Текст уроку

  1. Sam

    I have 1,000 and only want to lose 20. So I just put it all in?

  2. Nexubo

    What's in your account, how much you buy in this trade, and the most you plan to lose are three different things. Decide your exit first. Then you can size the position.

  3. Оповідач

    One practice sum. Entry at 50,000, planned exit at 47,500. That's 5% away. If you plan to take a 20 price loss, ignoring costs, the position is about 400.

  4. Sam

    So 'lose at most 20' doesn't mean 'buy only 20'?

  5. Nexubo

    Right. Here a 400 position falling 5% is the 20. These are teaching numbers only.

  6. Оповідач

    Real markets have slippage, gaps, fees and failed orders, so planned risk is not a guaranteed maximum loss. Never borrow money for this course, and never practise with money you need to live on.

  7. Sam

    Twenty.

  8. Nexubo

    Work out the worst you can accept first. Then ask whether you need this trade at all.

  9. Оповідач

    You set a stop-loss. Does that mean you can only lose that amount? Next: the truth about stops.

  10. Оповідач

    Understand first, then act.
