How big should your position be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the easy one. You must decide, based on your risk management rules<\/strong> in your forex trading plan, what your position size<\/strong> will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This allows you to know your maximum risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much are you willing to risk per trade?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1%?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2%?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5%?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

10%?!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

20%?!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or are you going to bet the farm?!!!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah that\u2019s right. Do it. Bet the farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Bet<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

No silly!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t bet the farm!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"No<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Haven\u2019t you been paying attention?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want to become a trader, not a gambler!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And unless you\u2019re really a farmer, you probably don\u2019t even own a farm anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Position sizing is important because it helps your account stay healthy and ready for the next opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to take note of how big or small you are trading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By keeping track of position size in your journal, you can see whether you are comfortable trading large position sizes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or if you prefer smaller lot sizes while using wider stops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily for you, we have a  gift!.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our Tools section, we have a\u00a0Position Size Calculator\u00a0to help you do the math and find the right number of units you should be trading!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
