secondly, the rupee is relatively volatile. For example, in 2022 the INR fell about 11% against the USD – its worst annual performance since 2013. Sudden swings can be triggered by events like U.S. dollar strength, oil price shocks or changes in foreign investment flows. Traders must therefore watch for domestic developments too: RBI policy meetings and announcements can move INR pairs significantly. Lastly, leverage limits in India are lower than some offshore brokers offer (see below), but many new traders overestimate their skill and take on too much leverage anyway, often through illegal platforms, increasing risk. In summary, Indian forex traders must manage risk knowing they can only trade INR pairs on limited platforms while dealing with a volatile currency.
Forex Leverage Explained – Benefits, Risks & Indian Regulations
Leverage in Forex means you control a large position with a small deposit (margin). For example, 1:50 leverage lets you trade ₹50,000 worth of currency for each ₹1,000 in your account. While higher leverage can magnify profits, it equally magnifies losses. As Investopedia notes, if a 1:100 leveraged trade moves 50 pips against you, you could lose far more than your margin if not stopped. Beginners often misunderstand leverage: they think it’s “free money”, but it is essentially a double-edged sword. A small market move in your favor can yield large gains, but an adverse move can quickly wipe out your capital.
Indian regulations cap leverage for retail traders to protect them. SEBI sets a maximum leverage of 1:50 on major INR pairs (USD/INR, EUR/INR, GBP/INR, JPY/INR, etc.) and 1:20 on minors/exotics. This means brokers can’t legally offer 1:100 or higher on Indian trades. Many offshore brokers still advertise 1:400 or more, but using those is illegal and can trigger severe penalties. Always check that your broker is SEBI-registered. Using too high leverage is especially dangerous for Indian traders with smaller accounts: it can trigger margin calls quickly on normal market jitter, as even a 1% adverse move could exceed the allowed margin. As a rule, treat high leverage as risk, not profit.
What Is Leverage in Forex Trading? (With Simple Example)
Leverage is simply the ratio of position size to your actual capital. For instance:
- 1:10 leverage means controlling 10 times your deposit. A ₹10,000 deposit lets you trade ₹100,000. A 10-pip move is a ₹1,000 swing in a standard lot.
- 1:50 leverage (common maximum in India) means a ₹1,000 deposit controls ₹50,000. A 10-pip move then swings ₹5,000 in a standard lot.
- 1:100 leverage (not permitted by SEBI on INR pairs) would let a ₹1,000 deposit control ₹100,000. A 10-pip swing in a standard lot would move ₹10,000, fully eating a small account.
For example, at 1:10 leverage on USD/INR with a ₹20,000 account, you could open a ₹200,000 position. If the market moves 20 pips against you, your loss is roughly ₹4,000 (20 pips × ₹20/pip). At 1:100 leverage, the same 20-pip move would be a ₹40,000 loss – far above your account. This illustrates how leverage multiplies both profit and loss.
Maximum Leverage Allowed for Indian Forex Traders
Indian brokers and exchanges follow SEBI/RBI rules. Currently, you will only get up to 1:50 leverage on INR currency pairs. Offshore brokers may advertise much higher leverage, but trading with them is against regulations for an Indian resident. At Orderglo (a regulated forex broker), all trading complies with these rules. The key differences: international brokers let you trade cross-currency pairs (like EUR/USD), while Indian brokers only allow INR pairs. Because of this, Indian traders often trade with lower leverage naturally. Always verify your broker’s credentials, and use leverage at the lower end (for example 1:10-1:20) until you gain experience.
How to Choose Safe Leverage Based on Account Size
A simple rule: smaller accounts should use lower leverage to avoid blowing up. For example:
- For an account around ₹10,000, use no more than 1:10 leverage. This way, your margin is mostly your money, limiting how fast losses mount.
- For about ₹50,000, you might use up to 1:20 carefully. Even so, avoid the full 1:50 maximum.
- For ₹100,000 or more, a leverage of 1:20-1:30 can be reasonable for intraday traders. (Long-term traders might use even lower.)
These are guidelines – your own risk appetite matters. Lower leverage means smaller position sizes, but it also means surviving more losing streaks. For instance, with ₹50,000 at 1:10, a 100-pip loss on a mini lot (10,000 unit lot) is only ₹10,000 (20% of capital). That can be absorbed or cut quickly. With 1:100, the same move could wipe you out. In short, always scale leverage to match your capital and experience.
Lot Size in Forex Trading – The Key to Capital Protection
Lot size is the volume of currency you trade. It directly controls risk. In Forex, a Standard Lot is 100,000 units of the base currency, a Mini Lot is 10,000, and a Micro Lot is 1,000. For INR pairs, a 0.01 lot (1 micro lot) of USD/INR is 1,000 USD (~₹80,000 at ₹80/USD). If USD/INR moves 1 pip (0.01 rupee), each micro lot moves about ₹10. Larger lots mean each pip moves more money, increasing risk per pip.
Wrong lot sizing can quickly wipe out an account: for example, buying 0.1 lots (10,000 USD) with only a ₹10,000 account and no stop-loss is a recipe for disaster if USD/INR moves against you by even 2 pips (₹200 per pip × 2 = ₹400, almost 4% of your capital). In practice, lot size matters more than timing. Pros often say you need only a few pips of profit to be a great trader – but you need to avoid wiping out your account more than a few times to survive.
What Is a Lot Size in Forex Trading?
- Standard Lot: 100,000 units of base currency. On USD/INR, 1.00 lot is $100,000 (≈₹8,000,000 at ₹80/USD). Each pip is ₹800 (since 1 pip = ₹0.01 on a ₹100,000 position).
- Mini Lot: 10,000 units. A 0.10 lot of USD/INR = $10,000 (≈₹800,000). Each pip is about ₹80.
- Micro Lot: 1,000 units. A 0.01 lot USD/INR = $1,000 (≈₹80,000). Each pip is about ₹8.
- Pip Value: How much one pip is worth depends on lot size and currency. For INR pairs, pip value in rupees = 0.0001 × position size. For example, 1 mini lot (10,000 USD) on USD/INR: 1 pip = 0.01 INR × 10,000 = ₹100.
How to Calculate Ideal Lot Size for Indian Traders
To find a safe lot size, follow steps:
- 1. Decide risk per trade. A common choice is 1-2% of account balance. E.g., on ₹50,000, 2% risk = ₹1,000 per trade.
- 2. Choose stop-loss (SL) in pips. Look at chart support/resistance. Suppose a safe SL is 50 pips.
- 3. Calculate pip value and lot size. Risk (₹1,000) ÷ SL in pips (50) = ₹20 per pip. On USD/INR, each 0.10 lot has pip value ≈₹80 (mini lot). So ₹20 per pip corresponds to 0.025 mini lots (250 USD). That’s 2.5 micro lots. In practice, you would trade 0.02 (2 micro lots) or 0.03 (3 micros) as a close estimate. Use a lot size calculator to get it exact.
- 4. Check margin. Ensure you have enough margin: Margin = (Lot Size × Contract Size) ÷ Leverage. For example, 0.02 lots USD/INR at ₹80 with 1:20 leverage: margin = (0.02×100,000)×80 ÷20 = ₹8,000. This is your “used margin”.
Following this method keeps risk fixed regardless of lot or leverage. Many online pip/margin calculators can do these steps automatically (see Tools below).
Recommended Lot Size by Account Balance
As a rough guideline for Indian accounts:
- ₹5,000-10,000 account: Only use micro lots (0.01 to 0.05 lots). Risking even one mini lot on such a small balance is often too much.
- ₹25,000-50,000 account: Mini lots (0.10) can be used, but cautiously. A conservative trader might stick to 0.01-0.05 lots per trade, depending on stop-loss.
- ₹100,000+ account: You can trade a few mini lots, but still base size on risk%. Even if capital is larger, don’t jump to standard lots quickly. For example, a ₹100,000 account risking 1% (₹1,000) with a 50-pip stop could take ~0.1 lots on USD/INR (₹80 per pip × 0.1 lots = ₹8 per pip, so ₹8×50 = ₹400). Keep it small until you consistently win.
Remember, these are just starting points. Even high-balance traders often use modest lot sizes (like 0.2-0.5 lots) until their strategy proves profitable.
Margin in Forex Trading – How It Works & Why It’s Risky
Margin is the capital required to open a leveraged position. If you trade 1 lot USD/INR at ₹80 with 1:50 leverage, margin = (1×100,000)×80 ÷50 = ₹160,000. You only need ₹160k in your account to control ₹8 million. The rest is “borrowed” by your broker.
- Used Margin: Money “locked” to maintain open trades.
- Free Margin: Equity minus Used Margin. For example, with ₹200,000 equity and ₹160,000 used margin, free margin = ₹40,000.
- Margin Level (%): (Equity / Used Margin) × 100. Brokers often set a stop-out level (e.g. 30-50%). If your margin level falls below that, open positions are closed to protect the broker.
A margin call occurs when losses reduce your equity to the minimum margin threshold. For instance, if our ₹200k account falls to ₹160k (used margin), margin level = 100%. Many brokers warn when margin level hits, say, 50%. A margin call asks you to add funds or close trades. If ignored and margin level hits the stop-out point, the broker liquidates positions (stop-out) to prevent the account from going negative. This can happen quickly in volatile markets.
Margin Calculation Formula (Indian Trader Friendly)
The basic formula is:
Margin = (Lot Size × Contract Size) ÷ Leverage
- Lot Size: in base currency units (1 lot = 100,000).
- Contract Size: e.g. USD/INR, 1 USD = ₹? (for precise calculation, you multiply by the price).
- Leverage: e.g. 50 for 1:50.
Example: You open 0.05 lots USD/INR (5,000 USD) at ₹80 with 1:30 leverage. Margin = (0.05×100,000)×80 ÷30 = ₹13,333. This ₹13,333 is the capital required to place that trade.
Margin Call vs Stop Out – What Indian Traders Must Know
- Margin Call: If your losses push equity below the required margin (margin level falls), the broker will notify you to add funds.
- Stop Out: If equity falls further (usually 20-50% margin level), the broker automatically closes your losing trades.
To avoid these, always leave extra buffer in your account. Never use all your free margin on one trade. A good rule is to never let margin level drop below 100%. This means your equity should always stay above your used margin.
Risk-to-Reward Ratio – The Core of Consistent Forex Trading
The risk-to-reward ratio (R:R) compares potential profit to potential loss on a trade. For example, 1:2 risk-reward means you risk ₹1 for a chance to make ₹2. Professionals often aim for at least 1:2. Many experts even favour 1:3 or higher, meaning they only take trades where the expected profit is three times the risk. This way, even if only half your trades win, you can still net positive. For instance, if you risk ₹500 to potentially make ₹1,500 (1:3), three losses (-₹1,500) can be offset by a single win of ₹1,500.
What Is Risk-Reward Ratio in Forex?
Simply put: Risk = amount lost if the trade hits your stop. Reward = amount gained if it hits your target. Expressed as a ratio (risk:reward). Common examples:
- 1:1: Risk ₹1 to make ₹1. Profits need a >50% win rate to break even.
- 1:2: Risk ₹1 to make ₹2. You only need ~34% win rate to break even.
- 1:3: Risk ₹1 to make ₹3. You only need ~25% win rate to break even.
Investopedia notes that many traders prefer a 1:3 ratio. However, in practice, Indian retail traders often adopt around 1:2 for intraday or swing trades – it strikes a balance between realistic targets and risk control.
Best Risk-Reward Strategies for Small Accounts
For small accounts, conservative R:R helps survival:
- Scalping (short-term): Aim for 1:1 or 1:1.5. These tight targets match quick price moves; larger targets are risky without full-time charts.
- Intraday Trading: Often 1:2 is used. For example, if you risk 20 pips, set a 40-pip target. This keeps trades realistic but profitable.
- Swing Trading (multi-day): You might use 1:2 or higher, since you set wider targets (e.g. risk 50 pips to gain 100 pips).
Whichever style, ensure each trade’s target is at least twice the distance of the stop-loss for a 1:2 ratio. Always compute your R:R before trading. This way, even with a modest win rate, you can grow your account.
How Much Should Indian Traders Risk Per Trade?
Most experts recommend a fixed percent of your capital per trade. Common rules: 1% or 2% risk per trade. For a ₹50,000 account, 1% risk means only ₹500 at stake per trade. 2% would be ₹1,000. Lower risk (1%) means slower growth but more survival buffer, whereas 2% can grow capital faster but is tougher on drawdowns. Use the method above (lot size calculation) to enforce this rule.
“Going all in” or risking large chunks to chase losses usually fails. It may double an account on a big win, but it can wipe it out overnight with a normal fluctuation. Even major trading firms limit risk per trade to 1-3%. The idea is to treat your trading like a business: set clear risk limits and never deviate.
1% vs 2% Risk Rule – Which Is Better?
- 1% Rule: Very conservative. Allows more mistakes (50+ losing trades in a row before wiping out, theoretically). Good for beginners or very volatile markets. The downside is it takes more time to build equity.
- 2% Rule: Faster growth potential, but also faster drawdowns. Acceptable if your strategy has a proven edge and you strictly follow stop losses. For small accounts, 2% is often considered the maximum safe risk. For larger accounts, some traders use 2-3% on high-probability setups.
As a guideline, many Indian traders start with 1% until they have consistent wins. They may move to 2% later. The exact choice depends on your comfort and confidence – the math of risk is the same either way.
Daily & Weekly Risk Limits for Forex Traders
To preserve capital, professional traders also enforce daily or weekly stop-losses. For example:
- Daily Loss Limit: 2-3% of account. If reached, stop trading for the day.
- Weekly Loss Limit: 5-10% of account per week. If hit, take a break.
These prevent emotional “revenge trading” after losses. For instance, if an Indian trader caps daily loss at ₹2,000 on a ₹100,000 account, they stop trading once they lose that amount. Historical data shows accounts often lose the most after initial losses when traders chase profits emotionally. By sticking to daily/weekly drawdown rules, traders protect capital and reset discipline.
Stop Loss Strategies to Control Forex Trading Risk
No trade should be entered without a plan to exit if wrong. Stop-loss orders automate this. They close a trade when price hits a set level, capping your loss. Investopedia calls stop-loss orders “among the best risk management tools” because they remove emotion and limit downside.
At Orderglo and on our trading platform, we encourage the use of stop orders on every trade. It might feel like a trade barrier, but it’s actually a safety net. Without it, even a tiny adverse move can amplify into a catastrophe under leverage.
Types of Stop Loss Used by Professional Traders
Professional traders use various methods to set stops:
- Fixed Stop: A fixed number of pips away based on volatility. E.g., always 50 pips for EUR/INR on a 5-minute scalp.
- ATR-based Stop: Based on the Average True Range (ATR) indicator, which adapts to current volatility. For instance, setting a stop at 1.5×ATR away from entry. This widens in volatile markets.
- Structure-based Stop (Chart Stop): Placed beyond technical levels (support/resistance). E.g., just below a support line or below a recent swing low.
Each method has pros and cons. The key is consistency: once chosen, stick to your rules. Changing a stop mid-trade often leads to over-risking.
Common Stop Loss Mistakes Indian Traders Make
- Stops Too Tight: Especially inexperienced traders place stops only a few pips away. Normal market noise trips these, resulting in many small losses and no chance for profits.
- Moving Stops Emotionally: Some traders move stops closer to “lock in profits” as soon as a trade goes a bit their way. This turns a potential winner into a loss if price then reverses.
- No Stop on News Trades: Trading around news (like RBI policy updates) without stops can be deadly. The gap risk or high volatility can blow through unprotected positions.
Avoid these mistakes by planning your stop logically before entry and never changing it unless your strategy dictates. If you trade a news event, either avoid it or use extra-large stops and tiny lot sizes.
Managing Risk During News & High Volatility Sessions
Forex markets often react violently to economic news. For INR pairs, high-impact events include:
- RBI Policy and Budget Announcements: These can move the rupee sharply in minutes.
- U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) & Fed Decisions: Being a USD pair, USD/INR often swings when the US Fed or NFP data is released. Traders worldwide watch these.
- Global Inflation Data/ECB Policy: EUR/INR can jolt on Eurozone data or ECB meetings.
- Crude Oil News: As India is a major oil importer, oil price shocks often affect the rupee indirectly.
On days with such events, risk management rules should tighten:
- Reduce Lot Size: Even if you normally trade 0.10 lots, drop to 0.01-0.05 lots around news.
- Lower Leverage: Use a fraction of your usual leverage (e.g. 1:10 instead of 1:20) so your margin isn’t blown by a quick spike.
- Wider Stops or Stay Out: If volatility is expected, either place stops farther out (and reduce lot size accordingly) or skip trading altogether. For example, if USD/INR is reacting to an RBI rate decision, many traders wait an hour post-announcement to see direction.
News trading is high-risk. A disciplined rule might be: unless you are extremely confident and experienced, avoid trading INR pairs 30 minutes before and after major news. Even if you feel lucky, the unpredictability can annihilate unhedged positions.
Psychological Risk Management in Forex Trading
Market risk aside, human psychology is a major risk factor. Fear and greed can quietly destroy accounts if unchecked. For instance, loss aversion means losses hurt us about 2-2.5 times more than equivalent gains feel good. This leads traders to hold losers too long (hoping to avoid “realising” a loss) and cut winners too early. In practice, a trader might see a position go 20 pips in loss and decide to “wait it out,” only to see it hit 50 pips. This emotional reaction turns a controlled loss into a disaster.
How Fear and Greed Destroy Trading Accounts
- Fear: Manifests as rushing to exit trades or avoiding risk altogether. A fearful trader might close a position at the first sign of loss, even if the setup is still valid, or never pull the trigger on a trade. Over time, this prevents consistent profits.
- Greed: Causes chasing trades and increasing risk on winners. After a win, a greedy trader might double position size hoping “it won’t lose,” leading to much larger losses. Greed also drives “revenge trading” after losses – trying to recoup quickly by over-leveraging.
- Overconfidence: After a few wins, traders might ignore their own rules, skip stops, or take setups outside their plan. The FXStreet study notes that overconfidence can quietly expand risk.
Tracking emotions is critical. Whenever fear or greed strikes, the trading plan suffers.
Building a Risk-First Trading Mindset
Traders who survive long-term treat trading like a business, not gambling. Key principles:
- Focus on Process, Not Profits: Write out rules (entry, stop, target) before trading and follow them strictly. Checklists can help: did you set a stop? Is the risk per trade within your limit? This depersonalises trading decisions.
- Accept Losses as Business Costs: See each loss as a payment for a chance to win. One way to reinforce this is by scaling out risk as described. For example, once a trade is 2× risk in profit, move the stop to break-even – many pros do this. (Investopedia even suggests “sliding your stops” to secure gains once you’re in profit.)
- Use Trading Journals: Keep a record of every trade: why you took it, what your plan was, and the emotional state. Over time you’ll spot patterns (e.g. “I overtrade on Fridays” or “I tighten stops after losses”). A journal acts like a mirror for your bad habits.
Stop-loss orders themselves help manage emotion. As one Investopedia guide notes, “Stop-loss orders remove emotion from the equation… stop-losses effectively nullify [the tendency to hold losers too long]”. By the time volatility hits, your exit is already determined.
Common Risk Management Mistakes Indian Forex Traders Must Avoid
- Using Excessive Leverage: Don’t be enticed by “100:1” leverage ads. Always check SEBI rules and use the lowest effective leverage for your size and strategy.
- Ignoring Position Sizing: Even if you have a good system, betting too large on any trade can wipe your gains. Always calculate lot size based on risk percentage, not desired profit.
- Trading Without Stop-Loss: Never leave a trade open without a defined stop. The market can move fast (especially INR around news), and having no stop is like betting your life savings on a coin flip.
- Overtrading in Volatility: Bigger movements can mean bigger losses. During volatile hours or thin markets, trade less or not at all.
- Chasing Losses (“All-In” mentality): Trying to recover losses by increasing risk usually leads to greater losses. Stick to your plan and limits.
Following these rules will keep you in the game longer.
Best Forex Risk Management Tools for Indian Traders
Good tools can automate the math so you can focus on strategy.
Forex Calculators Every Trader Should Use
- Lot Size/Pip Value Calculator: Enter your account currency, pair, stop-loss pips and risk %; it tells you ideal lot size. (Many brokers and sites offer these.)
- Margin Calculator: Computes required margin given lot size, pair and leverage. This ensures you have enough funds before placing a trade.
- Risk/Reward Calculator: Helps plan trades by checking if targets and stops meet your desired R:R ratio.
These calculators are widely available (even on Orderglo’s platform tools) and save time on manual calculations, reducing errors in position sizing.
Using Trading Journals to Improve Risk Control
A trading journal is a simple yet powerful tool. Record each trade’s entry, exit, lot size, stops, and emotions. Over weeks or months, review the data. You might discover, for example, that you lose more on morning trades or that late-night trades cost you more. The act of writing things down itself enforces discipline – as Investopedia suggests, journaling and scoring your trade execution “helps you understand if your system is stacking the odds in your favour”. The insights let you adjust strategy and risk: if 60% of losses happened with certain setups, avoid them or set wider stops. Think of a journal as a feedback loop that continuously improves your risk management.
Final Thoughts – Build a Risk-Proof Forex Trading Plan
Consistent profitability in Forex is almost impossible without strong risk management. Indian traders must live by one simple rule: Protect capital first, profits second. Leverage, lot size, and margin are the three “gears” of your risk-control machine. When used wisely together, they can keep a small account alive through drawdowns. Ensure every trade has a defined stop-loss and R:R ratio, and only risk a fixed percent of your equity. Avoid emotional trading – stick to your rules even after losses.
By following these principles and using tools like calculators and journals, you cultivate an “edge” in the market. Over time, small, protected gains compound. Remember that even the best strategies fail often; only a risk-proof plan ensures you can capitalize on the winners.If you need a partner on this journey, Orderglo provides multiple trading accounts (Standard, Premium, Ultra, VIP, and our challenge funded account forex), advanced platforms (MT5 and our OG Platform), and resources to reinforce risk management.
